Someone cooked up the idea to bike the game ball from Kent to Bowling Green. People from the Bike Club and some of the fraternities volunteered to take the ball half way, to Greenwich, where we'd meet up with BGSU bikers, who'd take it the rest of the way. The crazy part was, when they did the math as to how long it would take, they figured we'd need to leave Kent at 10pm. So we rode through the night. We didn't quite make it half way in time, so they picked us up before we got to the meeting point, but I think most of us did at least 60 miles out of the 75 miles we planned.

So anyway, my first KSU Athletic event was the 1985 26-14 loss at Bowling Green, in Dick Scesniak's last season

I was part of the group on the Bowling Green side. Worked up the idea with someone in your Residence Hall association. When I think back to how we did that, its a surprise no one got injured (or worse).

The Bowling Green side at least had daylight, and much flatter roads. It was cool, seeing the darkness lift and the sun rise in the morning.
