The Dash

Post by Falcon137 »

For those who do not know Pat Forde was at the game Saturday night. He mentioned BG in his weekly Dash column quite a bit, mostly dealing with Urban Meyer. But, he finishes his article with this:

Point After

When thirsty in the bucolic burgh of Bowling Green, Ohio, The Dash recommends a beer at Campus Quarters (40), an energetic joint across the street from Doyt Perry Stadium and the Bowling Green campus in general. The excessive country music in the place is offset nicely by a good beer selection, and it has indoor corn toss.

The Dash found a story on the Bowling Green (33) athletic Web site dated Dec. 6, 2002, when a young coach named Urban Meyer was shooting down rumors he was leaving.

The key excerpt from the story:

"We are nowhere near what we can do here. That's what's driving me right now," Meyer said Tuesday afternoon. "Everybody's worried about those other places; nothing's going on.

"I was contacted by one, but I'm not interested. I love it here. We have a lot of work to do. That's the bottom line."

Meyer said the talk of his leaving started when he took the Bowling Green job. Coaches from other schools tell recruits Meyer is not going to stay with the Falcons.

"With recruits, that's been for two years, even before we won," he said. "[They say] 'That guy's not going to be there very long'; that's silly … The future is fantastic here … I'm proud to be the football coach here.

"Once they get to know me, know my family, know how important it is to have continuity, my kids going to school somewhere."

On Dec. 12, 2002, Meyer was hired as the new coach at Utah
==================

I didn't know that Campus Quarters was across the street from the Doyt. I remember College Station being across the street from the stadium.
