This is what they've been doing...

“We might as well just jump right back after it,” BGSU coach Dan Dakich said of the quick turnaround to start the tourney, “because sitting around talking about it, kind of what we’ve been doing, hasn’t really been working.”

I find it more interesting that we won the league 3,000 years ago and we won on back-to-back senior nights to do it. Evidently Senior Night was such a big tradition that it took up two nights . . .

He was referring to the 1999-2000 season when we won at Akron and at Marshall to clinch the regular season title on the final weekend. Two great games. It certainly does seem like 3,000 years ago, though.

He did that with Larannaga's players - not his recruits. Stacy and Esterkamp were the leaders of that team. That does seem like 3,000 years ago. I just checked out the MAC Hoopla online and found out Bowling Green is next to the bottom in attendance for our men's games. 1,764. Only Eastern Michigan had fewer attending their games. With attendance like that - a buy out could be the smart thing to do. Look at the money they are losing with people not attending the games.

I remember sitting in a bar in south Dayton on that Sat night when that Marshall game score came scrolling along the bottom of the ESPN ticker. I threw my arms up in the air and started screaming "we're going to the dance!" - the rest of the people in the bar had no idea to what I was referring (just though I was some goofy drunk).

Then we lose in the 1st round of the MAC tourney to Miami and get screwed over (again) by the selection committee.

What made that even more inpressive was BG won 6 straight to end the season as MAC Champs. I was at the Akron game on a Thursday night and BG won a very close game. Then, the team had to turn around and play at Marshall that Saturday.

Grunkenmeyer hit that 35 ft shot in the tourney....ugh. Still makes me sick when I think about it.
