Our O line seems to have problems against a 3 man front
Not worthy of it's own thread but yesterday proved why auto-bids are a major joke. Drake wins the Pioneer and loses to a third place team from another league 66-3.Duquesne wins the NEC and gets bounced by a team that was the fifth or sixth team to get in from another league 40-7.I am not bashing these teams or leagues, I'm sure that they look forward to the chance to play, but that just is not reality. Giving these leagues a spot is keeping another deserving team at home. Play-offs should be about the 24 best teams.
I was at the 1997 game. Many from the valley traveled to the game and stayed at a hotel owned by Ron Jaworski. At that point we had more fans than ever so a large group traveled. Their field at the time was at the level of a typical lower tier high school stadium. Not sure if they play at the same place or not. We were behind big and I think got a blocked punt and Harry Deligeonus (sp) wrecked havoc on their qb from the Dline position at the end of the game. He was unlockable. Great win. The trip home that night was terrible with a snowstorm making driving a challenge, but we were all happy! Hope we can repeat this Saturday.

UIW didn't make the playoffs and Lafayette lost to a crappy Delaware team. Just sayin.. Need to dump the 24 team auto and go back to the best 16 teams with a strict criteria for the playoff spot.
We have a contingent heading out to Villanova. Been going to the YSU web page but no info on anything about the trip, tickets, team hotel, tailgating, etc…. Anyone hear anything!?!?Go Guins!
Who is making the trip to Villanova!? Looking forward to being there Saturday!
