I'm a bison fan. You can check my IP address it's from Moorhead, MN. I use the same username on AGS, Bisonville, and I even have a little history with the Redbird fan on here on the ISU forum when I felt him and a few others were overly critical of their Department on other ticket stuff a couple years ago.
You and some others don't see anything wrong with how YSU handled this. However, you're doing your fanbase a disservice by deleting and locking threads on this issue. Myself (completely unbiased) and a few other YSU fans don't agree. I couldn't care less if you delete this or ban me or whatever, but let the conversation be had. Other Penguin fans can read and/or post and come to their own conclusion how they feel about how YSU handled this.

agreed as another outside objective poster. ISU 2014 made different mistakes with Frisco ticket buying, but responded immediately and made it right .. they put a positive spin on who incident, and no one cared, because they corrected their initial mistake. If Bison had won their semi, YSU fans would have deservedly been infinitely more outraged .. Bison would not be dumping all their tickets.
YSU Sports Admin needs to acknowledge mistakes were made .. and send JMU a big thank you for beating Bison .. or there would have been zero tickets available beyond the 1,000 they bought for all their high rollers.
Censorship is not the answer .. trust and confidence has been lost .. only answer is to own up to issue and learn from mistakes.
Regardless .. good luck to YSU .. ironically, this may be the intangible that Pellini uses to give his team the mental edge. Way to rep the Valley !!!
Penguin Nation:
I suspect everyone here knew there'd be no accountability...which is how this happened in the first place. Yes, everyone makes mistakes. Some, however, make more than others, and some make bigger ones than others. This one was such a whopper that systematic processes at most organizations would've prevented it. The Athletic Department needs an overhaul top-down. The overhaul needs to include new leadership, a staffing and budget review, and a review of decision making processes. The Athletic Department had a >$14.5M budget in 2016....and this is what we get? Ticketgate could flip from another Athletic Department scandal, and instead become an opportunity for improvement.
Look at our AD's record. Look at FB since he took over. We've given up on MBB because we are a "FB school"...even though we know this is the only the second playoff appearance in 17 years for the "Team of the 90s." Renewing Heacock's contract, Hill, Martin, Slocum, FB attendance...missteps which all deplete revenue generation and create a vicious cycle.
YSU FB's appearance in a National Championship game could be parlayed into something bigger but only if the right ppl are involved.
Before any apoplectic responses are posted...a reminder that we, as an alleged advanced species. can cheer as well as question.

I will ask you again Nation, since you ignored me last time are you going to the game

Ice...why does it matter. Im seriously not trying to get into an argument. I myself am just about over complaining about this. But, i suspect a heck of a lot of people are pissed...and equally as much as nation. And i think we have every right to be. Our "7" are still going to the game but will sit in 4 separate areas. And its just flipping crap. And its crap that there is NO accountability. I also suspect that if someone from YSU would just say they screwed up on purpose or on accident that most if not all us would say...ok...thank you for the apology. What is wrong with simply admitting a mistake? I think that is what most of us are saying. And i think we have every right to an apology as well.
Anyway...go guins...see ya in Frisco

I hear what your saying. I think at some point, someone needs to explain what happened. You also have to remember that these people have been off of work since they won in Eastern Washington. No that's not a excuse but could be a reason why no one has come out and said what happened. Hopefully they do soon.
As for Nation going or not going. My point is why would you let the screw up keep you from going, there still are tickets available and some people are just using it as a excuse.
I'm glad you will be there to support the kids and honestly that's all that really matters. It wasn't there fault someone screwed up
