Bison fan here, needed to stop over and say hi. YSU is one of my favorite games of the year. YSU always makes me nervous. I'd love to make it back to Youngstown. One of the most "interesting" experiences of my life happened there. At any rate, have fun at the game everyone!

Haha, here goes: In 2005 I was driving from Fargo to D.C. and was looking for a place to stay for the night. After passing through Cleveland and thinking I would get knifed after I witnessed someone jacking a CD player in a parking garage, I saw an exit for Youngstown. I thought, "hey YSU has a good school and football program, I bet this is a good place."
So, I took the Youngstown exit and headed for downtown. I couldn't find a hotel anywhere. Well, I just start driving around and wind up in some very dark residential neighborhoods that look abandoned. Now, bear in mind, this was my first trip off the plains and I had a lot to learn about life.
As I am driving around I notice some car is following me. Now I'm starting to get nervous because it's just my cousin and me in a strange city far from home. Well we get to a stoplight and the guy pulls up next to us and rolls down his window. His first question: "Hey you guys want any pills?" - No thanks! "How about some weed?" - No, we're good! "Ok, then how about some p*ussy?" This got our attention. We wanted to know more. -What do you have? We ask.
Dude turns on his dome light to reveal a blonde, brunette and a red head. We couldn't believe it. We did regretfully turn down the offer and decided maybe we weren't ready for Youngstown. We saw a cop parked at a gas station so thought we would fuel up there. Imagine our surprise when he was taking bong hits with a couple of kids in front of his car.
So that is my Youngstown story. I am not a fan of posting on other fans' boards, but this experience left me with a soft spot for your city. This is my one and only time I have been there. I can't wait to go back. You can also understand why YSU concerns me every game, as I now associate that city with missed opportunities.
