Bowling Green has their own page on scout.com with news and sports stories and links:

And they are served by 3 different message boards:

Here is the best one, and it's fairly active:

(they seem to follow Erik Crawford of Northern Iowa quite closely, as Crawford transferred from Bowling Green to UNI after his freshman season)

This forum is very inactive, and practically no basketball talk:

Here is another message board for BGSU, but it's totally inactive with no posts since October of 2000.

This needs to be a Bradley beatdown. After looking like seasoned veterans against DePaul, BU has somewhat reverted to the 13-15 team the last 2 outings. This is a home game, it's a Saturday night, and we're coming off a loss. BU needs to play like the senior-laden team that they are. I will be very disappointed if BU doesn't win by double-digits, and I will be very disappointed if BU gives up more than 65 points.

BU can restore some of my confidence in them with a sound defensive effort on Saturday. I see no reason why they shouldn't. It is early, these problems can be fixed. Now is the time to fix them.

It looks like Bowling Green is still without their leading returning scorer, Steven Wright as reported on the board almost 2 months ago --

They have struggled to score this year. They lost their 2 best players from last year (John Reimold and Josh Almanson), plus they most promising freshman, 7 footer Scott Vandermeer transferred. One of their players that has had to play a lot this season after hardly getting any time last season, is JuCo transfer Mawel Soler. He has an impressive 77% shooting percentage. He was recruited by Jim Les and Bradley, but chose BGSU.

Bowling Green also has a very quick guard, Perrick Robinson, from Chicago. He signed with them but had strong recruiting interest from ISU and SIU

Seems like the headlines should read -

'Quick Change' featuring Bradley Basketball

I have never seen so much pub for a halftime act!

[Da Coach]

The attendance always seems to go up for the games that feature Quickchange. It's the only halftime act that I think you could say that. I get several family members who want to go with me to see them!

[Roll with the Funches]

QuickChange is one of the few things that I can see in front of my eyes, but not figure out how the hell they do it!! But you can keep your QUickChange, I'll take the JEsse White tumblers any day of the week.
