Congratulation Butler

<< < (3/6) > >>

YsuPride:
Nova,
100% agreed.   Beating Butler will not get us better recruits.  We need big guys who can play and Slocums top prospect is a 5-9 guard from Akron SVSM.  What the hell is he thinking? 
At least we can hope for 2011 Football to be better because b-ball at YSU is going nowhere.

I can see it now:

College recruit: "hey mom, I want to go to YSU. They beat Butler this year."
Mom: "never heard of that school, lets find out more"
Recruit " I just went online, it seems like they are one of the worst D1 programs in the last 25 years- nevermind"

Get real. A mention that Butler's last loss was at the hands of this wretched program is meaningless!

I cannot agree. Any mention is a good mention. {I was hoping that the national media would pick up more on the off-campus shootings}. In one week, the average person will not know any reason why we were on the news ...just that we were the team that beat Butler. You act as though we are going to attract "big-name talent" here. We are a small-time program looking to transition ...this is a great thing for us. There have been no less than a couple dozen mentions of YSU. Slocum has done well on all the interviews ..as have the players. No, this is not going to sell a rivals-100 player ...who cares? They should get little more than a form-letter from us anyways. Slocum does a good job of finding "fringe" talent, and this goes a long way there. The local impact is immeasurable. The impact on our current players will be as well.

Pita:
Nova......perhaps the parent son conversation would go more like this.....
Son....geez, why would I want to go to YSU....fans on their
sports talk website, especially a "Nova person", would way rather give the
team a kick in the butt, than a helping hand of support when they are
DOWN

Don't mean to be critical of you, but you do get on my last nerve, with
your sarcastic summation.

GO PENGUINS

nova75:
Just being a realist. The only thing that can help this team is WINNING. A mention on ESPN will not help recruiting to a place where 10 wins is considered a good year. Either find a coach and spend the money to compete, or drop to division 2.

ItalianPenguin:
Pita--Nova75's problem stems from NOT having any solid, meaningful conversations with his own father. I don't believe he's necessarily a bad person, just one who didn't (and still doesn't get) any proper fatherly advice.
