Ok Guys, You guys will easily win the next few games and NDSU will beat ILL St.
So Lets talk the big #1 vs #5 game on Nov 16th. (jinx are for no-hitters!)
NDSU should still have the upper hand with seniority & ability to just win!
YSU is surprising people with a great year & look to get back on top of the MVFC!
(We have a group coming down to Youngstown, and should be a good contingent of NDSU fans) so where shall we party on Friday night?
-
Easy there killer
-
Nobody in Youngstown, players or fans, will pay the slightest attention to NDSU until Sunday, November 10, one day after the game against UNI.
-
True--now we are focused on South Dakota,they are a much improved team that has beaten UNI and lost to us last year by only 3 points when they were 1-10.Some of their posters believe that we are unworthy of our high ranking--we will find out this Saturday.
-
South dakota is horrible I promise you crush them....UNI got demoralized by ndsu they are a shell of thier former selves.
So where should we party at friday night in your lovely city?

You will want probably want to stay in Boardman. I recommend eating at the following places:
1. MVR -this is located downtown near the university. It is a local YSU hangout. It will be packed but the food is excellent italian food.
2. Inner Circle Pizza and Wings-This is located near the hotels in Boardman. Excellent wings and pizza and they also sell draft pitchers that are priced well.
3. Antones-If you are in Y-town you have to eat the italian food. One of the best places in the country for Italian foods. Thier cavatelli is the best IMOP.
4. You need to top it off with some Handel's ice cream. They have been veted best ice cream in America in many circles and they also hold the world records for busiest ices cream stand.
Most people will be attending HS football games on Friday nights. It is a big deal in Y-town. I would say that is what most will be doing.
-
Thanks for suggestions...probably just grabbing a hotel by the mall? No idea where boardman is.
Any clubs that we won't get shot at? Privledged club?

The mall is in Boardman lol..... Head downtown. Couple clubs down there
-
If you end up in Boardman, and have any craft beer or wine drinkers with you, check out Vintage Estate Wine & Beer or Magic Tree Pub on South Avenue.

Club Utopia may be fitting for you... Exit north of the hotels in Boardman. ;D
-
All of the suggested places are good places to go.. but they are not YOUNGSTOWN besides the MVR Club...if you are looking for what Youngstown is all about then you need to hit the greatest dive bar in town and eat the double charred raspberry wings or the best ribs in town at the Royal Oaks on Oak Street on the East Side. It is in a shady neighborhood but the place is safe...nobody messes with the owners...it is in no way a classy place or does it pretend to be...Johnny and Louie..the owners are true YTOWNERS and will be great hosts. The new bars downtown are also good places...but the Oaks is YOUNGSTOWN...can't wait for the game..hopefully we are gracious hosts.
GO GUINS
-
Hopefully the Royal Oaks kitchen will reopen soon --they have been fixing the roof for weeks and I'm suffering from ribs withdrawal.The ribs and all of their food is outstanding and as peteonastick says it does not pretend to be a classy place (the toilet on the sidewalk is a prime example.)
-
Sweet suggestions! we can talk football once this game gets closer!!
we bringing a couple ladies, so we cant hit club utopia...lol club privledge'd maybe.... but yes a good beer, burger and sports talk is what we will probably just do.
-
Don't forget the Golden Dawn. Good Pizza and can't beat the Schooners.
-
Hey Bison , you are welcome to join our tailgate. We are located in M-24 lot down by the exit by Taco Bell. Large white tent. We will be there @ 8:00 A.M.

Privledge has been closed for a while I believe, and rightfully so. It was an awful place.
Downtown has some nice places. It has a variety of types of bars, for anyone in your party. Friday nights downtown usually aren't too busy though.
There have been a lot of good suggestions so far. Royal Oaks is something to experience. My first time there, I remember I was like wtf?.. But its a very neat place and have been back multiple times since. I go to Vintage Estates in Boardman a lot, over 1,000 different beer choices (awesome flatbread pizza there too, great service as well). Its a very impressive place, and usually have local musicians playing on Friday nights. Within walking distance of most hotels in Boardman as well.

