YSU Penguin Athletics > YSU Penguin Athletics

Guins vs. Coyotes

<< < (16/21) > >>

Shameful embarrassing crowd turnout.  The Mahoning valley should be ashamed. If you didn't go and you live local you are to blame. And I will now refer to all living there (outside of the 1000 people there every week) as suck as band wagon pieces of crap. Especially the ones wearing their Ohio State stuff. Now when I see a person with Ohio State stuff I am going to call them out, embarrass them and tell them to get the hell out of the tailgate lot or go to the book store and buy a YSU shirt before they come back in.   Wrong f'ing team ********s.  Same ********s that don't show up for the team because they are pussificated in cold weather

Struck a nerve.

Sometimes I wish there were a "like" button on this board.

The weather was horrible, more like December or January than the first day of November.  From my vantage point in the east stands, the fat cats did stuff their loges, as usual.

What I am about to say will shock some of you who live far away and remember that close connection between YSU football and the community.  That connection was broken long ago.  Casual fans just don't care anymore.  That is the price of failure in twelve of the past thirteen seasons.  In the old days, when I met a casual fan, that person would ask me details about the team.  Today, invariably casual fans that I meet ask me only one question: "Do you still go to the games?"  When I respond in the affirmative, they actually laugh at me and ask me why.  That is how far interest has fallen.  It will take years of sustained winning to recapture at least some of that interest.  Actually making the playoffs this season would be a start.

Oops, somebody please move these comments to the "no butts in the seats" thread that YSUGO just started.

YSU teams in recent years would have collapsed due to the first half turnovers. This team played through its mistakes, like good teams do when they are down. Maybe there really has been a change in attitude.  I guess we'll know next week.

That is hard for me to believe.  What happened? We've had many winning seasons. You don't make the playoffs every year even Tress didn't
