I can only hope we do get to Anaheim in '99. Aside from having a lot of friends and family out there, L.A. and the southern CA area is the second biggest base of BGSU alumni in the U.S. outside of Ohio. We have nearly 10,000 people out there, and the slight majority of them graduated in the last 15 years. They remember BG hockey. If the Falcons could get there, some of our most motivated alumni chapters would be waiting! BG draws better on the west coast than any of it's Mid-American Conference counterparts. Although there weren't many at the BGSU-Western Mich. game in Las Vegas last year, it also was not in our alums back yard out there. It's always been hard for me to figure how it is so many of our alums wind up in Florida and LA after they graduate. My own mom went out west after she got out of BG. But why fight it! Whatever the case, if Disney has anything at all to do with the event, than you can count on a big crowd. Disney could fill a football stadium in the middle the artic circle. Maybe they have another Mighty Ducks movie coming out in '99? If Disney markets this (if they have anything to do with it, and if they don't they should) it could boost the sports popularity in that area. It could be the seed needed to get the game into that area. Wishful thinking I am sure, but who knows. Nathan W.L.
