BG-Huntington Mayoral Challenge Issued by John Quinn
September 14, 2010 | Football
BG-Huntington Mayoral Challenge Issued by John Quinn When the BGSU football team plays host to Marshall on Saturday, September 18 in their 2010 home opener, there will be more than just a non-conference victory on the line.
Courtesy of Bowling Green Mayor John Quinn's latest “Mayoral Challenge,” the Falcons and Thundering Herd will also be playing for the pride of their respective cities. In the spirit of friendly competition, Mayor Quinn decided to call on Mayor Kim Wolfe of Huntington, West Virginia (where Marshall University is located) to issue a challenge.
The challenge consists of a “friendly wager” hinging on the outcome of the game. If the Falcons emerge victorious, Mayor Wolfe will have to display a Bowling Green flag at Huntington's City Hall for the duration of the week following the game. If Marshall leaves BGSU with a win, Mayor Quinn will fly a Marshall flag at Bowling Green's City Hall for the following week.
The “losing Mayor” will also send evidence to the other in the form of a photo featuring them with the flag displayed appropriately.
The BGSU-Marshall game on September 18 also marks the 2010 home opener for the Falcons. Kickoff is set for 7:00pm at Doyt Perry Stadium.
Festivities include:
• Falcon Fest Pre-Game Tailgate Tent, Presented by The Toledo Blade and Toledo Tent & Party Rentals (open 3:00pm-Kickoff)