We will be setup in M-7 (because we needed alcohol permit?) Can u drink in M-24 ? Can we walk around with a drink in a cup? Happy & karll we will do that!

Yeah you can drink in both lots. Walk around with a cup is fine within the lot, but you cant take the cup between the 2.
-
Ok. Sooo. 2 girls 1 cup 1 lot....got it 8)

I have no idea what you mean? They are fine german women....ooooo wait. Haha. Just kidding!
Yea I think our group is about 75 but we will swing by & say hi!!! Its coming up soon, just win your next 2 games!!
-
Local fargo radio talkshow is already pimping this thread and game! Don't let us down silly penquins!
-
Ok, 1 more win and we have a conference championship game and #1 vs #5 matchup!!
-
Looks like 150 fans at BisoNation tailgate!!! Hope to meet a few of you....!
http://www.ndsualumni.com/netcommunity/Youngstown
I'm hoping for 500-750 fans!!
-
Strollo will be on the phone the next few days with the "powers that be" trying to convince them to set the starting time for the OSU - Illinois game at 7:00.
-
Thats a deal breaker for youngstown fans? Would a 11am start hurt as well?
NDSU doesn't have to worry about Minnesota...haha

It does matter, as does Notre Dame.
Just count the D1 schools in Ohio vs. ND...we're competing against a lot. Not only in viewership but in recruiting as well.
Pitt is far closer but no one seems to care about them.
-
NDSU has how many D1 schools in the state?.. 2 maybe?.. both FCS..
YSU has 10+ (I'm too lazy to make a list and count all of them).
And OSU has as big a following as any school in the nation to boot.
-
Just 1 D1 team thats worth a crap plus Minnesota/Wisconsin/Iowa/Nebraska wqlk on programs are ndsu biggest recruiting rival.
So does a 11am start hurt ndsu/ysu attendence ?
-
11 am I don't think would effect a 2 o'clock game too much, only problem is that I don't think they'll ever play earlier than noon. I've never seen any NCAA game before 12 noon in fact.
Noon is the best case scenario I'm thinking right now, only because I know its very unlikely the game will be later than 4 o'clock considering its not a big game for the Bucks at all.
-
lake - Very few games in the Eastern Time Zone start before Noon and I don't recall even having a Noon start (maybe the Black Friday playoff game vs Alcorn State and McNair started that early?)
I understand you guys get some 11 a.m. starts in the Central Time Zone for Noon Eastern TV.
Its clearly a different dynamic at YSU. Ohio State is a unique animal in this state. There are many graduates of schools other than Ohio State that build their day around watching Ohio State. From YSU grads to small school grads.
-
Ok. 2 questions. Is rock n roll hall of fame worth seeing? Or should we goto canton instead on a fri afternoon? Or both
-

I have never been impressed with the HOT personally.
-

If the spirit of football, I'd go to the football HOF.. But both are interesting places to visit. If you could fit both in I would definitely do that. Since you're from so far away I would try to fit both in, you wouldn't regret it at all. It might be tough to do, but if you make it to one early, might be doable.
Football HOF hour are 9-5, Rock and Roll is 10-5:30. They don't stay open late.
-
Ok. 2 questions. Is rock n roll hall of fame worth seeing? Or should we goto canton instead on a fri afternoon? Or both
I think both are great. Music buffs in your party could spend the entire day at the Rock Hall, and the same goes for your big NFL fans in Canton.
-
If you love rock and roll, one can spend the entire day in the Rock and Roll HOF. I believe there is a two-attraction pass that covers both.

YSU has 10+ (I'm too lazy to make a list and count all of them).
And OSU has as big a following as any school in the nation to boot.
So there are 10 D1 schools, your population is 11.5 million to our 700,000. Gives you a 1 million+ per school average while ours is 350,000.

