ESPN GAME DAY
YSU1:
Saturday ESPN game day will be at James Madison. They have been at North Dakota STATE. Does anyone think that some day they will come to Youngstown. (if we can return to our glory days)
JP21:
Never, because people in this community do not support anything. We can't fill up a 20,000 seat stadium, what makes you think people will show up in droves for College Game Day? Please spare me the we don't win argument. You either support your college and team or you don't. Sadly people here just don't.
Penguin Nation:
They almost did in 2013 for the NDSU @ YSU game, but cancelled after we lost to UNI the week before. Someone from the show tweeted something about YSU would've been chosen if YSU beat UNI.

With BP and JT (and others), a legendary history, YSU would make compelling hosts.....but they're not going to visit a struggling FCS team.

Does everyone here have a small penis ?
The inferiority complex is suffocating here. Hell, you couldn't fill up a 20K stadium when we had the greatness here week after week. Doing it once isn't doing it week after week. Fielding winning teams won't just get you an ESPN exposure.
This is the same logic used to argue for a spot in the MAC. You don't get 15K, minimum for NCAA D-I attendance. You beat losers like Kent or Akron and think you belong when in fact, you could not compete well week top week with the rest of the good MAC teams. As an FCS team, YSU is just a has been now.
Why would ESPN want to be here ? Check out the drunks in tailgate lots ? See empty seats ? Listen as "fans" make fun of the aging fan base and whine about lack of noise ? Looking for more hype on an average team ? Maybe if Bo blows his stack and shows lack of anger management they'll show up !! ;D

One rumor about Bo when he was at Nebraska..... When the Big 10 was doing one of their "days" on the ESPN campus, and all the coaches were there, Bo allegedly got into a heated conversation with some of the "personalities" about some things said about him. One of the most heated exchanges was between Rece Davis and Bo. Now that he is the anchor on Gameday, I bet he wouldn't vote to go see Bo again.
FWIW.....
