YSU Penguin Athletics / Re: This one really stings for some reason!!

Not sure the issue this year is MVFC vs. CAA but the OVC, SoCon, and Southland, which were overrated. A solution might be to have an MVFC challenge day against a conference, much like they do in basketball.  Imagine previous year MVFC #1 v. Southland #1, MVFC #2 vs. Southland #2, etc. Something like that would settle many of these issues on the field. Or do it with OVC simply because it is geographically close.

I like the challenge idea, would have to be on a two year cycle. big sky, ovc southern.

Nice post lets_talk - couple of points.

I have not been a big fan of Strollo over the years but I do believe that he has improved quite a bit. At the time I felt that Martin was a great hire, boy was I wrong.

Not sure I remember correctly but wasn't one of the other candidates a former AD from Bowling Green? I thought he was better qualified and when Strollo got the job it looked like a fix.

A new baseball field somewhere around campus or downtown.

Do not see it happening but it would be nice, heck Slippery Rock has one.

YSU Penguin Athletics / Who are you rooting for?

I must say that if YSU is not in the field I really do not care who wins and will not follow the games. Do not care for our league so do not care about those two teams either.

YSU Penguin Athletics / Re: 2014 Non Conference Football Schedule

Dana Balash on twitter this morning.... 

(@DanaBalash21) "YSU Football schedule non conference opponents for 2014 appear to be Illlinois, Butler, Duquesne and St. Francis"..

Another cupcake schedule for Wolford.

Slippery Rock, Lock Haven, Alabama A&M the list goes on. We played these teams and folks complained about cupcake schedule. Started playing FBS schools dumped the D2 and still folks complain about a cupcake schedule.

Make up a list of acceptable FCS schools that will play us and not want a return game and send it to the AD. Do not forget the "money" that wants 6 home games.

Me too, IP!!!!

What gives for the future of YSU football??  Does anyone care to give a thought about that?  Can't remember when I had an encouraging thought (Heacock, you don't agree, that's okay).  I am as I was THREE
Years ago....no play off hopes...so where do we go from here.  Your thoughts!!!!

Where do we go, only one way to go - forward. We only lost to one team that we should have beat. Last two games showed us how high the bar is, Wolf will be back but the other coaches ??. If he wants to improve Wolf better take a hard look at his recruiting and his staff. Defense needs most of the attention. Dah!

I will still get my season tickets and I will still go to every game.

Since the last addition to the league no one plays all the other teams, play all but one, two year cycle I believe. MSU should be on the sched next year not sure who will be off.

YSU Penguin Athletics / Re: SDSU Game Thread

« on: November 23, 2013, 07:51:05 PM »

I was sitting in the snow in disbelief. We were down by 2 TDs and Wolf ran out the clock before half time at the 40 yard line with 40 seconds and 3 timeouts left. The series before that, we scored a TD with 2-3 plays. He either burned all 3 TOs before 2nd quarter or he saved all 3 TOs at the end of the 2nd quarter. That  was really Poor game management.

Agreed, could not believe we did not try and score, sent a bad message to the players. He either wastes TO's when he should not have to or keeps them in his pocket.

The missed XP was sad, we try and show all these looks and run out of time, hurry the kick and miss. Cut the crap, line up and kick it!

Maybe they could get a home game for the 500 people that will go.

I think that the AD should give a season pass to every YSU fan that stayed until the end of the game, My group did! Heck they should throw in a parking pass also.

First, that was an egg they laid today. Woefully unprepared, outplayed and yes, outcoached. It was a debacle. Poor D ad the O was manhandled . Yep, it was embarrassing.

I find myself agreeing with you again!

YSU Penguin Athletics / Re: Who is head coach in 2014 ?

« on: November 23, 2013, 07:43:25 PM »

With Wolford failing to improve the defense in the 4 years as head coach and with us missing the playoffs for his 4th straight season tmrw,  Who do we hire as the new head coach ?  Carl Pelini ? Mark Mangino ? Who ?

You are correct about the defense, the last couple of weeks it has been handled. Now we played some good teams, but that just goes to show how far we are from where we want to be. Why are we unable to get some stud D players?

Team did not look ready to play today, talking mental and x's and o's. SDSU was the better team, better prepared, wanted it more then we did.

Blame goes to the coaching staff and Wolf is the man.

DL & Secondary. If you are talking next year, add a QB to that.

I agree
