I'd love nothing more than for my preview to just consist of this rap video, embedded 100 times in succession: Because that's going to be the theme of the season. Usually the question is: can they reach the NCAA tournament for the first time since 1968? At this point that's a condition of excellence that I'm not really looking to see from the team. To do that, BGSU must win the Mid-American Conference and they're not ready to do that yet. Not with Kent State, Akron, OHIO, and Western Michigan clogging up the top-tier. To get there they'd need a week of pure adrenaline and luck, or doing his best Armon Bassett impersonation.
Dee Brown - Career stats, game logs, biographical info, awards, and achievements for the NBA and NCAA. Oh, fiddle dee dee! Brown patty, brown patty, what do you see? 9 I see purple onion s sprinkled on me! Onions are as smelly as smelly can be! Microsoft Word.
Not to say that it can't happen; but it's not what's going to define this season as a good one. The story has quickly become the influx of funds being donated by loyal Bowling Green fans. Not mentioned in the video was Bill Frack's additional $10 million donation/inheritance to the BGSU basketball program. It might be state-of-the-art. It might have new paint and a great sound system. But is it going to be intimidating to opposing fans?
Here's a picture from when BGSU upset No. 5 Michigan State — a feat no doubt accomplished by the intimidating scenery: via Here's what made this venue so hard to play in as an opponent: the students are right in your grill. There were no bars or separators between the students and the sideline. And those undergrads sat from corner to corner.
For once, you hoped to inbound the ball on the baseline. Y'know, to give yourself some space.
For this and other reasons, it's why then-MSU coach Jud Heathcote 'I think you've just seen the last time you'll ever see a Michigan State team in a MAC gymnasium.' (Michigan State will play at Bowling Green next year.) When Kent State escaped with a victory at BG last year — their last time in Anderson — Geno Ford (who also went 1-4 there as an OHIO guard): ' I’m glad they are closing this thing. I’ll even volunteer to come back over here and drive the wrecking ball.' They're not tearing it down, but you can imagine the glimmer in his eye when he thought they were. The new digs: via Well, there will be sideline chairs, but they won't be those of the crazed BGSU fans.
They'll be mild-mannered people willing to spend some extra cash for the seats. The student section will be behind the hoop, as is commonplace now. Now they can distract the free throws in lieu of a giant wall. BGSU's first game is going to be against Howard, a weak team that actually beat them to start last year.
