BGSU Transfer Portal 2021

The transfer portal has changed college football forever. Especially with the NCAA likely doing away with the 1 year of eligibility loss, and the COVID year not counting, a record number of kids are in the portal. The transfer portal allows kids to enter their info and be recruited by all teams, instead of sending info to schools one by one. Once a student enters the portal, they can choose to return to their school but their school can also take them off of scholarship. So far for BG, Diata Burns and LaBronz Davis have come back to the Orange and Brown from the Transfer Portal. 



I will put their new destination at the end, also important to note that only Shon Strickland was recruit by Scot Loeffler. The rest of these kids were brought in by a whole other coaching staff. There are many reasons a kid might transfer but the main are

  • Wanting more playing time
  • Moving closer to home
  • Want to win games
  • Coaching staff changes 

BG has not been winning much which is a reason to leave. Also as I mention, past coaches may have believed in a kid but now he realizes he will never really play much. Let's hope some of these kids come back as they will always be Falcons.

Transfer Portal 2024

  Transfer Portal 2024     The transfer portal in my opinion is fun, good for players, and actually helps a school like Bowling Green.      The portal also has so many opportunities for different players. You have studs from the G5 move up to the SEC, P5 backups dropping down to start at G5 schools. You have FCS starters jumping up to FBS, also FCS backups who would rather be a backup at a FBS school. Many casual fans do not realize how valuable depth guys are and scout team players truly make big differences in practice. Even G5 guys would rather be a backup at an SEC school. So in my mind, the portal is a plus value.      This list may not be 100% accurate but is updated to the best of my knowledge. I am going to give my opinions on each player, not meaning any disrespect but just an honest assessment of each player's impact in my opinion. Best of luck to all the guys leaving, and a big welcome to all the new Falcons joining! Incoming Transfers Breakdown: Total: 18 Position RB: 1

State of the Program 12/4/23

Bowling Green Clinches First Winning Record Since 2015!! (photo via BG Athletics)     Scot Loeffler said it weeks ago, this team has a chance to do something special. I would say beating a Power 5 team on the road, going 5-3 in the MAC and blowing some teams out qualifies as special. Think back to just a few years ago. Mike Jinks' BG team was going 2-10, players getting arrested, zero culture, zero love for the school and the traditions. Now Coach Loeffler in another seemingly do or die season has showed up, showed out, and needs a contract extension ASAP. Now that I am no longer traveling, let's cover a few recent football topics.  1. 4 Game Winning Streak     For the first time since 2015, Bowling Green football won 4 games in a row. Buffalo beat us last year, Akron has had our number recently under Tom Arth, Ball State is still coached by MAC Champions Mike Nue and had 22 seniors, and Kent was 5-0 in their last 5 against us. Coach Loeffler finally toppled the Flashes and it

The MAC says Goodbye to Divisions, Hello to Pods

The MAC says Goodbye to Divisions, Hello to Pods     Okay, I am coming around to the pod formatting. My first thought was hey, this is super dumb. Why are we changing the format that between 2015-2021 never had a single team win the MAC Championship twice? The unmatched parity is the best thing about the MAC. Let's take a look at the pros and cons. Pros: 1. The MAC Championship is elevated. I am hoping this does not come at the cost of the beloved parity in the league, but the Championship game will be better. There have been years, most recently in 2022 where even though Toledo won, they were the 4th best team overall in the standings behind Ohio, Buffalo, and BGSU. So in theory if there is a year where instead of a 10-2 and 7-5 team facing off, there could be the 10-2 team and a 9-3 team who's only MAC lost was to the 10 win team in their division.  2. Teams will play more often. The current structure has seen BG play a team like Ball State or Eastern Michigan just twice in a
