If not over then Youngstown doesn't need or deserve a D1 basketball program.

I'll raise you 2,000. I'll say 2,500 in attendance due to the slew of promotions for this game. Whether I make it remains to be seen due to work.

GB is tough, but must win game you guys think?

every game is a must win! YSU could pull off the upset. You never know what you are going to get with this team sometimes- they are so hit and miss. When you think they'll lose they win, when you think they'll wine they lose.

lets hope they get it done! goooooo guins!

Weber will most likely be out tonight too.... Need another big game from Amiker.

The university has my money from season tickets, but I doubt that I will go tonight.  Don't want to sit there and watch our non-DI backup big men try to compete with Green Bay.  And without Weber, Green Bay will take Perry out of the game.  Honestly, with our women now coming back down to earth, my interest in basketball has evaporated.  I am looking forward to the conference track meet in two weeks.

We will be lucky to win another game.  Give slocum another extention. Unacceptable february performances

Good thing the league is down....?  HAHA...... These teams have superior talent and better coaching period.

Listening to the broadcast says it all.... Im drawing a blank on his name but he says "with the 2nd team in none of them are experienced shooters".  What an insult to the fans and university.  You play in one of the top mid-major conferences and your scholarship athletes dont have the confidence to take a shot?  Does he think he is at a Grove City College junior varsity game or what?  To his defense maybe he felt like he was..............

Remember we were picked third by Sporting News,  What a joke, and what does Slocum have against recruiting big guys.  And don't tell there are none out there to be had.  GB had their way with us inside as soon as Hain went out and Chojknacki entered the game in the first half. We lost 8-10 point right there.

I don't even know what to say anymore.... It's an absolute joke. Fire this bum of a head coach we have! I'm sick of watching this crap fall apart every damn year. The whole team looks lost. Just passes around the perimeter and sets screens..... Bobby got blocked 4 times at the basket. It's embarrassing. None of the freshman play, so why even have them on scholarship? Btw, Marcus Keene is suspended indefinitely so there's more good news as well. Go guins

Same ole story. Ysu really needs to make sweeping changes to its athletic department.

Time for Jerry to go. I've been saying it. Get some young coach in here ready to prove himself. Not some washed up coach trying to rack up his win total..... This isn't D2 Jerry.

Dont be surprised if some of the newcomers transfer anyway according to some of the students i know.  Our promising start seems like it was a dream. I feel sorry for KP. He deserves better.  We just watched Kiefer Sykes player of the year.  KP has really fallen off the past 5 games.

2nd game I have seen this year, though the first was Westminster so I am not so sure that counts.

GB is really, really good,,,,,out-quicked us to every long rebound, jumped over us for others.  They also played with a rotation of 9 I think with little fall-off.

Hard for me to criticize YSU having only seen this game.  Those of you who have been to multiple games have a really better handle.

I DID think that we played hard----just too much talent deficiency.

Their guard #24 was a ball-handling and passing wizard....what a player.  Got mad hops too.

KP was way too passive last night.... But Slocum is supposed to be this offensive wizard huh? Top scoring team in the league? 40 points..... 40 freaking points. Do we play in the B10 now or what? If Slocum is the head coach after this year, it's an absolute shame, talking to you Ron Strollo.
Title: Re: GB Game
Post by: ysufan0505 on February 14, 2014, 09:03:55 AM
Bench got out scored 14-3.... BECAUSE JERRY DOESN'T USE THE BENCH.
Title: Re: GB Game
Post by: rayI09 on February 14, 2014, 09:09:11 AM
go back to D2 Jerry! It would also be a shame if Ron Strollo is back next year. And its time for wolford to put up or shut up.

It's clear YSU has accepted losing and a commitment to mediocrity. No wonder why fan support is sooo low for all the sports.

Does anyone know what Marcus did and what are the chances he ever returns?

Slocum didn't say. Just said indefinitely

In an interview with Rob Schmidt during media day before the start of this season, slocum says his team has frontline depth. he says he has three good 5"s and three good 4's. he says he feels very good about the 4's and 5's. he says he is excited about the depth at that positions.

Does anyone know what kind of drugs Slocum is on? The 4's and 5's are the weakest positions on the team. Is this guy living on planet earth?

Post by: ysufan0505 on February 14, 2014, 12:03:35 PM
Maybe Keene had the stones to step up to Slocum and tell him hey moron, play me off the bench. I can contribute. High energy guy, plays tough, can shoot. But nah Jerry likes to tire out his starters all game long. Gotcha

why are slocum's press conferences so short after a loss? but when they win he goes on and on and on.

why doesn't the media ask more questions after a loss? hold slocum's feet to the fire? are they afraid?

Did you see the one question a media member asked and he did not even answer the question, he just moved onto the next person! What a jack a**

Post by: rayI09 on February 14, 2014, 01:19:19 PM
If YSU was run like a first class organization both Strollo and Slocum would have been fired a long time ago. And Wolford would be out also.  This nonsense would not be tolerated.

I think keene had something to do with weber's broken nose.  That is what i heard.  Slocum needs to get in control of this mess i hear is developing.

What is the developing mess?  Someone suggested earlier in this thread that there would possibly be defections as well...  IP who has been very quiet usually has the inside story with the program?

Bench Players i hear want to play and starters tired of playing the entire game.  Morale is low.  Uic game scares me.

sounds like slocum has lost control of this team. could explain the 4 game losing streak-the last loss being a total embarrassment. maybe the team has thrown in the towel.
