YSU Penguin Athletics > YSU Penguin Athletics
No butts in the seats and tailgate lot was just as bad!

HAHAHAHA they announced 8,000?! I wonder if they just pick these numbers from a hat. I also wonder if YSU knows how bad their marketing department is and, if so, do they just not give a crap or do they just not have the money to do anything about it... Either way, bad rep for the university

Why does a supposedly knowledgeable football town/fanbase (or what people like to claim) have to be herded like cattle to a game? I don't think people in the valley really understand football if they haven't figured it out what we have right now. the win last week was not a fluke and it was against a very good football team. The team is demonstrated this year that they can overcome severe adversity. And they've been undefeated since they started their new quarterback. The best part is that the quarterback struggled today and everybody picked up the slack for him because he is young. Very promising

YSU football is a product that, like any product, needs to be deemed worthy by the consumer of their valuable time and hard earned money.
It is not the fans fault that the product (YSU FB) deteriorated after JT left. It is not the fans fault that we play teams in the Dakotas rather than Akron or Kent or Ohio U.
IMO, if a business is doing poorly and not closing the deal with consumers.....it is never the consumer's fault.

Mooney and Ursuline brands suck and idiots flock to it all the time. Why would you ever want to watch a team run the ball every play and beat up on inferior talent? There is probably 1 kid on the entire Mooney and Ursuline teams combined that could warm the bench for YSU. The quality of HS football is bad and it draws. Sickening

WE draw because we have 12 state titles between us and play the likes of Steubenville, Massillon, and St. Edward's on a yearly basis. Being that Mooney has two FBS recruits, a kicker coming to YSU, and a QB that may go Ivy, and Ursuline has a LB that will go either FBS/FCS and a handful of linemen Wolford is onto, I think you may want to retract that statement.

Regardless if its Boardman, Canfield, Fitch, Struthers, South Range etc. High school football is not nearly as good as college football. This isn't necessarily attack on the local high schools as much as it is an attack on the jackasses that attend those games but fail to attend the college football game by the college that represents the place they live in, on a national level, with national publicity, on a national stage. Yet those same jackasses could tell you everything there is to know about Cardinal Mooney or Fitch or Boardman or Canfield or Poland or any of those teams. The high school game should always come second to the priority of the college football game yet these people don't know anything about Youngstown State football. And there is a lot of these people. Maybe it's just the overall lack of education we have in the valley because we're blue collar and there such a high number of people without college degrees. I don't understand why they all worship their stupid high school. Perhaps that's why we are where we are. I would never want to attend any high school football game including the high school I went to. I could give a crap less. Yes there were some good kids on the teams and there were some bad kids on the team but most of the kids nwill ever play college football. That statement is true all of the high schools in Ohio and in the US. I played HS football too.

Give them a small section on the west side, preferably by the tunnel where the team comes out. Marketing department sucks and we all know it. They all need fired. I can find a man off the street that does the same job as they do! It's embarrassing...... The team deserves better than this. Unreal, 7-2 and on the verge of the playoffs and we draw 1,000 people.

So you want the football coach fired, men's basketball coach fired, and marketing staff gone? Take a deep breath and think before you type. Words have meaning.
