You know, there is a game on Saturday

Wick250:
The silence on this board about the South Dakota State game is starting to confirm my worst fears about the Indiana State debacle.  That performance drained all the energy and interest out of the program.  The impact on casual fans is especially drastic.  How many of those do you figure watched the Indiana State game on tv: 10,000, 20,000, more?  Of that number, how many turned it off before the end of the first quarter?  Televising road games can play a useful role in stimulating interest.  But it can also smash interest if the team performs as poorly as we did in Terre Haute.

Trying to make it up from Savannah, Ga...at least that is the plan.

HappyPenguin:
If we were 3-1 I'd more more excited for sure.

But last game was a new take on an old tune....give up a lot of points and lose within the conference. At least we didn't blow a lead.

More disappointed than disinterested. I'll be there but I was hoping for progress from last year, I'm not sure I'm seeing it.

IAA Fan:
Wick has a valid point. The casual fan sees the Trees of old, not the competitive club they are today. However, I am not convinced ISU can compete with the upper-end of the conference (UNI will tell us this weekend). So that makes me feel that we may not be able to compete with the upper-3 either.

I am always excited about YSU games. However, I have followed the team through thick and thin, where many fans today are like my daughter. She grew up with the 1990's Penguins ...sitting on my lap, and is truly spoiled. I, on the other hand, enjoy watching the progression of the team and players. Also, do not forget we have a new coach, Wolf needs his time to progress as well.

IAA-I think all of us younger generation Penguin fans were spoiled through the 90s. I still support MY school(as with many on this board I am a YSU grad). I sat in the stands through 3-8 seasons, the National Championship years, the Heacock Era. I won't even go there on the many cold games I have sat in. I can remember being in the stands when there was 4,000 people in the crowd. I do know the weather is suppose to be awesome Saturday, so there is NO excuse for people not to go. Plus they are honoring our 91 team.
