It's rare that messages get deleted/altered on this board. That is unless of course you act like a douche. OU is finally doing well in a sport. Congrats. Have some respect.

BG's trees are great!

Except for the slow OU people climbing in them.

LOL! I hope this choch realizes that BG leads the all time series in EVERY sport with OU...EVERY one of them. Well, except maybe Bong hitting.

Pathetic.

168-51....the combined score of the last 4 games with OU in football. Hmmm....that's an average ot 42-13.

GO FALCONS!

To reply to this for the second time because of someone removing everything on his powertrip, if the original post wasn't deleted, you could read it again and see the comment about one tree was directed to the BGSU campus and not the town of BG.

I'll let this one slide...Metz needs to know how you feel about the trees.

Flipper

At least we have roads in BG....and indoor plumbing.

The last football game at OU I had to park by a dead deer that had been hit by a car. It was right beside the stadium. The only thing that amazed me that it was still there and not on someone's dinner table.

I posted this in another link, but I throw it in here too about the BG tree(s):

Oh, the one tree at BG story, it never goes away, does it? After being a tour guide at BG and then working eight years at an ACC institution that allowed me to visit nearly 100 major college campuses across the country, I will say this much, the quantity of trees for the size and location of our campus is low. As a tour guide, I was surprised how many times I heard negative-type of comments about the overall look of our campus concerning the architecture of our buildings, the lack of tress and shaded spaces, no hills, etc.. Reading through the BGSU Campus Master Plan, the parts about improving the appearance of our campus is highlighted numerous times and I think that message has hit home and we are going to do something about it.

Many of the issues stemming from the one-tree at BG come from the flat, open feel of our campus. Yes, we have many trees on campus, but when you compare the number of trees we have for a non-city/college town school compared to other schools our size or style, we don't have nearly as many. In comparison, walk across Ohio U. or Miami-Ohio’s campus and you see the difference immediately. Much of that has to do with the terrain of the areas as well. OU and Miami are hillier and Athens and Oxford are more wooded area. But I never noticed our limited number of trees more than after my days at BG. Seeing all those other schools (non-city), it does become more apparent.

I agree we have more than “one tree” as we’ve heard so many time, but I also feel we could and should have many more. The quad in front of University Hall is often referred to the most beautiful part of the BGSU campus, and the main reason is because of the number of large tress and the older buildings that “look like” what most college buildings look like. When you get past the library and head East on our campus, it loses that feel and is much more of an open area with what many would consider less attractive buildings.

But the one thing that may make BG known the most as a “one tree” campus is because of the one big tree standing in the intramural field. For many people that come to BG for the first time, you pass through that area and you see the one tree/very open feel and it becomes their first impression of the place. We have a few nice wooded areas, but many including myself feel we could use a lot more.

In my opinion, more trees doesn't make BG any better. You hit on it BGSU33, but then completely ignore it. A campus packed with trees doesn't fit in the area. We are a school surrounded on just about every side with miles of farm fields. I would much rather have the big intramural field than a bunch of trees. Flat fields is nothing to be ashamed of. I like big open areas. I like the old campus has well. To me it makes BG unique and memorable.

I agree a campus packed with trees wouldn't make it all better, but I will say without a doubt, adding more than what we have would make it a lot nicer. Just my opinion.

How about Tree Rollins? We could use him!

Maybe that can be another thread: Lousy big men who played for the Cavs?
