So I defintely e-mailed facebook and ripped them good a few weeks ago about now having BG listed as one of the teams under "College Football Fan Application" and didnt hear anything back.... UNTIL TODAY! They apologized to me and created the application for ALL OF FACEBOOK!

Some of you may not have any idea what I'm talking about or how significant this could be to BG's exposure, but for all of you who do have facebook please add the BG Football Fan Application that I helped create and spread the word! WOOT!
4th & 13 on PU 32yd line.. 56,000 fans up on their feet screaming, i held my breath the entire play trying to make as little noise as possible.. wouldnt u know Sharon would make the biggest touchdown catch in the history of BG Football, FALCON UP!

Before you start ripping the creators of Facebook, you have to realize that most of those applications are written by third parties, not Facebook.

I'm not ripping, I'm celebrating. ENJOY LIFE! There were a lot of other "non BCS" teams on there, so I spoke my opinion & it won somebody over. All I really care about is the potential high school & college students that it will get flashed in front of and possibly affect future recruiting, enrollment, attendance, & appreciation for BG in general! Priceless.

Again, I'm all for BG getting as much exposure as possible. Just make sure you direct your frustration in a good direction.

As long as we're not talking about MySpace, I'm good.

Thanks for whoever posted that link. Also keep inviting your friends because you can only invite 20 people per day. So I've already used my 20 yesterday and 20 today. I like that there are videos and trivia questions on there already, lets keep this thing going!

Is there a former punter who has this application?!? Or am I nuts?

Yes, well played that man! I am immensely encouraged by Facebook's unreserved enthusiasm for Bowling Green, and I quote:

With 75 fans, Bowling Green Football Fans is #1 in the Mid-American.

Too right.

Make that 78 fans.

I also submitted a link in the application to this site, so traffic MAY pick up a little bit more, but who really knows.
ROLL ALONG!!!
