Boy that was a great day to be a Falcon fan. The Falcons made Missouri look silly.

Mizzou had Brad Smith and Justin Gage on that team too. Not to mention, BG also beat Mizzou the year before in Columbia.

One of my fave games ever at the Doyt....there were Mizzou fans laughing at our stadium walking in saying it was a glorfied HS stadium. They weren't laughing leaving but I sure as hell was. GREAT day to be a Falcon...which is really every day.

I remember the comments from Gary Pinkel when he left Toledo. He thought he would tromp BG. Boy was he wrong.

Was he quoted in The Blade or something? What did he say?

after game quotes....

Missouri Coach Gary Pinkel Quotes
Bowling Green offense...
They run a good offense. I said that during the week. Harris is a good player, and Robert Redd. They were clicking. And they were clicking on everything. We didn't put ourselves out of position too often, they just made plays. They made great throws. You just have to give them credit, which you have to do when you have someone executing it that well. That's probably the best execution I've seen in a long, long time.

BGSU 3rd-and-long conversions...
You've got to make some plays. You've got to get out of a third and ten. They had a couple of third and tens that they converted. You've got to change the momentum. We could not change the momentum.

Did the BGSU Offense Throw Any Wrinkles...
It was all the same stuff we worked on. There's no excuses. They just executed very well.

Falcon big plays...
Every big play they tried, not everyone, but certainly most, they hit on every single one of them. Momentum-wise, we didn't do anything to stop them.

Interception by defensive back Michael Harden.....
That's unfortunate. The guy's dying to make a play, he makes one and you want him to knock the ball down. We were dying to have a football play out there and he made it and we lost about 40 yards on it. That's the way things went today.

FWIW, i went to the game AT Mizzou year before and recall Pinkel quotes in paper warning his team about the Falcons. Face it, if ANY coach should've known BG iw was Pinkel. But didnt make a diff in Columbia either.

Brad Smith's homecoming to Ohio was a bitter one!

[Beaker]

That game was the model of what we should be striving for when scheduling non-conference home games. A mid level school with name recognition from a big conference and at night. Weather was perfect that night, crowd was big and fully energized and it clearly translated into the way the team played. What a great game to be at.
