The History Of The Battle of I-75

Tuesday, November 17. Doyt L. Perry Stadium, Bowling Green, Ohio.

36th Annual Battle of the I-75.

Past, future and current Falcons and Rockets are born with this rivalry and it thrives in all of us. It is said to have dated back to 1919 when these two schools began to play each other.

The Peace Pipe Trophy was the first the award passed back and forth to each team who had one the game. This pipe was said to be smoked by the teams during halftime yet this tradition ended in 1969 when the pipe was stolen and never found.

1980 brought about a new trophy that resembled an American Indian as well as the Peace Pipe and both school's logos. This trophy was finished being passed around in 2010 because of conversations with members of the Native American community.

2011 started the current, "Battle of I-75", that is coming up in the next weeks.

Who will receive the trophy this year?


According to Wikipedia , since 1980 the University of Toledo has won 20 games with BGSU coming up short with only 15 victories.

Both teams have done very well this 2015 season with BGSU leading the MAC Conference East 5-0 while UT is 4-1 in the MAC.

Not being biased, but I think it's time for the Falcons to take the win at the Doyt. That's right. We see your 2,000 shares on your article why " UT is Better Than BGSU " , but you should check out our 3,300 shares on why "BGSU is Better Than UT".

Now, the winner of the game doesn't determine who the better school is. However, we all know Bowling Green State University will always be superior to the University of Toledo. It's just a fact, sorry!

See you November 17th. Game on, Rockets.

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
