I know that sounds strange from an "orange glasses" wearing SOB like me, but until this point, we have simply been too inconsistent to be ranked. Yes, we have beaten all these ranked teams, but we have lost far too many games to Ferris State, Notre Dame, etc. In a couple of weeks I hope to see us ranked, especially after finally beating OSU and the 'Goons, but we simply haven't fully earned it yet.
A sweep of LSSU next weekend would go a loooony way in helping our cause!
GO FALCONS!!!!!!!!!

At the end of the season, there is only one ranking that really matters. The NC$$ uses the Pairwise rankings to determine the tournament participants. Last time I checked, we were 25th in those rankings. 16 teams make the NC$$'s. A good run through the end of the season and a couple wins in the CCHA playoffs, and it could very well happen. That's when people will really know what BGSU hockey is all about.BGDrew wrote:BG has now beaten the #18, #16, #14, #12 and the #6 teams in the nation.

Changing the ways of BGSU students and fans will not happen overnight. But if we can continue to pack the Ice Arena and have the crowd get into the game like they did last night, then you will see a return of when other teams feared coming into BGSU for hockey.jpfalcon09 wrote:Last night the crowd was amazing and it angers me how people only come out vs. the big named teams, if the Ice Arena was like that every night it'd be the hardest place to play at.
Absolutely!! We USED to pack the arena for every game and it WAS the hardest rink to come into for visiting teams!! We are getting there, people, we REALLY are!!! Just keep coming to the games and supporting the team. We aren't going to win every game, even games we think we should win, no team does, but we ARE headed in the right direction!!! Coming back from Friday's loss and being able to play like they did last night is a great sign of the turnaround that is happening in Falcon Hockey!!transfer2BGSU wrote:Changing the ways of BGSU students and fans will not happen overnight.

Naturally, there is going to be more interest when the big name schools come in. As a student, I experience this each time the hockey team plays, because I go around telling people about the matchups and that they should support the team. But its hard, because who wants to see Ferris State or Lake Superior? I've never even heard of those schools before this year. To the average student living inside Harshman-Dunbar, these schools just aren't interesting. Ohio State, Michigan, and Michigan State are interesting. Ferris State, Northern Michigan, Nebraska-Omaha, not so much. The only way we will improve attendance for those games is if we have a really good record and are winning.transfer2BGSU wrote:Changing the ways of BGSU students and fans will not happen overnight.
