Noiseless Crowd
ysufan0505:
Happy with the crowd size, but not the crowd noise. No noise on 3rd downs, didn't get into it until the end of the game. But hey, like valley said, beggars can't be choosers.
YSU1:
Look around you at the games. Our crowd has a good number of elderly folks. I am knocking on the door of being old but I am not there yet. The older folks are not that vocal and are just happy to find their seats. They do support the Penguins and have for years so we cannot fault them for that. I thought the crowd was good and many stayed until the end. They were pretty vocal at the end with some of those calls.

Agreed. I would tend to think the majority of the core fan base is older, but when we have as big of crowd as Saturday, I would expect it to be louder than it was. I was glad to see a great turnout, but confused by how many left at half, 3Q and 4Q. I hope that the excitement of the Illinois State game, along with the quality of both teams this weekend, leads to a great crowd and a better outcome.

Since I am one of those "Old Fans" who was a Freshman in Youngstown University in mid 1960s, i can tell you that there is no way I can still make a lot of noise continually through the entire game.
Most people around were are all season ticket holders. Many of them would leave by half time or end of 3Q regardless of the score as if they were there just to show some support or to meet required obligations.
They rarely show up for "bad matched up (RMU, SFU...) games or "bad weather" games or with "bad YSU win/lost record".
I am afraid that since we lost the last game, the next game might not match the attendance of last weekend.

But why shouldn't the attendance be the same or more for the homecoming game? I understand we lost and I myself was very upset after the game. However, after some perspective we are a good team that made tons of mistakes and still almost won. Last year we lost by two touchdowns. In years past a top 4 opponent at home would have been a beating . Hell, we were losing to teams before that were awful and we were supposed to win and a playoff berth was on the line example Indiana State last year, South Dakota State two years ago. I could go on and on. If you listened to the coaches show tonight on 570 wkbn Bo said that he hopes he gets to see Illinois State again. Guy has been coaching football a long time. He wouldn't say that if he didn't think he knew his team could beat them. We can and will play with with anyone in the country because we have a strong defense, something we haven't had since 06 when we lost App State in the semifinal.
