Letter from Coach Brandon
Posted: Wed Nov 10, 2004 1:36 pm
I received this via e-mail from the University. Thought I would post it for those who may not have received it.
Falcon Friends and Fans,
I want again to take the opportunity to thank all of you for your
support of BGSU football over the years.
This Saturday will be another special day for the program as we
celebrate our annual Senior Day when we host Marshall at Noon. The
fifteen young men who will play at "the Doyt" for the last time have
a chance to do something that has never been done in the storied
history of our program. With one win in the final two games, BGSU
will have posted eight wins or more in a season for four consecutive
years. Just as significant is the fact that their 35-11 mark in four
seasons is currently the best of any graduating senior class in the
MAC.
I hope you will join us and celebrate their success. With a #26
national ranking in last week's ESPN/USA Today Coaches Poll, the
Falcons are on the verge of being in a major Top 25 poll for the
third straight year. This home game is critical as it is played
before a national TV audience (ESPN Game Plan) and the result for
each team will be significant as both teams are in contention for MAC
divisional titles, MAC bowl bids and additional available at-large
bowl bids.
There is no greater thrill for our players then to see the support of
Falcon fans from the time you arrive to the stadium until the final
gun.
I recall with great fondness the atmosphere that you provided in our
games a year ago against Northern Illinois, Toledo and Miami and I am
hopeful we can recapture that same energy this coming weekend.
Sincerely,
Gregg Brandon
Head Football Coach
