A Message From The Interim President During Alcohol Awareness Week, it is important for all of us to reflect upon the uses of alcohol in our community. While you should have fun and enjoy your college years, having a good time should be tied to more than drinking.

There's no panic mode. It's not a case of denial on the part of coaches and players, but more of a hope that things will return to the way they were in 2007, when they won four games in a row to claim a share of the MAC East and earn a vl bid. Nobody wants to think they're out of it until they mathematically are, which is understandable. Currently, there are five games left to play this season. And if BG doesn't start this cru- cial stretch with a win in Dekalb tomorrow, its chances of having a repeat of last season's success are pretty much over. Last year, Miami and Buffalo won five conference games and didn't get bowl bids. They went 5-2 and 5-3, respectively. While Miami did receive a co-MAC East title, that's all they got. Two teams with records above .500 in the MAC watched bowl sea- son unfold at home. That's what makes BG's situ- ation tomorrow a must-win. As bad as the East has been col- lectively this year, a 1-3 record in conference play will be a lot for the Falcons to overcome, especially with Buffalo, Ohio and Toledo left on the sched- ule.