Just curious if you might know this...how many ND natives are playing at the FBS level this year? I suppose you can count Minnesota if you want 8)
-
Happy. FBS? 1 Conner McGovern Missouri
But NDSU is 50% Minnesota so you wanna count FBS kids from Minnesota? 100 at least then
-
49-14 Final................. And not the Good Guys............... Hope im wrong..............

Sorry to temporarily lock this topic, but if I hear about fricken NDSU again I will puke. Lake you are a troll, stop pushing this damn thread back to the top.

YSU Hall of Fame Game
#1 North Dakota State
@ #10 Youngstown State (will update once rankings change)
(Since the other thread has been locked for no apparent reason, I wanted to get another one started up)
-A NDSU win gives them the Missouri Valley Conference Championship.
-A YSU win seals a playoff spot and gives them the opportunity to be co-champs in the Valley if they also beat SDSU to end the season.
At Stambaugh, these two teams have met only twice. In 2008, YSU beat at the time #2 NDSU 28-24. In 2010, YSU kicked a FG with less than a minute left to go up 29-28. After a huge kickoff return, it only took a few plays for NDSU to gash the YSU defense and defeat YSU 35-29.
Also yesterday's loss will likely eliminate the likelihood of 20,000 for this game, I still expect a larger crowd and a great atmosphere for this one. It is not too often that you get to see the #1 team in the FCS play, a team that could easily be ranked in the FBS Top 25.
Coach Tressel will be on hand for this one as he will be inducted into the YSU Hall of Fame. Weather 6 days out looks good. Around 52 degrees and partly cloudy.
GO YOUNGSTOWN!!!
-
Regardless of the loss yesterday, we are 8-2 and WE NEED A BIG CROWD. Get people in the seats and show this team your support! They deserve it.
-
I will unlock it. I was just tired of reading about a game several weeks away that was not very high on the list of "must-wins". Until now.
-
Although I will wander into my seat as usual, I have very little interest in this upcoming game. How do you compete against a team with a superlative defense when your defense is bottom one-third, perhaps even bottom one-fourth in the country? You can't. Wolford had four years to construct at least a better than average defense. He failed. His inability to recruit good players on the defensive side of the ball is, regrettably, his hallmark characteristic as a head coach.

Wolford inherited a terrible team. Has improved every single year! Will more than likely go to the playoffs this year. He had to reshape this whole program after Heacock destroyed it. We are 8-2. With our FIRST FCS loss this on Saturday. We are still a top 25 team right now. All this bashing is disappointing.....

Yes it is disappointing, but what critcizm is deserved is game preparation by coaches and players. The coaching staff did not adjust to a team that was struggling in atleast 2 phases of the game last night. I don't blame the defense as much as the offense and special teams. The issue that I have with the defense is preserving the lead on the last drive, but how could we expect that when they have not been able to demonstrate it in 3+ years. The offense was struggling and the OC did not change it up. The game plan was good if no mistakes are madeN but the conservative play calling killed us. We did not flex our muscles on offense when we needed to and the O is what defines this team.
-
Definitely Power. I'm not saying dont criticize the game yesterday, but we are still a very good team and the team deserves to have fan support these last 2 home games. People acting like its dooms day is just ludicrous.

