Penguin Nation:
YSU finishes their 10 game season at SIU with kickoff set for Saturday at 1 pm.

The Salukis (7-3/5-2) have won the last two meetings vs YSU and a win should result in an at-large playoff invitation. A loss to YSU would be their third loss in four games and with their wins being razor thin (two conference games won by a single point), the selection committee may pass on SIU.

Interestingly the SRS ranks SIU #26 which is much lower than the STATS or Coaches polls. This also suggests a loss for SIU = season over.

In their OOC schedule, SIU lead K-state in Q2 and only lost by 8.

SIU has the third best passing offense in the MVFC. YSU has the lowest ranked pass defense.

I could see Mitch keeping this a close slugfest, but likely a respectable loss. My prediction: SIU 38 - 17.

Sounds like a great place to end our road losing streak.

goodnews:
Look at the excitement building around the YSU football program.  I'm post #3 for the final game thread just 48 hours away from kickoff.

dwj:
There is very little interest in the program.  The program is at an all time low with no signs that it will get better in the future. I have been a season ticket holder for 25+ years and am seriously considering not renewing next year.  Most of the people that I used to sit by are already gone. The fan base has really shrunk.

Stages of fandom....passionate interest/bandwagon effect; anger; apathy. Anger is good because it reflects interest.If anger is not responded to it leads to apathy which is difficult to recover from if not fatal.
