Freddie and Frieda Falcon, the costumed mascots, keep energy high throughout the game with crowd interactions and sideline antics.

In-Game Moments
After every Falcon touchdown, the student section erupts with the "Ay Ziggy Zoomba" fight song, a quirky chant that's been a BGSU staple since the 1940s.
