On the wish list...........please a new sound system.  I cannot understand or hear the words being pronounced.  Of course I am an old buzzard and maybe my earing needs to be adjusted.

Wickman I do think you have hit it.  Scheduling opponents who may be of equal footing with us will never happen.  What team would give up a home game to play here.  Surely not a MAC school or a Conference USA school.  Maybe a 3 or 4 for 1 but not a 1 for 1.  Move YSU up is the answer except where is the money going to come from?  Maybe we need some oil/gas money to start cultivating such a move.

Pepsi is the best soda drink in the world. You heard that from me here and now.

Coach, you must replace your free safety. He had not shown much over his injured years. Find someone who can play the position and I mean not just "trying to make tackles".

5:05 Go back to the baseboard. I now recognize what type of fan you are.  Would not want you anywhere near a YSU athletic event..........you do not deserve YSU.

Excellent ball handler and scorer. I saw him play many times and he would have in well with us. I hope his career is good except when playing against YSU.  He can light it up...........streaky shooter with ice in his veins.

I would like all of us to use our names not some moniker to hide behind.  How about it?

Is it interesting how the Coach Slocum haters come out of the woodwork and show who they truly are.
These "fans" I would consider the most un-loyal YSU fans, what do they bring to this board?

ice cold man, I really believe that Italian Penguin knows more about basketball at YSU than you will ever learn.
I also believe that you were unable to match wits with him and were put in your place by him countless times.

I understand there is a TV program on YSU football hosted by coach Wolford and Dana this Tuesday.

Not so fast my Boston man.  One of the problems facing students today is they are being taught by professors who are out of the loop.....the real world.  My own education process hardly related to my work.  Actually the corporation I worked for made it a point to hire college graduates and place then in areas outside of their area of study. All that most major corporations wanted out of graduates before and now is the question can the graduate preform disciplined enough to take direction and follow the corporate policy.  No doubt most universities have missed the boat.  My advice to any student is ......Get real life instruction from those professors who have worked in real life not the "namby bamby researcher" who all they do is write text books and charge huge fees to purchase textbooks good for only one year.  I undersatnd that is where the money is.

Not so fast my Bostonian man.  Jim Tressel had more than enough experience to lead.  Athletic Directorship, and coaching at a major university is no more than delegating responsibility and making sure the boys are as they say "coached up".  You handle discipline, recruiting, finances, hire/fire, plan, strategize............and of course this accomplished under pressure of 16 or more hours a day.

On a sort of personal note, our corporation hired Tressel to conduct seminars on productivity, morale, leadership. and motivation.  His presentations were right on the money and he had the corporate men wanting more of his philosophy and strategies.  Believe me he is what this university needs for the 21st century. As a another side note, I understand that close to 30% of university presidents hired are now from the corporate world.

Message to 0505, your new name is now "Doom and Gloom" as "Mr. Negative" has already been taken.  I like that.
 
Message to the rest of you, Jim Tressel (we are not a typical university - we are going reinvent ourselves to be what a university should be the 21st century. He is exactly what we need (have him sell naming rights to every door, room, hallway, street, building, sports area etc. - I hear BP is ready and willing to name the new Beegly).  YSU needs to reinvent itself as a real university not a commuter school (you should not be allowed to apply to YSU as a marginal student - go to one of the two local community schools first).  Build new buildings (get the new Nursing School building up), hire correctly (hire teachers/professors from the real world), control the unions (we are 8 million in debt - don't dare ask YSU for more money)  (run off to professors who only exist to write textbooks, and not teach), continue the emphasis on research and development (like the Siemens Project), acquire more land (close off Lincoln Ave., create the new grass mall, etc)!
 
Message to Pita, "hon" don't worry about the comments made by "Doom and Gloom", I was criticized for a long period of time for my loyalty to Coach Robic (I know you hated his foot stomping) and I still stand behind my comments made in his behalf. He was very good to me and my family.

Information below the sidewalks of 5th Avenue. Keene is not leaving. Weber way to immature to handle himself away from home....and it is spring time and love is in the air.  Time to go home for him. Wishing him well.

Count me in today. Be careful where you park because of the occasional foul balls into the parking lot and streets.
