Head Coach Dave Clawson said the program is excited to finally play a football game, whether it's against a nationally-ranked team or not. There are nerves going into the game, but they are no different than any other game-day jitters, Clawson said. "Football is really a work and reward sport," Clawson said. "Our guys work year-round for 12 guar- anteed opportunities to play a game and 1 think, whether we're home or in the swamp, no matter where we play I think there would be those nerves."

6UZ4BETH JELSOMINE DEB NIWS CAFE HAVANA, a new hookah bat and cafe downtown, opened Thursday and offers a place to relax, said Owner Issah Baiz. Hookah bar opens downtown
By Bridget Mandyuk Reporter
Issah Baiz, owner of Falcon Food Mart, plans to bring variety to downtown Bowling Green by opening a multicultural cafe and hookah bar, Cafe Havana. The cafe, which opened Thursday, will have everything from espressos to hookah. Located at 309 South Main St. in the same plaza as Falcon Food Mart, it will have Middle Eastern, South American, Greek and Italian dishes. There will also be various pastries, hot and cold drinks and a wide variety of different flavors of hookah. "I've always wanted to open up something relaxing like this," Baiz said. Local Bowling Green artists and University art students decorated the cafe with murals. Baiz hopes to get into contact with live entertainment and bands to host music nights, as well as art gal- lery events in the future. "We put in a lot of work," said junior Justin Baker, who helped set up the cafe Wednesday night. The main agenda, according to Baiz, is to bring something new to downtown by combining different cultures together. The caft is open late and will provide free wireless internet. The heated back patio is for those who want to smoke shisha, or hookah. Students at the University have agreed Cafe Havana will provide something new to town, unlike other businesses. "I'm glad BG has finally added something to downtown besides the bars," said leff Stevenson, senior. Katelyn Murtha, senior, adds that "it'll add variety to the bar scene in BG." Many agree it will give an alternative hangout spot to those who don't go out to the bars or are look- ing for a new place to study. While some people are enthusiastic about a hookah bar and cafe in BG, others disagree. It sounds like a solid idea, but I'm just not into hookah that much," said Zach Porach, sophomore. Baiz is working with the University to attract more students to the cafe by creating colorful fliers and social networking profiles to provide updates on business such as coupons and specials. Richard Edwards, Mayor of Bowling Green, will be attending the grand opening sometime in September. Cafe Havana will be open Aug. 30 at 5:00 p.m. and will have regular business hours Monday-Saturday 7:00 a.m. -3:00 a.m. and 10:00 a.m. -1:00 a.m. on Sundays.
