I was originally planning to go to this game but have to go out of town instead. It;s my only chance to see them.

[MACMAN]

and you choose work.......
This is a big one for this team, lets see how we come out!

[sum1udontknow]

the game will be available on the B2 network. If you go to the bgsufalcons athletic site there is a link to it. The game costs 7 dollars which i think is a fantastic deal because i usually spend plenty more than that when going on the road.

What's the video quality like on that?

BG playing at Omaha?

Get ready for 2 more losses. Can't remember if we've ever won out there in the past 4-5 years. Don't think so.

Actually, we did win out there last year, forgot about that. Maybe there's a small chance at an upset. One can only hope.

[BGDrew]

2/16/08, 3-1 win at UNO.

But hey, don't let facts stand in the way of your ignorance.

I like how you tried to correct me and initially put 10/31/08 and the incorrect score. Nice try though.

[BGDrew]

Yep, I was mistaken but corrected my facts with research.

I tried to be gentle with you earlier in the week, but my God are you f**king annoying. You are approaching the same level as nails on a chalkboard.

[BGDrew]

1-2 after 2. Potacco with BG's lone marker.

[dforde]

2-2 JST with his first collegiate goal.

[dforde]

3-2 Falcons, 11 to go. Goal by Perkin! Go Falcons!!!!!

[TheKa]

Sounds like it's getting pretty chippy out there...Hammond gets bowled over, seems a little dazed according to the radio guy. Classless Mavs fan in the background yelling to give BG a 2 minute delay of game penalty while Hammond regains his feet. I am absolutely NOT sorry to see this group go to the WCHA.

GO FALCONS!

[Falcon Frenzy]

I hope Hammond's OK. He's played a great game tonight!

This is really cool! I hope we can hold on for the win!!!
