Discuss here. I have another post coming about Bowling Green that I found fascinating.
 
This was posted by user on Vol Nation. Cool story about Bowling Green's Fight Song:

What to me and probably lots of other fans, Vols or otherwise, is BGSU's strange fight song. It has an interesting origin. First some BGSU history.

SICSIC was created Oct. 5, 1946, at 12:45 a.m. Seated in the darkened room of BGSU President Frank Prout's office, six young men (Richard Oliver Harig, Erwin Potts, Gilbert Fox, Earl Mott, Max Hofmeisier and James Limbacher) anxiously waited to hear why they had been called to the president's office at such a late hour. Each one had received a secret letter earlier that day telling him to meet in the president's office at 12:45 a.m. and to destroy the letter as soon as he had read and memorized it. The letter bewildered the boys and piqued their curiosity. President Prout Harig, a senior Sigma Alpha Epsilon member; and Reverend James Stoner, the campus minister, had met earlier in the year to discuss the need for more school spirit and had decided that a secret spirit organization was the solution. Prout went through the yearbook and handpicked the six men who would become the original "secret six." They had decided the new spirit organization would consist of two sophomores, two juniors and two seniors. All six young men agreed to join the group and felt honored to have been chosen for the position. The group knew that they must have a unique and original name in order for their organization to stand out, and SICSIC was created. The meaning of the name remains a secret, with only members knowing what it stands for.

The Fight Song

Brought to Bowling Green over half a century ago by original SICSIC member and World War II veteran Gilbert Fox, "Ay Ziggy Zoomba" is BGSU's unofficial fight song. In 1946, Fox, an Army Air Corps bombardier who served in Italy, brought his interpretation based upon a Zulu war chant back to the University.

I had that in my initial post but deleted it when I correct.

I won't like, I just wanted to post about Bowling Green's fight song but I thought about just doing a full gameday thread instead of a thread about the BGSU fight song.
 
Should be a bloodbath. If Tennessee doesn't have their 3rd string QB in by the 4th, there are problems.

Fixed.
 
Bowling Green gave up 45 points a game last year. Good opponent to get his system going with his new guys.
 
BG going to have a rough year this year. This should be over quick
 
Who is the Tennessee Quarterback?
Josh is a QB Whisperer.
 
BGSU might be the worst FBS team this year.
