1. I don't think anyone beats that team this year (SDSU).
2. What people need to realize is we are better than 90% of the FCS. The problem is that we play in a conference that's the absolute best of the best. In general, whomever wins the MVFC is the likely winner of the national championship.
3. That had a team full of 6 year seniors and we are playing mostly Freshman and Sophomores.
4. I heard that Phillips was willing to speed up the transformation of the team, but was limited by the AD. In addition, His first recruiting year was shorted scholarships due to NCAA rules violations by Pelini.
5. If we get into the playoffs, and there's a chance we will (look at the remaining schedule) we would do a lot of damage in the playoffs. We would finish in the top 15 easily.
6. We weren't aggressive enough against SDSU. It looked to me that we were trying to keep it close and get it into the 4th quarter, but they were able to shut down the run game completely. Then we were doomed.
7. We have legitimate complaints about the referees in this game. When they took that TD off the board, it was the turning point.
Keep the perspective. We need a couple more kids. We win will 2 more on offense and 2 more on defense (on the lines).

Power every year it’s the same conference is the best again what’s the point of being in this conference when we can’t get past the top 4 teams
The refs didn’t beat us stop it.
That team beat us as soon as they got of the bus.
Being better than 90 percent of all the other schools means nothing.
We fricken didn’t even score.
Then Davidson post game press conference sounded like an ass saying they weren’t nothing special lol. Then made the same excuse they had a lot of 6 year players. Very sad.
This football program and the YSU administration needs to do some soul searching. We have become a second rate school in the conference an afterthought to the local fans and it’s just excuse after excuse.
If the basketball team can win another 20 games they have become the number one program at the school.
It kills me to say it.

Go, I do not like the conference either, mostly because the western schools do not interest me, but that is where we are. What other conference would you suggest would be a good fit and would want us.
Power is correct about the refs, you never know how a bad decision can affect a game, but the point is that we have a legitimate compliant.
I would say that being better then 90 percent of all the other schools is pretty darn good.
I hope that the basketball team does win 20 games, but to think that would make them the number 1 sport is a big stretch. Certainly a basketball game will never have an announced crowd of over 9000. Maybe a sellout once in a blue moon but football will remain the big dog for years to come.
You, myself and many others are frustrated, plenty of areas to place blame, AD, admin coaches etc.

Yea keep playing that money game each year but how about more fans put their butts in a seat. 11,000 more per game at $20.00 for 6 home games would bring in about 1.3 million extra per year, not to mention parking and concessions.
That would give us the needed funds to upgrade the coaching staff like a lot of folks want. So you can make a case that the future of the football program is in our hands.

Likewise, a lot more people purchase tailgate tickets than go to the games, it is really a habit. So you may think there is only about 150 people with tickets, but I bet it is closer to 250. Those are season tickets. That is another $50k to $75k. Not to mention there is a great amount of missed opportunity there.

I can almost assure you we are not even on the committee's radar after that debacle!
