Falcons washed away after dispiriting collapse

BOWLING GREEN — When it rains for the Bowling Green football team, it hurricanes.

Is there a better metaphor for the hard-luck state of affairs here than the remnants of a tropical storm dumping on its big day?

The Falcons were the guy who slips on a banana peel and loses his winning Powerball ticket in a 45-14 loss to Maryland on Saturday night at Doyt Perry Stadium.

This was supposed to be a big-stage showcase, a chance for a show-me community to come out and see and — just maybe — believe again.
