BOWLING GREEN, Ohio – The weekly Falcons Nest Coaches Show presented by Fricker's, returns in-person Monday night (Jan. 26) on Falcon Sports Radio Network stations. The show will begin at 6 p.m. with assistant hockey coach Matt Nicholoson joining the Voice of the Falcons, Todd Walker. The program will transition at 6:30 p.m. to men's basketball associate head coach Lourawls "Tum" Nairn Jr. joining Walker with both interviews taking place in-person at the Bowling Green Fricker's.
This year's show will be hosted in a special room at Fricker's with a maximum capacity of 55. Seating will be available on a first-come, first-served basis. To ensure an enjoyable and timely experience for all fans, there will not be autograph opportunities — but this creates a more interactive, conversational atmosphere to connect with BGSU coaches and fans.

For fans unable to make the show in person at Fricker's, the show can be heard locally on WFRO 99.1 FM, 100.7 FM in Toledo, 1280 WONW in Defiance and 970 WFUN in Ashtabula.

BGSU will head to South Bend on Friday (Jan. 30) before returning home to Slater Family Ice Arena on Saturday (Jan. 31) for a 6:07 p.m. puck drop.
The men's basketball team is coming off the Battle of I-75 that came down to the final possession for the second straight meeting. The Falcons now turn their attention to a home game Tuesday night (Jan. 27). BGSU will host Buffalo for a 7 p.m. tip in a game that will be Coaches vs. Cancer as well as Medical Professionals Night.
