Were they expecting 20k to be at the playoff games ? Are there even 20k people left living in the city limits ? Give me a break. Strollo and the whole athletic department are a joke. Have you heard a peep from them since saturdays game ? Besides a measly tweet and Facebook post ? The most important game in our football program since 1999. What a crock of sh*t.

The problem lies with the people of Youngstown. They routinely turn out 10k for high school football games but do not attend YSU games.

I enjoy high school football and go to plenty of games and I can assure you attendance at local HS games is down as well. Furthermore, I struggle to believe ANY game this year had 10k. Old SVC games maybe had 7500 if they were lucky and those are the big time local schools. We have issues but from someone that lives here, I don't think that is the problem at all.

1986 Mooney vs Boardman at YSU high noon. Not a seat to be had, people were sitting on the steps. 7pm the same day YSU was playing Cincinnati 3500 tops. Those days are LONG gone.

I meant OLD SVC RIVALS playing this year, my bad on not elaborating. Ursuline vs Boardman this year had maybe a few hundred folks. Ursuline Harding had a decent crowd but nothing like the days of early 2000s.

Although I live out of town I have attended 20% of the games this year. If 20% of the fans attending high school game in the Youngstown area were to all go to a YSU game, the University wouldn't be forced to make harsh decisions. I called people up there and told them to go to the Wofford game. I told them the university needs the money and that they need to support that team.
The real issue for me is that the people take for granted how special the football program is here. They say as a matter of fact they know football, but they really don't. They watch high school football that may have one athlete that can start at YSU after his sophomore year. The rest of the players will never make a division 1 college football team. There are far more bad players on the field in a high school game. Hell, they probably don't cut anyone anymore. High school football is a joke.
Best part is that the comedian that runs the Sunday sports show on 570 interviews the high school coaches and basically treats YSU football as an afterthought. Most of the callers want to talk about JFK and something that goes on in Painesville. And then the there this other guy that calls in to hear himself on the radio. That is the damn problem right there. We should have a show with substance and dedicated to YSU. I didn't know about Podesta, but it sounds like he is doing that. Also, now fans won't go games if they feel it is too cold? Youngstown people are known for their toughness and grit. People have gotten soft but want to say that the area is tough....the data says otherwise for the majority. I wont attack those people that do go to the games.

Don't let it slide or things will never change
