The Marathon of Hate: Behind the Bowling Green-Toledo Rivalry
Listen now
Description
On Wednesday, November 4, the Bowling Green – Toledo rivalry will be renewed with its 85th football game. To celebrate this I will run from Doyt Perry Stadium, the home of the BG Falcons, to the Glass Bowl, the home of the UT Rockets. The course is 26.2 miles and the run will be known as The Marathon Of Hate. If you’re a runner you won’t ask why I’m running 26.2 miles. You know there isn’t any particularly good reason other than that I want to. But why am I so invested in this rivalry? Now that’s a much better question. For this episode of the podcast, I got together with my friend Sean Pennywitt to discuss our own history with the rivalry. He went to Toledo and I went to Bowling Green. ✩ Follow CITIUS MAG: twitter.com/CitiusMag | instagram.com/citiusmag | facebook.com/citiusmag ✩ Connect with Jesse and the show via Email: [email protected] | twitter.com/tracksuperfan
