FalconBlog--Triumphs and Trials in the BGSU Falcon Nation

Senior Day Today

It is senior day for Matt Lefeld and Martin Samarco. Both deserve a good send off. Matt has never been a highly productive player, but he has serious foot problems and it is a testament to human courage and commitment that he plays at all. He is also nearly a 4-point student who has a very bright future ahead of him, and we should be proud to have had him as a Falcon.

Martin Samarco is, in my opinion, also a warrior. He has taken a bad rap from Falcon fans who don't think he is a team player or is too one-dimensional. I think he is a good offensive player, a smart player and a leader. Our TEAM is too one-dimensional and MAC defenses have locked onto him like glue. On a better team, Martin would be even better. He was brought in because somebody had to score the ball when Reimold and Almanson left, and he has done that. There was next to nothing around him.

Of course, in the back of everyone's mind is that this is, in all probability, the final game at AA for Dan Dakich. I believe he will get a nice ovation from appreciative fans--even those who favor a change.
