YSU Penguin Athletics > YSU Penguin Athletics
2014-15 Mens Basketball Schedule
ELPENGUIN:
5:05 Go back to the baseboard. I now recognize what type of fan you are. Would not want you anywhere near a YSU athletic event..........you do not deserve YSU.
Lets_Talk:
El Penguin, here is the thing I do not understand when people such as yourself make comments like this. You are a season ticket holder. You travel to away games for multiple YSU sports, and attend more sports than just basketball and football at home.
But, how does telling a person with a different opinion from you they are not a fan, and are not needed by YSU do anything to help YSU. Given the attendance figures for YSU sports, the athletics department needs all the fans they can get. And, for all you or I know, 0505 and others who share his point of view may well be graduates of YSU. ???
I see the same things done to people out here in Vegas on the UNLV fan boards. People telling those who may not go to any football games, or who only go to 1-2 per year they are "not real fans", and not needed by UNLV. This for a program that struggles to average the required 15,000 fans per game in football. And, as for UNLV basketball, while still good, there has been a HUGE dropoff from the days of Tark.
I will NEVER understand how telling people with differing opinions they are not fans, or that they are not needed by YSU is of help to YSU? And, going to tons of games, and being blatantly loyal and accepting of mediocrity, does not mean one is a "true fan". Nor does a person who wants and demands more than mediocrity, and is tired of year after year after year of what passes for D1 non conference basketball at YSU, and what passes for football at a supposed "football school" ???

Many of us are, but we do not make comment like "I usually attend every home game" and this year I will not. Especially considering this is better than most schedules over the past few years. You find venues to express your concerns over the schedule ...such as this board. You can attend a Penguin club meeting and speak there. You can write a letter to the Athletic department. You can write a letter to the Vindy, the Trib, or other media venue. Look at those two guys that talks sports on public access ...I call them click and clack. They should be discussing everything that lives about YSU athletic, but they live in this OSU, Cleveland and HS lovefest area. Write them every day and ask that it become a topic of conversation on their show. ELPenguins is just saying that you can express concerns about YSU without attacking ...sounds quite reasonable.
ELPENGUIN:
Thank You 1-AA.
