Most of this we all know (or know most of), but there's some fun stuff about the history and traditions of BG. It's from the domain magazine.bgsu.edu, but as "Chapter 30", I'm really kind of curious to see what body of work this came from!

Especially this little bit of info... I don't think I remembered/realized/ever knew that "Perry Field House" wasn't named for Doyt. Instead, it was named for an alum and the founder of a football opponent next season:
Charles Perry Field House: The Field House was dedicated to Charles E. Perry
in May 1998. Chuck Perry graduated from BGSU and then returned as director
of admissions, director of development and assistant to the president. He
founded the Falcon Club and was a long-time supporter of BGSU athletics.
After leaving BGSU, he founded Florida International University where he
became the youngest university president in the nation.
"I don't believe I can name a coach, anywhere, anytime, anyhow, who did it better than Doyt Perry."
-1955 BG Assistant Bo Schembechler
