Christopher didnt think too much about the message at the time. He and Bobinski had known each other from their time as athletic directors so Christopher figured it was just to talk shop. The shop talk lasted a few minutes when Bobinski got to the heart of his call. He said, Well, you know Im going to Georgia Tech. Would you have an interest in coming down here to Xavier? Christopher recalled on Tuesday. It took me about that long to say Yes, absolutely. I have lot of respect for Mike and the work thats been done by the team here at Xavier. This is great opportunity. Xavier introduced Christopher, 47, as its 11th athletic director Tuesday at the Cintas Center. He will officially begin his duties on May 6. Bobinskis tenure at Xavier ended March 22. Christopher has been the AD at BG since 2006.

This kid came into the Raycom game and showed the motor as he was blowing up the offensive lineman.  He amazed so many scouts that numerous scouts I talked to wanted to get a second look at the massive defensive tackle. From the Raycom Chris was invited to the Combine where he ran a 5.3 forty and showed that the big man can move.  He looked great in his drills and could have solidified himself as a draft pick. How many teams were recruiting you coming out of high school and how did you make your decision? There were four teams recruiting me.

The school confirmed on Thursday that first-year assistant coach Ali Mann resigned last week after it began to look into the relationship. Athletic department spokesman Jason Knavel says Bowling Green officials believe the relationship was consensual and that no NCAA rules were broken. Mann was a four-year starter at Bowling Green and was a captain on the Falcons' team that reached the final 16 in 2007. She still ranks second on the school's all-time scoring list. Before returning to coach at Bowling Green this season, Mann was an assistant at Colgate and IPFW in Indiana.

Merrill, who played in last Friday’s loss to the U.S. U-18 team, missed the first 19 games of the season with a cracked vertebra in his neck. He’ll be paired on the blue line, for the game against Bowling Green, with recent World Juniors gold medalist Jacob Trouba, TheWolverine.com’s Michael Spath reported: Merrill will appear in his first regular-season game all year after missing the Wolverines’ first 19 games after suffering a cracked vertebra in an exhibition contest Oct. 9. He skated on the power play during the Maize and Blue’s 5-3 exhibition loss to the U.S. Under-18 team last Friday, and will go full bore this evening. Merrill was taken No. 38 overall by the Devils during the 2010 NHL Entry Draft.

Bowling Green police Lt. Brad Biller said on Monday that, "I'm considering it to be an act of graffiti and vandalism. I don't consider this widespread problem in our community."Orr told/showed police the racist graffiti which read "white power" and a drawn swastika in chalk on the sidewalk.Police have ruled out that the graffiti is a threat towards Orr and his family, but are intimidating statements.

The Battle of I-75, the annual football game between the two Ohio schools, is one of the MAC’s fiercest rivalries. Bowling Green and Toledo first met in 1919, but the rivalry met an abrupt end in 1936 when fans rioted after Toledo routed the Falcons 63-0. The teams didn’t play again until 1948, when they introduced a Peace Pipe trophy to signify the end of ill will between the schools and their fan bases. Ironically, the Peace Pipe was stolen from the University of Toledo in 1969 and hasn’t been recovered. The schools introduced a new Peace Pipe Trophy in 1980. Bowling Green-Toledo isn’t as sexy as other Midwestern rivalries such as Ohio State-Michigan or Michigan-Notre Dame, but there are plenty of people in northwestern Ohio who take the rivalry very seriously. Take, for example, the people of Wheeler Farms in Whitehouse, Ohio, just south of Toledo. For its annual corn ma...
