No butts in the seats and tailgate lot was just as bad!

YSU's marketing is quite good. Way better than Cleveland State, Kent or Akron. Go to any of those towns, and you won't know a University even exists.
YSU lacks on its media side. The sports info department is very poor at getting the word out to media outside of the Youngstown market. I think we need to find a media member from the Pitt or Cle market to replace some of the dead weight that gets our media coverage out there.
There's no life in the Youngstown area. No new industry. No jobs. Smart graduates like myself are forced to leave the area. If you're going to blame anyone, blame the politicians. They've buried this area, and have done next to nothing to grow jobs. Alums like myself will continue to move away. There will be no young people like myself left in the area to support this school. I see a lot of politicians walking around the tailgate lot, asking for votes. They are the reason the area is dying. Tell them this. Elect new people. Instead, you welcome these losers with open arms. You get what you deserve. There's no jobs.

Totally agree. Forced to move after 37 years because if there is a D on the ballot the nimrods vote that one automatically

It's all about jobs. And there are very limited decent paying jobs for youngsters. The area is declining every single year.
This is going to affect enrollment.
This is going to affect attendance.
But people still refuse to believe this is a dying area. Drive around the suburbs of Pittsburgh, Cleveland and Columbus. Then look at me with a straight face and say strut hers, liberty, girard, austintown and Campbell are appealing.
The politicians (Hagan, Ryan, any mayor of any city, betras) they are the problem!!!
But this message board is typical of this area. Placing blame where problems don't exist. Wtf will firing coaches and marketing people do to keep people from moving out of the area? It's the ignorance that got us in this problem to begin with.

Ok, this is not a political message board. It's a YSU sports message board where we talk sports. Talk about the decline of the city somewhere else. It is what it is..... Marketing department is the problem. Heck, we had one of our posters, Mr. Bryan make an awesome hyped up video on for one of the home games this year that was better than I've seen ANYTHING the athletic department has put out.

^^^^ here lies the problem. Whenever anyone brings up a legitimate, intelligent, point, no one listens.
Attendance is down, because population is down. Graduates aren't staying in the area. Ysu has a huge following in Cleveland, Columbus and Pittsburgh. We need media coverage in those towns. Marketing ain't the problem. Lack of media coverage and population decline is. Politicians aren't bringing in job, to keep graduates like me here. Same goes with my 5 best friends from YSU.
Ignore it, or place blame elsewhere all you want. But a 2 minutes YouTube video ain't bringing in all the graduates moving out of the area.
Now back to 0505 calling for everyone to be fired. That's effective!

Don't be in denial. I like you a lot 0505 but there certainly is a factor of political allegiance that is a factor in the financial health of the area.
