Fire Loeffler... NOW!

[kdog27]

I live in central Alabama. I use to try to make 1 game a year and if I was lucky two. I’d get so excited for future schedules with games at Troy, Florida, Mississippi State, WKU, South Alabama, Tennessee, GT and I even got lucky with a bowl game in Montgomery. Had an annual tradition of going to see hockey team play in Huntsville. Anymore I find myself talking myself out of these games. I couldn’t go watch us get spanked by MSU. Was there 9 years ago when they should have won.

It probably makes me a little fair weather but hell you know when FF90 doesn’t get up for games like he use to you aren’t the problem.

FWIW,
I contacted interim AD a month or so ago questioning WHY there were no programs available. Said I understood last yr. (COVID etc) but at least make roster sheet/ 2 deep etc availabile . They DO this for party deck on a printed tag board material. So why not do same for main stadium. Even charge a buck or two wouldn’t be a problem. She obviously didn’t understand that I was saying CHARGE it. Came back with how expensive it would be if they had to do it for all sports. (Even high school games provide rosters or small programs with this team info available.) my complaint centered on the “official “ program they list online. Had 2 deep, no complete roster, no visitor roster etc. at least she must’ve listened to THAT part of my suggestion since entire BG roster was added.
WHY do we have to reach this point? I’m afraid to even contact her again wondering when BG will add safety railings at Doyt… or are they waiting for someone to fall? Better not be me or Joyce.

Typical. How many of those roster sheets are really necessary? Maybe 2 reams of paper? Hell make it 4 reams and put some out at the entrances on each side. How much will it cost to print a 2 sided piece of paper with team rosters on one side and 2-deep maybe some stats on the other? Oh, I don't know, maybe $300/game? LMAO...

They did the same bullshit at the BG basketball games a few years back getting rid of the gameday roster/stat sheets. I think there was some push back because they did bring them back. For the basketball games I don't think they even need to print 500 of them. They better keep them around or I'll again be bitching at thin air...

I'm just shocked you actually got a response. When we first started complaining about the gameday ops issues after the home opener I emailed the entire Athletic Director staff (from the online directory) a link to our thread. I didn't get so much as a response saying, "We're keeping our eyes on things, thanks for the heads up". Needless to say I have not been to a game since, and I definitely won't be back to another this year.

Hey BGSU. When you are pissing off the people who actually care enough about your athletics to spend countless hours discussing it on a dying medium, you are DOING SOMETHING WRONG. None of us think you're fu**ing Ohio State. We don't expect to win 13 games a season. We don't expect to have the red carpet rolled out. We just want you to act like you give a damn and don't go out of your way to make fan experience miserable. You have to literally TRY to be this bad at your jobs. That's why you're getting a new AD, and that's why the whole lot of you who are still employed there need to be shipped out. You're part of the problem. Fix this s**t, and the wins will come.

I'm a Falcon Club member and hockey season ticket holder. After reading these comments I think I'm an outlier. I get preferred parking in Lot BB, the lounge is open to me before the game, for a home series one of the coaches gives a chalk talk before the Friday night game, all the lineup sheets you could possibly want are ready and waiting when you enter the arena. Concessions between periods can be a pain, but a) we have a small facility and there's only so much you can do, and b) concessions at Blackhawks, Red Wings, Blue Jackets, and Walleye games are a also pain between periods. Beers are available in the main arena whenever you want them (and they're tall boys). Food selection isn't necessarily awesome, but the hot dogs are passable.

Sure, there are things they could do to improve game day experience, but all-in-all it's nothing like what you're experiencing for football and basketball.

The hockey gameday experience is 10x better than anything at the Doyt or the Stroh. It's still not perfect ($10 to park at both the ice arena and well down the road at the fieldhouse is a little bit weird when the fieldhouse used to be $5), but it's a miles better product and experience for a fan. Also, the team is actually competitive! So that's a real plus.

Have to agree if you're going to spend your money on any BG athletic program, hockey is the way to go. Usually get a name program or two at home every year. Gameday festivities are actually above average. Atmosphere is the best on campus. I'll forever be flummoxed why the university doesn't commit more resources to it.

At the end of the day, it's about private dollars and media dollars. BG basketball is the exception, not the rule. Typically the sports with the biggest donors in a particular conference are the ones that have the most success, and the sports with the biggest media exposure/contracts get the most love from the university.

So what you're saying is it is actually hard to be as mediocre as BG hoops is while also spending like they do? I'm inclined to agree.

I also agree with the others that in my experience game days at the Ice Arena blow away the stroh/doyt experience.

Pray tell, where is this Hockey Mecca hidden gem, hidden away on the hallowed grounds of the University at Bowling Green where fans are treated as gods?

It really is like a mirage in the desert around here. Lol

[It's the Journey...]

And we are who we deep down knew we were. A bad team with a bad coach. There is talent but no one to hone it. There is no discipline on or off the field. There are no repercussions for acting like fools, so that is the status quo.

I will lose some with this, but I will take it to the grave. This is worse than Jinks. Mike was in over his head in many areas, but genuinely tried. I believe Loeffler was trying to use a sub par QB to get us just competitive enough to make the next jump. He may be a great guy, but he is not a great football coach.

I would have given him a pink slip before he entered the Sebo Center after the game last night. That's not true, I would have done that after the EKU game.

Mike Jinks had like ten players get arrested during the 2017 off-season. This is not worse than those times despite the on field results. The hyperbole on here after losses is always good for a chuckle.

Instead we have Brooks getting personal fouls during the Buffalo game for mouthing off to a ref right before halftime. A ref that he came from the bench up to the sideline to engage. I was sitting right behind our bench and saw/heard it. But there was no repercussions from the coaching staff, no early exit to the locker room to cool down before the half, no loss of playing time in the second half. That seems a lot like the incident last night. It's almost a pattern. We didn't have our QB for year 1, it wasn't his fault. COVID put us behind in year 2 (I won't mention what NIU did with a new coaching staff that year). Year 3 was behind because our QB couldn't play in year 1 and COVID. Year 4 we were supposed to compete but needed to wait on another waiver to make that happen. Now we hear our AB might be able to play another year..... Chuckle if you want, but when does it end?

I'm well aware of the issues going on with the current team. There's more going on behind the scenes that isn't being made public. Whether or not that factors into Scot's future remains to be seen.

It's disappointing for sure that there is a lack of accountability towards the players who chose to make stupid decisions the other night.

[Flipper]

I'm not going to assume that the team is focused and disciplined behind the scenes when they aren't on the field.
