Congrats to him...I took 5.5 years to get my degree and I didn't play a D1 sport. Unless you count waiting tables and harassing my female coworkers a sport
It's not the fall that hurts...it's when you hit the ground.

The football program is heading to Canton!

On Saturday, August 17, there is an open BG football practice at Tom Benson Hall of Fame Stadium in Canton. Pregame festivities start at 11:30, and then practice is from 12:30-2:30. Seems like a pretty cool event, for the guys to get to play on that field and for fans to get to see the team in a new venue. Extra special for fans in Northeast Ohio.

Been away from this forum during much of the offseason. Just reading about the new uniforms. About time we get some orange jerseys back. I understand from what's published that we will have orange, white and brown jerseys and orange and white helmets. I didn't see any mention of what pants we'll have. Anyone know if all 3 colors will be in the lineup?

Just saw photos but it looked like a nice little event.

Also I know this is an absolute pipe dream but I think that stadium is exactly what BG should aspire to have. It’s beautiful and loud and looks like a great size but is actually only 23,000 seats. We just need someone to give us about $250 million to build it 😂
