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

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.

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.

I understand your guys point.... Ok, so we had a bad crowd, against a bad opponent, on a bad weather day. It is what it is. Can we get back to football now???

So here's my point. We have tv, print, radio and now Internet media coverage in big cities all within a couple of hours from town. We have athletes from these areas playing for our teams. We have alumni in these areas. There's a gap between the media who tell these stories, and ysu, who's supposed to bring these stories to them. I have yet to see one highlight in Cleveland news. Even with our runningback from two years ago being from there. We have people who specialize in getting this info to the media. Ysu is doing a poor job at that.

Geriatrics my friends, geriatrics!!! You fail to realize that this town is old and the people are old and the fans that went to the games in the 90's when it was popular are now old. We do not have a young fan base anymore. No young people moving into the community. Forget about Poland, Canfield, Mooney, Ursuline fans coming to a YSU game, they don't get it. Geriatric Crowd...do I need to post the picture of the woman crocheting in the stands again?
GO GUINS!
