YSU Penguin Athletics > YSU Penguin Athletics
Guins vs. Coyotes
BarstoolCleveland:
Agreed on this. Ysu does a very poor job at getting media excited/interested in ysu athletics.

Bashing people because they follow one high school program or another isn't going to help the cause. High school football is big here. It always has been and that isn't likely to change. YSU isn't competing against the local high schools. There is room for prep football and college football in the Valley. One doesn't negate the other.
Similarly, YSU and Ohio State aren't in competition. What people forget is that during the 1990s, when YSU was winning titles, there was a huge level of OSU fatigue because the Buckeyes were busy underachieving. People knew OSU was as talented as any team in the country, but you could bet they'd lose a game or two they had no business losing. People got tired of it.
BarstoolCleveland:
I don't think the valley has this large level of high school football attendance as they think. I know it's impossible for anyone to get correct figures, but Ursuline or mooney aren't getting over 5k at games at Stambaugh. No matter how much their fans shout or holler that they do, they don't. But that's a different story, for a different day.

No, there isn't any one school with enormous attendance. And yes, even when Mooney and Ursuline are at Stambaugh, the place looks empty. But each program in the Valley, especially those that win, draw their crowds.

Agreed, I asked this question to a couple local players when I was up this weekend, and they said it is a pretty poor turnout for the High School games as well. Even the rivalries.
