YSU/MVFC Preseason Rankings
ytownchief22:
Time to make the playoffs and get some national exposure. That has all faded away. The younger generation does not even remember the penguin teams of the 90's.
YSU1:
Neither do I and I went to every championship game. No playoffs=no fans=no interest. Makes recruiting tough.
IAA Fan:
Guys ...winning and it's exposure is obvious. My comments are on the art/science of recruiting and scheduling to benefit your team. Scheduling (not post-season) loses against power-FCS schools will chase away more fans/recruits faster than you can count. We thought (and many still think) that we could have played well or beaten OSU back in the 90's. The only thing that kept that feeling alive was NOT playing the Buckeyes.

1-AA I hate to say this, but you are starting to sound like a civilized Paladin. "The art/science of recruiting”? C'mon man, recruiting is 2 things. Having a staff that recognizes talent that will help your program and a coach that can sell a kid and his parents when sitting in their living room is all that matters.
Tressel has lots of great traits, but at those 2 he was masterful. He could recognize talent that would help YSU better than any person who has ever lived and when sitting down one on one, the sob can sell snowballs to eskimos! Look at the job he is doing selling rich guys on giving millions to YSU!
We still don’t know how BP is doing or can do at the 1-AA level. Without Nebraska transfers last year's D would have been significantly less effective. I haven’t heard one guy say the last 2 classes were anything special. The jury is out, but where we play Dayton has absolutely nothing to do with anything.

YSU was not beating the Buckeye's in the 90's. Although it is fun to think it. 8)