I agree. It is only one game at the FCS level, but it was a bad loss because of UNI's record and could be significant in the eyes of the selection committee. That is what stings the most. The odds of winning the next two are lower than the odds were of beating UNI. I think that is what really doesn't sit well with me. But I agree with you. This isn't doomsday, UNI was a good team and we never got off the bus.
-
Thanks for new thread, I guess they frowned upon me trying to pimp this matchup a few weeks ago.
We are bringing a fun crew and will meet you guys in tailgate and maybe somewhere friday night!!
As for the game, extremely disappointed you lost to UNI. We hate the panthers!!
LB Olson will not play
CB M will will play
WR Ryan smith will play.
Littlejohn will become MLB and esley Thornton will take his spot.
Let's have some fun and enjoy a great battle next week!!
-
Ok we are excited for this roadtrip....we can talk game strategy on other thread and keep this informative roadtrip questions.
Friday night...
Best Italian food=
then coolest sports bar =
-
I-AAFan, can you merge the topic I started with this one and we can go from there. No point in having two threads going.
Weather is looking terrific for Saturday! Latest forecast is 50 degrees and MOSTLY SUNNY!
-
The last two times we have played NDSU we have given up a TD on a trick play. Last game they ran a flea flicker when they were only up. 1 one score ( if I recall the score correctly). My point is that they always run a single trick play against us and catch our inept defense off guard. The data indicates we bite on most trick plays. The defense needs to be prepared for this. The NDSU coaching staff probably has a check box on their game plan to run one play like this. This is 7 points we need to stop unlike years past.
-
I'm looking for a good game. And looking for it to be close, no matter who wins.
-
We are doing our part on social media to get people fired up. If you have a Facebook or Twitter, please post this picture or make it your profile picture! Let's hope to god our marketing department does more than what they have done thus far for this game.... Which is little to nothing. No excuse for not getting 18k+ for this one.
BEAT NDSU!
(http://i42.tinypic.com/zv8nza.jpg)
-
NDSU pulled 1 trick last game...but we usually save them for playoffs.
Yea lets sell this thing out.... you all want me to go on ysu facebook and talk some smack and entice them to come??? You know...like a dunk tank participant?? Haha.
I still need. Friday night eating establishment & sports bar. Thanks for the help guys!
-
The pessimistic clown that is the AD isnt worried about attendance so why would his staff? I dont personally know the guy but comments he makes to the media are crazy... When Scalzo asked him about the upcoming crowd a week ago he responds by saying "I dont think it will be largest crowd as we dont have the corporate support of ticket purchases". Are you kidding me? Why not plead for the local support and ask the community to support its local team? Now, if it is a big turnout he can claim all the responsibility and justify his overstaffing........
-
totally agree with you good news, an AD should be pimping at all times. does AD or Coach have incentives for capacity of tickets sold? NDSU does....
-
Lakebison, for Italian food I suggest Elmton. Simple place but great food. For a sports bar with Italian food I suggest LaVilla. Better TV's. They are close to each other. If you are at the Tiffany hotels in Boardman it is an easy drive. You can give me a call at 330-881-4***, I will stop by and guide you to those places.
-
Yea in board man. Elmton was a recommend from a PM . Is there a fun sports bar on Friday night to hit?
We doing both hall of fames (nfl & rock n roll)
-
If in Cleveland go to Rock Bottom Brewery.

Truck: I just maskedyour phone number. Too many crazies around that would abuse your phone number. If you click on his name you can send him a private message. The response will be up top where it says "My Messages".
-
yea IAA fan. i was wondering that too.. sounds like a plan guys.
rock bottom brewery is a national chain right? (there's one in minneapolis)
Sounds like MLB Grant Olson is out and CB M-Will is day to day.... WR Ryan Smith will play.
-
rock bottom brewery is a national chain right? (there's one in minneapolis)
Yes - very much a national chain.
Don't get to Cleveland much these days, but a stop at the Winking Lizard is usually in order for us - near Progressive Field. My guess is there are better places that those back in Ohio will recommend.
-
what will be the pysche' of the YSU team on saturday?
a pissed off team from the loss at UNI
a "Oh well, shucks" team that is facing the #1 team in nation.
what say you.
-
What's this smack? Doesn't even make sense http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=MXgVKP8oW8s&client=mv-google&gl=US&hl=en&guid=

Well when your own athletic department can't/won't promote your games I
guess any attempt beats nothing.
-
Scarlet...ok. sounds good..just was curious.
I was talking with 2 players today, they really want to get the ground game going before playoffs (ndsu passed a lot last 2 games)

Didn't know that, but like the building they were in. Old, brick in the flats.

