THE MAP SAYS GREEN, THE JERSEY SAYS SCARLET, AND THE MATH ISN'T MATHING 🧭🚩

Listen, I'm a simple man. I see the name "Bowling Green," I expect green. Maybe some forest green, maybe some lime, I'd even settle for a questionable chartreuse. Maybe even some bowling pins on the jersey for good measure. But then I look at tonight's opponent and I'm seeing... scarlet and gray?

Look, I'll give them the name. They live in Bowling Green. Fine. Geography wins this round. You're in a city named after a color, so naturally, you'd think the school colors would be… well, green.

But no.

In a move that can only be described as "Ohio Sports Mad Libs," the Bobcats have created a brand that is a literal scavenger hunt of Ohio college athletics. Let's look at the evidence:

The Name: Bowling Green (they live there, fair enough)

The Colors: Scarlet and Gray (stolen directly from the Buckeyes)

The Mascot: The Bobcat (borrowed from Ohio University)

The Vibe: Is it red? Is it rust? Is it a cry for help? Unclear.

They've essentially raided the "Lost & Found" of every major university in the state and decided to wear it all at once. It's like they went to a sporting goods store, found the "Discontinued/Misc" bin, and just said, "Yes." If we hear the Miami University fight song coming from their locker room, I'm calling a wellness check on the mascot.

Are they Bobcats? Are they Falcons? Are they Buckeyes in disguise? Who knows. They're like that one friend who changes their entire personality depending on who they're hanging with. You know THAT guy!

Basically, playing Bowling Green is like opening a box of Thin Mints and finding pizza rolls inside. It's not necessarily bad, it's just… why are we here? Who authorized this?

FEATURED MUSTANG: DOMINIC SILVESTRI

While the Bobcats are busy trying to decide which university's identity they're going to borrow for the second period, we're keeping it simple with our Junior workhorse, Dominic Silvestri.

Dominic is the original "No Quit" Mustang. While the Bobcats are busy trying to remember if they should be singing "Hang on Sloopy" or "Stand Up and Cheer," Dominic will be busy being in four places at once.

He's got that Roy Kent energy (minus the growling… mostly). He's here, he's there, he's everywhere, and he's currently intercepting a pass while the Bowling Green defense is still trying to figure out why their jerseys don't match their GPS coordinates.

Dominic doesn't care about the branding confusion. He just cares about the "W."
