Bowling Green University is in Northern Ohio. It's not anywhere near Bowling Green, Kentucky.

Which is in the southern part of the state.

We really shouldn't be using BGSU falcons football team to make fun of someone that isn't being truthful.

Just my opinion.

Of course Conway was referencing something that happened in KY.

Doesn't make the jokes any less funny.

If it's not the Bowling Green in lower Manhattan, then WHAT AM I DOING HERE? I thought there'd be a commemorative concert! I heard CSN was going to play!

But I had no context, I was thinking it was some sort of historical event along the lines of Gangs of New York.
