"BG was relentless. It's like they know that a good first pass on the breakout from a defenseman will almost always result in an odd-man rush against them - but they go in anyway and dare you to make that pass. All three of their goals were just grit and effort. That's a team any fan can be proud to support...they give all they've got."

Grant, The way this was originally worded, I thought they were going to take OUT the trees...then our neighbors to the north could've REALLY had a good time... (How many trees do THEY have, by the way?) :rolleyes:
Education our Challenge, Excellence our goal. (look it up)

Agreed. When I read the headline, I also thought they were going to take trees OUT!! Glad to see I was wrong. What they are doing is VERY COOL!!!

Never understood the one tree thing for BG. I guess from I-75 the view is pretty unimpeded but the central campus seems fairly leafy. UT has many more trees-the Ottawa River (think Poe Ditch cubed) is entirely lined with trees and there are a number of heavily forested areas, particularly behind Parks Tower and the sorority/frat houses inthe old south Campus. Not sure how long its been since you've seen UT campus '61 but its really pretty attractive for the most part.
