  • Like many MAC schools, Bowling Green started as a school specializing in teacher training and was referred to as a "Normal" university.

(sounds like a movie)  BG teams kept that nickname until 1927 when distinguished graduate (yes, BG has some of those) Ivan "Doc" Lake suggested the school change the mascot to the falcon because the falcon was a fierce fighter with speed and courage.
