Sooner Fans: Letter to the Editor (Toledo Blade)

Post by transfer2BGSU »

Oklahoma in a league of its own

We have followed the BGSU Falcons for many years, including football games at Ohio State, Michigan, and Purdue. We have never experienced the kind of respect, kindness, generosity, and good sportsmanship in those places like we did on our recent trip to Oklahoma.

What we experienced was unbelievable, and it came from people everywhere - hotels, restaurants, airport, and at the stadium. The entire community epitomized the true meaning of friendly competition and sportsmanship.

Hopefully, the Mid-American Conference and the Big 10 can strive to treat opposing schools and their fans in a similar manner.

Y'all come back as soon as you can. We admire fans who come such a long way to support their team. We also love quality competition and the Falcons brought it.

You all realize that these are the brothers of former UT Rocket Basketball player Tim Selgo don't you?

And they are BG Falcon Fans?!?!?? :shock: Wow, I am impressed!!!! Does that mean that Tim was the black sheep of the family for going up north? :lol:
"Regarding BGSU, I would think their biggest strength is that they never give up, They never slow down and they battle hard even after the other team scores. We have to be on our game and never, ever take the foot off the gas for a second."

"BG was relentless. It's like they know that a good first pass on the breakout from a defenseman will almost always result in an odd-man rush against them - but they go in anyway and dare you to make that pass. All three of their goals were just grit and effort. That's a team any fan can be proud to support...they give all they've got."
