No. 7: Why You Should Be At The Doyt Nov. 17
November 11, 2012 | Football
Leading up to BGSU's final game of the 2012 season in Doyt Perry Stadium, the Bowling Green Athletics Department is counting down the top 10 reasons why fans should attend the game. Bowling Green will host Kent State on Saturday, Nov. 17 at the Doyt with much on the line. Today, we introduce our No. 7 item.
No. 7 -- There's A Small Chance Kent State Runs The Wrong Way
Kent State comes into Saturday's game with a record of 9-1 and an impressive string of eight straight wins. Among a litany of highlights throughout Kent State's season came one play that probably won't make the team's end-of-season highlight video. As Kent State rolled past Towson 41-21 in the season opener, the Golden Flashes (as well as Towson) got a bit confused. As you can see in the play below, the Golden Flashes got a 58-yard fumble return -- the wrong direction.
No. 8 -- Come See The Monster Of The MAC
Bowling Green senior defensive tackle Chris Jones will play his final game in Doyt Perry Stadium against Kent State. Dubbed "The Monster of the MAC", Jones leads the country in quarterback sacks and is second in tackles for loss. Jones has created havoc for opposing offenses all year long and there's no better opportunity to watch him up close and personal than on Nov. 17.
Posted below is a highlight video of Chris Jones.
No. 9 -- Get Free Stuff!
BGSU Athletics will be giving away a FREE knit winter hat to the first 500 students at the game. Also, in Wednesday's edition of the BG News, there will be a voucher for a FREE lunch (hotdog, bag of chips, and soda) redeemable at the Doyt.
In honor of the free knit winter hat, we bring you a scene from Dumb and Dumber that will make you feel warm and fuzzy inside.
No. 10 -- Come Root For BGSU To Win Back The Anniversary Award
In 1985, the Bowling Green and Kent State alumni departments created the Anniversary Award, given each year to the winner of the Bowling Green/Kent State football game. The two Universities are tied together as they were both founded in 1910 and the award began for the 75th anniversary of the institutions. Bowling Green is 20-6 against Kent State since the award was founded but the Golden Flashes have won each of the last two games and the Falcons would like to bring the award back home.
In honor of the Anniversary Award being founded in 1985, we bring you the music video to the Billboard No. 1 song from that year -- Careless Whisper by Wham!
