The YO Show:
I agree ucfpengbuck and ysuguins4 I would rather play MAC schools. This has been discussed before. But ultimately, I can say I now know Akron has a moratorium on playing YSU. I'm guessing Kent would as well. We would have to play different MAC schools if we did.

Saturday was particularly bad. This team was VERY shorthanded with suspensions and injury. Very sad for their kids. Don't know about our players, but Ricky Davis was having a ball, that's for sure.
Playing the MAC schools sounds good to fans, but you play 2 a year, on average, lose at least 1. Now you play nationally ranked 1AA powers #2 #4 #12 and #22 and lose 2 of those. Now we are best case you are 8-3 Now you can't slip up even once against a team like say UNI in the UniDome. And who's to say you win even one against NDSU, SD, and SDSU? Then if you lose even one more and 7-4 and you're out of the playoffs.
We are better off waiting for Akron and Kent and Buffalo to go broke trying to stay Div 1A, and want to drop back and form a new Great Lakes Conference with those 4 teams as a core.

I'd do a 2 for 1 with us getting one year to their two at their place. I accept the fact that they're FBS and we're FCS. Additionally, YSU could get more exposure if these games are on ESPN, on a Thursday night.

I believe this discussion has come up a few years back. It was suggested that the big donors wanted an extra home game.
Since FBS teams would not come to play at FCS schools, we had to schedule D2 or lower ranked FCS schools (CCSU, RMU, Duquense, Dayton, Butler....).
I don't know if we could ever get a home/home series with the MAC teams or any FBS teams.

No mac team will play us, because they know their chances of losing the game are high.

Trust me, it isn't about FCS FBS or 1AA and 1A it's about MONEY. You offer OSU enough money (we absolutely couldn't do it) but if you did they'd play in the Ice Castle!
