MAC school trolls B1G

Bowling Green deserves credit.

The Falcons beat Purdue on Saturday, giving them their second win of the year against the B1G. If you recall, Bowling Green trounced Maryland 48-27 in Week 2.

In case you forgot either of those scores, you can get a T-shirt at the Bowling Green book stores to remind you.

Bowling Green has had recent success against the B1G. Last year’s group beat four-win Indiana team at home.

What the shirt doesn’t include is the 68-17 drubbing it was served by Wisconsin when it made the trip to Madison. It also fails to mention that Indiana rolled the Falcons 42-10 in 2013. There’s also the 65-21 loss to Michigan they suffered in 2010.

So while Bowling Green is correct in making a big deal about its recent success against the basement B1G teams, it’s also forgetting its history against non-bottom feeder teams in the conference.
