YSU Penguin Athletics > YSU Penguin Athletics
If we win and this weekend and get screwed out of the playoffs again............
penguinpower:
If this happened I want to move to FBS. NDSU dropped to 4th. They kept Richmond above us. The CAA bias has started.
Penguin Nation:
I have posted many times that the MVFC is a poor fit for YSU.
The MVFC is a powerhouse conference, but if that is not appreciated by the selection committee, than what is the point of being in the MVFC.
There are other FCS conferences in which the travel budget would be lower, and we would have our name engraved on their auto-bid. The SOS could overall increase with non-"weenie" OOC opponents. One example is Fordham will play Army, and prolly beat them because Army is FBS in name only. We could wallop MAC and other lowly FBS teams, increase fan interest, and improve SOS.
If ANY MVFC teams get screwed by the selection committee, than its either time to leave the MVFC, or accept that we'll rarely see the post-season. Some say, "well just win." When you are in the MVFC, its like fighting Floyd Mayweather every Saturday. Its just not that simple.
All that said....I think a win on Saturday and YSU is in.

This is the perfect post. But I wonder if the Athletic department thinks like this.
YSUinBoston:
When were the Penguins "screwed" out of the playoffs recently? Because that team the last two years didn't deserve a playoff berth.
If this team loses another game, they forfeit the right to whine again also.
It's easy to make the playoffs. Win. When you don't win, you have nothing to complain about. Color me unimpressed with the perpetual 7-4 seasons under this dumbass meathead.
GOpenZ:
1. I agree our conference is tough. With that said I continue to believe that this conference can ultimately be the best fit for us if we can add some teams and not be required to pay for travel to the Dakota's so frequently. The conference will stay tough! Take note that the SEC did not lose strength by adding T A&M and Missouri.
2. Agreed, we have not been a playoff caliber team, come season end lately. 7-4 is not a playoff lock. 8-3 in our conference should be. So yes...win and make the playoffs. We do not deserve to beat our chests and get trophies at 7-4 or less.
3. We have increased our win total annually under Wolf. While he is not the likable candidate at the helm, he is our coach and deserves supported. His first words as coach that I heard heard were in front of a small charitable group and that we as individuals in the Valley (fan or not) have to talk positive, about the program and the Mahoning Valley...otherwise, if we can't have a positive view of these why should a recruit (local or national). That said, it is not guaranteed, but we can still end up with nine wins this season (again an increase over the previous year). I look forward to seeing that happen! (then I have no doubt the conversation herein would change dramatically.)
