Cut Hockey!

:p

Seriously, I live 5 miles from campus and if it weren't for athletics I'd have no connection whatsoever with BGSU. I loved my time there, I got a great education, but with no athletics? I wouldn't be buying much (if any) BG merchandise, I wouldn't be coming back to campus at all, and I most certainly wouldn't be inclined to donate money when they call to ask me.

Hockey as the BG brand? If this were 1987, I would agree.... :) Y'all ever hear of a game called football?

fwiw, when most people I meet for the first time find out I graduated from BG they mention the hockey program before any other sport.

That's because you hang around Canadians...the Americans I meet always mention our mid week football slugfests. :-)
