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

--- Quote --- 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.

Barstool: Could you clarify the dividing line of marketing and media? I am missing your point on this.

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.

Agreed with the media disappointment. There is following all over the area. Each year one of the Pittsburgh Newspapers has done a piece in the beginning of the season, showcasing the kids that have come in from the WPIAL to play in the YO, and have also done stories on Christian and Dante as they were known players in the Pittsburgh Area. But these were articles just written because they are hometown kids and they do a nice job following them. Need to work on the media attention the next couple years. Its upsetting flying up to see my brother play in his Senior season and seeing an empty stadium, not just because I wanna see it filled, but also because I know for a fact the players want it to be filled. Hoping we take care of business this week in Illinois. And if we do and there is a small crowd for the Indiana State final home game of the season that will be dissapointing. This is a good Ill State team, but a extremely beatable team.
ScarletRook:
So who at YSU is responsible for getting information to the media?
Was that Christian's dad running around in shorts on Saturday?
I saw Andre Stubbs mom wearing an OSU stocking cap Saturday. I hope she doesn't get thrown out of the stadium the next cold game.
HappyPenguin:
If the casual fans don't show up on bad weather days against bad teams, who cares?
Why do we need an additional 2000 fans who sit there silently like they are watching an opera? I would bet the percentage of these 2000 people who would actually pay for their tickets would be shockingly small, so it would not affect revenue at all IMO.
Make the playoffs more than once a decade maybe they'll come back, maybe not. Screw 'em either way.

I am and have been a long time YSU fan. I graduated from there and attended games back at Rayen Stadium, to Campbell, to Fitch and then at the Ice Castle. I was fortunate to travel to three different championship games. When they were hot in the 90's YSU was the place to been seen. Games were the social event of the week. As the teams declined so did the attendance. It is no surprise to see poorly attended games. What I find sad is that posters are attacking Mooney and Ursuline because fans attend those games and not YSU. This board is about YSU, not the local high schools. Mooney and Ursuline have provided their fans with state championships over the last decade while YSU has fallen on its face when the chips were down and a playoff spot was at stake. Wake up folks! The problem is YSU and the product that is on the field every Saturday. No one wants to see Butler and St. Francis. Those glory days are gone and YSU needs to carve a new niche and begin to establish itself again as a legitimate playoff contender.
