YSU at Ohio State Saturday September 9th 2023 (Time TBA)
goodnews:
If u ask me this discussion about whether we should or shouldn't be playing this game is silly. I believe part of the problem is that what fans remain are stuck in what use to be. We are 25 years removed from YSU football being at the pinnacle of 1-AA football. Hell the name isn't even the same anymore. YSU needs this game for so many reasons its not worth listing. If YSU lays an egg its on the coach. It will be his 4th season and if he doesn't have something going by then we have bigger problems then a 55-0 loss to OSU and what the media has to say in Ohio.

Staff report
YOUNGSTOWN — Youngstown State will receive $800,000 for its game with Ohio State in 2023, according to public records obtained by The Tribune Chronicle.
The game is set for Sept. 9, and will be the first meeting between the programs since 2008, when now-YSU president Jim Tressel was the head coach at OSU. The Penguins are 0-2 all-time against the Buckeyes.
The other finalized non-conference games in 2023 will be home contests against Valparaiso (Thursday, Aug. 31) and Robert Morris (Saturday, Sept. 16). YSU is paying those schools $115,000 each, according to the game contracts.
YSU is 4-0 all-time against Robert Morris, with all four contests held in Youngstown. The teams last met in 2019, a 45-10 romp for the Penguins. They also met for three consecutive years from 2015-2017, a 21-14 overtime win in 2015, and wins of 38-6 and 30-0 the following two seasons.
According to fbschedules.com, which compiles schedules from across college football, the Penguins and Colonials will meet again in 2025 and 2027.
The Penguins have taken on Valpo three times in program history, and are undefeated in the series. In 2011, YSU throttled Valpo 77-13, and the following year won 59-0. The teams last met in 2018, a 42-7 Penguin victory.
Penguin Nick:
It's amazing how many negative comments there are about this game >:(. Are some of you afraid of your own shadows? Anytime YSU plays a big-time program I'm more excited about that game then any game on the schedule. I look forward to playing Kentucky this year and looked forward to MSU last year. I wish we could play two of these games every year. I guarantee our players look forward to these games. True, we are not the team we want to be or used to be but hopefully we are moving in the right direction. If it was up to some of you, Appy State would never have played Michigan and therefore, one of the greatest moments in sports history would not have occurred.
Penguin Nation:
Valpo? Can my sister take some snaps?
The margin of victory will be greater in the Valpo game than the margin of defeat in the Shoe. If not, YSU is now officially an Olympic Sports school.
So we get $800k plus benefits with TOSU, and pay $115K plus earn gate lol and and loge/ads/sales. Isn’t Strollo an accountant?
RMU….almost another Butler fiasco in 2015 under the rapist recruiter. DP is an upgrade (my Aunt Sara would be an upgrade) from Bozo, so this should be a comfortable win.
guinpen:
For the record my dislike for the game is simply because I hate the arrogance of everything associated with that school and would rather have nothing to do with them.
I have no problem playing 1 or 2 money games a year with the exception of the "zits and can't" until they come to our house.