Bison:
If what I heard is correct, you may see more YouTube videos like the one in question.
Student productions so take them with a grain of salt.
Some students are trying to pump up their own via social media so I give them
my hats off for trying.

I swear if we have a lead at the half we swap our playbook for a classic Klacik play pamphlet
-
ND St has opened as a 14 1/2 point favorite.
-
Yea on 5dimes....they always open with NDSU as a ridiculous number because during the last 2 years a lot of us gamblers at ndsu just CRUSHED on them....now they learned their lesson and they come out very high...because they know ndsu fans will beat so they need to entice the other side to even thier money out
I'm gonna wait til game day to bet and see where it goes.
-
In response to the 14-1/2 poll. I am skeptic, I'll admit, but 14-1/2 Points is A WAY big stretch of someone's imagination. Can't believe our team will let that happen.
GO Penguins!!!

Klacik is missing a chromosome. He was by far the worst OC in the history of YSU and possibly all of football.

Inner Circle in Canfield is pretty nice. I go to Quench a lot, it is right down the road from the mall in Boardman.
-
Blue Wolf Tavern is nice off of 224 going towards Canfield. There is a Buffalo Wild Wings in the mall, that's nice. Like Stuperman said Inner Circle in Canfield is nice as well. Try out Brickhouse Tavern on Midlothian Rd in Youngstown. Nice place that opened a couple months ago.

Hey Lakes Bison
Whatever bar you go to you may get the extra added attractions of meeting the former
MIDDLEWEIGHT CHAMPION OF THE WORLD!!!!!!!!! KELLLLLLLLYYYYYYY PAVVVVVVVLLLLLIIIIIIIKKKKKK
LET'S GET READY TO DRINNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK

Ahhh. I'm Sanctioned as a lightweight....so I can't show him my quick jab.!!
Ok cool yea we staying by boardman mall, but will travel for a good party atmosphere. Oh 8am drinking Saturday will come quick
-
Ok the spring field grill is the spot....even though on tripadvisor outback is ranked #10....embarassing
-
YSU reporting just over 10,000 tickets sold which is terrible. This valley has really been overrated as a great sports town. Great sports towns support the teams in the area. Not here. It is not just YSU. Have you seen all of the empty stands at H.S. football games over the last few years? Lets hope that the few that attend the game saturday are our best screaming fans. Go Guins!
-
YSU 24-23. Cejudo with the game winner.
-
Plenty of bison fans at mpls airport. .. looking forward to this roadtrip...hope you guys have enough beer!

@DanaBalash21: @21WFMJSports At the end of business Friday, 11,400 tickets sold for North Dakota State -Youngstown State football game.
Hoping to see 14k there tomorrow. Still think walk up will be very big. Weather is going to be outstanding.
-
Lakes bison....welcome to Youngstown.
They are all wearing OSU shirts because...you are in OHIO!!!
Goes with the territory.
Do hope you and all your fans enjoy your visit. Visit M24 lot, everyone will welcome you
and your fans.
Hopefully you don't go home happy. Sorry, have to be honest, it's how I was raised.
Thanks for coming.
GO PENGINS!!!!
-
Hellz ya. 9am? Magic hat is where we be at
-
Lakes - probably the only city in Ohio that isn't overwhelmingly Ohio State is Cincinnati. And there are a lot of Buckeye fans there as well.
Youngstown, Kent, Akron doesn't matter - OSU comes first with most people. its part of the challenges of selling tickets. The local school is the #2 school in most of the state and people would rather stay home and watch the Buckeres on TV. You will see a lot more Ohio State garb this weekend outside of the game. People love a winner at the highest level - and that's tO$U.
As Pita said, enjoy your visit, spend lots of money, travel safe but go home unhappy with the result. :)
-
We buying beers back and forth at odonnells with ysu fans.....good discussions and hopefully a good crowd tomorrow. Cya at tailgate
-
Ok finished the night at V 2 .....your downtown is stimulused...... Time for tailgating meet you guys in the lots.... Nice meeting you Jason last night...whoever you are on the board....haha
M7 is the NDSU tailgate....swing by. Otherwise, we will hit up M24 and McDonald's !!
Good luck and remember....WIN OR LOSE........WE STILL BOOZE!
-
Great tailgate!! Nice to meet some of u
-
Looks like a pathetic crowd again. Really? maybe a few thousand.
-
Nobody's going to show up knowing the outcome. We've faltered the past three years down the stretch!

