I can verify this. When they played EMU they stayed at a hotel someone I know west of Detroit runs. Well anyways the AD came by to visit the hotel before the team came, and was absolutely crazy on what the team needed. Made them get special signs for each rooms, wanted to make sure "no public" were in the hallways between meeting rooms when they were in session as the team couldn't handle such attention and distraction. Then they had to have proper snacks and the guy even considered possibly having security at the hotel for the teamLaley23;1447452 wrote:Not a cameraman. Have direct contact with their AD who is a dick to us all the time. Lets us cover about 1 football game a year cause UT is the best program ever and ESPN will pick them up. That doesn't happen so he calls us back to cover them and is a dick again. We aren't allowed to cover games live cause people won't show up and will stay at home to watch (give me a break lol, live tv ain't why you have bad attendance).
Then I get to work a few games with ESPN when they did pick up some games. Bent over backwards for us. He is a total dick, sorry. Completely full of himself and the program thinking they are bigger than they are.

I suppose it depends on the hotel. My wedding weekend several guests and me stayed in the same hotel the Arizona basketball team was staying in. The 'Zona guys and Lute Olson acted like regular guests.karen lotz;1447643 wrote:Those kind of requests are probably pretty common.

I take it you took English 101 at BGSU or UT?Manhattan Buckeye;1447650 wrote:several guests and me stayed in the same hotel the Arizona basketball team was staying in.
They average @ 20K+ per home game. I'm not sure where that ranks in the MAC, but if I had to guess I'd say it's in the upper tier. As far as the major sports go, yes, it's mainly football and women's bball. Their mens bball is on the rise, but are still a year or two away from challenging for a MAC title.Pick6;1447472 wrote:Wasnt aware Toledo football had bad attendance. Well, it still might be bad, but I'd figure better than the majority of the MAC lol.
But on a side note...isnt Toledo football and girl's basketball about the only thing they are decent in?

Judging by the STD rep, I'd say you're right.ernest_t_bass;1447706 wrote:BGSU is a more fun party school, and probably has easier sluts. That has to go into the equation.
Since you are not majoring in engineering, sounds like a practical reason to me.Classyposter58;1448038 wrote:STD's or not what impresses me about BG is it's a much better community. UT is you go to class and go home, sure you can join clubs but it's not worth it when you have to drive 30 minutes to class daily. I like that I can live by college kids and do college things, something UT barely has. Really the bars around campus are lame, the surrounding neighborhoods suck west of campus and again living is really expensive around there for what you get
Sounds like you've got your mind made up. UT is a commuter college, BG is not. Move on.Classyposter58;1448038 wrote:STD's or not what impresses me about BG is it's a much better community.
