Special GMAC Bowl travel package offered to BGSU students

The Falcon Football team has accepted an invitation to play in the
2008 GMAC Bowl in Mobile, Ala. BGSU meets Tulsa on Jan. 6 at 8 p.m.
(EST) in Ladd-Peebles Stadium.

Student fans have been a vital part of the football team's success
this year. To recognize your pride and support, a discounted BGSU
student game ticket price of $20 is being extended--a $25 savings.
Only one ticket can be bought per student ID.

A Student Spirit Trip will depart from Bowling Green on Friday, Jan.
4, and return on Monday, Jan. 7. Registration will begin at 10 a.m.
Thursday, Dec. 6, in the Office of Campus Activities (401
Bowen-Thompson Student Union).

Your $200 registration fee (cash or check only) will include all
transportation, lodging, game ticket costs, and a continental
breakfast on game day.

Because the bowl date and travel arrangements coincide with the
beginning of spring semester, BGSU will allow students to miss the
first day of the classes if they provide advance notice to their
professors and sign in at the student registration table in Mobile.

Game details and fan events can be found at http://bgsufalcons.com.

Man, $200!!!!

I know that they think we our some deep pocket alums, but jeez... that's a sweetheart deal for $200.

That is a great deal. Someone should post it and or send it out to the myFriends SpaceBook pages and whatnot.

I posted the link on the BGSU Football application on facebook. Hopefully that will help get the word out.

At least they are trying to do something to get some student attendance at the game. First day Attendance policy has everyone nervous.

Yep. We've all done our share of griping about marketing, etc. But little things like this go a long, long way.

Me thinks this is more Mr. Whipple's doing than marketing. I could be wrong.

Well, considering this was emailed to the entire student body, all students should know. Of course, I also know that students get a campus update email everyday, yet the special lunch they were serving yesterday at the Union only a handful of people actually expected; everybody else was really surprised to see Roasted pork loin and sweet potatoes.

Will the students be staying downtown?

And how many will get to go with this deal?

Students do not get the campus email everyday anymore, this was discontinued about a year ago ( i think) now it's on mybgsu homepage. We only get important info emailed to us

Really? I've been getting a campus update email everyday with news about campus events.

My senior year I paid $495 for the Las Vegas Bowl Package.

Good fun 4 $200.00

If I weren't starting a new job were I can't take that weekend there off I would do it in a heartbeat...the deal is amazing.

This is the reason why I hate late bowl announcements. I've already spent my money on Christmas gifts for my family, ugh! I wish I could make this trip, badly!
