SDSU In Game!
guinpen:
3 total penalties for 18 yards in the game. 1 for 5 yards for us. Seems they let the boys play
Karl Hungus:
Great team effort. Tough guys are making their impact. fb

Let it go.
FWIW, I used to be on LetsgoGuins.com, and there was a post about him an another site ripping MAC teams on behalf of YSU. It actually was a hilarious thread. I don't question his loyalty at all to YSU athletics. I too criticize the Athletic Department at times.....alright.....lots of times.
I heard once that the worst thing you could do to a person is ignore them....not obsess about them.
Don't waste your time on the small stuff like someone's loyalty to a University. It just doesn't matter.
Peace.

Here's my problem with the assumption that an 8-4 MVFC team is automatically in. It's the idea of being hot at the end of the season. Let's take Sam Houston State as an example. SHSU is 4-4. Realistically, it could win all four of its remaining games, which would include victories over such powerhouses as Incarnate Word and Houston Baptist. If it won the last four, it would actually end the season with a five-game winning streak thanks to its memorable 38-31 triumph over the almighty Abilene Christian yesterday. Then let's say YSU goes 2-2 over the next four weeks, losing to NDSU and Illinois State. We have two 8-4 teams: If the selection committee uses its past logic, SHSU would be the hotter of the two teams and get the bid if there was only one spot remaining. The committee might say that SHSU had a bad start, but is now peaking at the right moment, and YSU wouldn't have lost two of its last four if it were ready for the playoffs.
I'm not saying its right. Its how people think. You can't just look at how the MVFC is doing but you also have to look at what's going on in other conferences and how that is perceived. 8-4 in the MVFC puts a team on the FCS bubble with no guarantees. The only real solution here is for the whole conference to get out of the FCS, and the attendance numbers aren't high enough to make movement to the FBS a possibility.

The MVFC is so far superior to all other FCS conferences that it makes sense to move the conference up to FBS. Massey already ranks the MVFC higher than some FBS conferences. There are always logistical challenges, like stadium size of some member schools, but those don't seem insurmountable. SDSU is renovating their stadium....as did YSU years ago.
