Spring Break
Sports - scratch that, the world in general - seems geared toward the needs of the individual, making it refreshing when anyone, let alone a star player, puts a team's goals ahead of his or her own. Junior running back Eugene Jarvis accepts that responsibility without a second thought. (0) comments
Whenever a member of the coaching staff talks about senior Jameson Konz switching from linebacker to tight end, they use the term "experiment," implying two possible outcomes: a bold new discovery or a failure that blows up the lab. Luckily for the Flashes and their fans, the athletic former linebacker looks just as comfortable on offense as he did in his three previous seasons of defense. (1) comment
When asked to describe Mid-American Conference football, one word came to mind for Kent State coach Doug Martin: "Parity." Last year, Kent State was highly regarded as a favorite to win the MAC East and play in the conference championship game. However, after a series of injuries that led to four different starting quarterbacks and a 3-9 regular season record for the Flashes, Martin and his staff learned how unpredictable the conference can be.

Bowling Green The Falcons had the most surprising year in the Mid-American Conference in 2007, and 2008 should be even better. While quarterback Tyler Sheehan will be the offensive focus, the Falcons have a three-headed running attack led by junior Chris Bullock, who rushed for 769 yards last season, 99 against Kent State.

Bowling Green The Falcons look to add to their trophy case with back-to-back MAC East titles (2007 East co-champions), with a defense that brings back eight starters. With All-MAC defensive lineman Diyral Briggs, BG will look to top the 15 sacks and 10 interceptions that the veterans had a year ago; three of those sacks came against Kent State. (0) comments
The spread offense. Bands. College football is so much better than the National Football League for all these reasons and more. Watching the first episodes of "College Football Live" and "College Gameday" reminded me of everything I love about being alive - Saturday afternoons. (0) comments
Bowling Green Sixth-year coach Gregg Brandon may have silenced some critics last season with a high profile offense led by Sheehan. The senior led the offense with 27 touchdown passes and he looks to follow in the footsteps of former BG quarterbacks Josh Harris and Omar Jacobs. (0) comments
Bowling Green 8-5 in 2007, 17 returning starters. Randy and Drew agree the Falcons will be the outright MAC East champions, while Brock is looking down the I-75 highway. Regardless, BG should have one of the most dynamic offenses in the conference and a defense that isn't a slouch. (0) comments
