Ohio 44 Bowling Green 37

College Football
Home Team:
Bowling Green Falcons
Visiting Team: Ohio Bobcats
Venue: Doyt Perry Stadium
Game Time: 7:00 p.m.
Fellow Attendees: Brandi

This is the game that the Falcons probably should have won. Committing penalties at inopportune moments (not that there's really an opportune moment for a penalty), dropping passes in the endzone, and settling for field goals instead of touchdowns are not ingredients in the recipe for success. And yet, with all of that, BG was in this game until the end, and very nearly put a TD on the board that would have sent it to overtime. Even with the mistakes, this was a fun, entertaining game to watch.

Besides that, as much as I live and die with BGSU athletics, on this day it was just great to be back in Bowling Green. It was Homecoming, so Brandi and I went up and made a weekend out of it. Aside from the game, we also ate at some of our old haunts and had drinks at some of our favorite watering holes. I don't really miss living in the city of Bowling Green on a day-to-day basis, but I do miss being so close to the university's campus, and it's always nice to get back and spend some time.
