BOWLING GREEN — It may only count in horseshoes and hand grenades — and for seven points in Scrabble — but what if close today means a cigar tomorrow?
Hard not to wonder with Bowling Green football.
In a notable paradox, the Mid-American Conference team that’s displayed the most consistency through the first month is the one with a losing record.
Consider: All last season, just eight power-conference teams either beat or played at least two ranked opponents within a touchdown.
Little old Bowling Green (1-2) just did it twice in a row, declining to follow the house rules — cash check, lose by 50, sign the guestbook — at two of the nation’s largest and loudest stadiums.