The local school is the #2 school in most of the state and people would rather stay home and watch the Buckeres on TV. You will see a lot more Ohio State garb this weekend outside of the game. People love a winner at the highest level - and that's tO$U.
As Pita said, enjoy your visit, spend lots of money, travel safe but go home unhappy with the result. :)
I am not happy about it, have never had any interest in osu but you have pretty much hit the nail on the head.

NDSU won the FCS championship...again...and now after winning the Summit in MBB is in the big dance. Earlier in the season they beat Notre Dame in South Bend.
NDSU has an enrollment of 14.6K (YSU 12.8K), so its not that much bigger than YSU. I don't buy the argument that recruitment is easier for NDSU. They are in a less densely populated region in which top talent is recruited by Nebraska amongst others.
What makes their Athletic Department so superior to ours?

It is called being the bigger of only 2 colleges (DI) in the state. Who cares about recruiting. It is called government funds. On a per-capita basis, they get more money than OSU. Ohio has Akron, Ohio, Ohio State, Cincinnati, Toledo, Bowling Green, Miami, Youngstown State, Dayton, Cleveland State, and Kent State. Also- Xavier and Wright State. Still seems like I am forgetting a couple.

We lost to NDSU at a neutral site last season in overtime, so I figure that our basketball program is quite similar. Remember that the Summit League is much weaker. They can win without top tier Horizon League caliber talent.
IAA Fan's point about state funding is important. I don't know the specifics about North Dakota, but it is highly likely that they fund their two universities at a much higher rate than Ohio. Private oil money could also factor into the equation. Incidentally IAA Fan, Dayton and Xavier are Catholic schools that get no state funding, but your point about the volume of state schools is accurate.

I think you will find that both schools (St. X and UD) get more government (at least state of Ohio) dollars than YSU. I would have to do some research. I know that that recently, several Catholic Universities banned together in opposition to Obama administration regulations and the answer was "no" because of the money they received. The schools argued tax-exemption was not funding, but the state money was direct. I do know that in the mid-1900's Catholic K-12 schools were in financial peril and the Government started to fund them & they did not want some of the inner-city youth to be unleashed on an overburdened public system. With nuns, brothers and priest teaching with no salaries or benefits ...it was much less expensive to keep the parochial K-12 schools opened.

I'm almost 100% positive that OSU gets no government funding at all, due to their lack of need for it. They're very profitable, whereas most universities' athletic departments around the country lose money every single year. There are only a handful of athletic departments that are actually in the black.

IAA Fan, I don't want to argue over something that I care little about, but the state of Ohio gives no money to private colleges. Students at those places can receive government financial aid, which is why those institutions must abide by certain standards. But a direct subsidy like a state school....no.
On the K-12 level, the state government gives nothing to Catholic schools, except for bus transportation. You are thinking about the voucher programs that enable kids in dysfunctional public schools to attend a private alternative. Many use those vouchers for Catholic schools. That is the source of confusion about this topic. There is no direct state aid to Catholic schools.

I see what you mean Wick. None the less, being the only fish in the sea has huge advantages for NDSU & UND.
Thanks for the good info Observer:
I just went to the state of ND: annual appropriations are:
323,043,595 for UND
211,013,140 NDSU
now we do not know how much of this went to athletics, but clearly the $$$ are 4 and 6 times more plentiful in the plain states :)
