Any word on when practice starts for the spring football?
-
I guess there is no word
-
The Vindicator today had a brief article about FCS spring football. With Indiana State opting out, the MVFC intends to redo the entire schedule sometime this week. The goal, I guess, is to have each of the ten remaining teams play eight games. This means that we might, or might not, start the season at NDSU in five weeks. It would be really helpful if YSU kept us informed.
-
More info coming soon
-
Practice starts on the 22nd.
Right now they are talking about letting in limited fans. Prob around 3-4k.

Limited? That sounds like typical Saturday attendance to me Lol
-
Another question, which I think I know the answer to, will they allow tailgating? I don't see it happening.

Spring Home Schedule:
-
Looking forward to QB competition Craycraft, Waid & Crenshaw. This should be interesting. Craycraft & Waid both have some playing time and Crenshaw comes in highly rated. Talked to a person who saw him play in a state semifinal game and he said he was amazing. However it works out one of them will probably be gone in the fall.

"LIMIT?" As screwed up as this whole process has been, they'll be damn lucky to get 3,000 fans.
-
I'm hearing Craycraft will start, Waid inconsistent throwing the ball. But Waid will be used in many roles; QB, RB, Tight end. Waid is big and strong and can be used in many ways. TE Miles Joiner has left the program.
WE need to get more consistent QB play to compete in this conference. I hear good things about Coach Phillips practices and the players buying into the new coaching staff. I still think it will be a rough spring, going to take a couple years to get this turned around.
But I think Phillips has a chance, he understands recruiting and will commit the time needed.

Any words on the assessment on Crenshaw?

Unfortunately, I believe your comment about needing "a couple years to get this turned around" is correct. AND the importance of recruiting. Certainly the large group of juniors and even seniors brought in from other programs says DP knows he doesn't have the talent to compete. The Lack of OL he was given is embarrassing.
Crips, I don't know if he had enough players to even field an OL. Bo was doing to our OL what he apparently did to the LSU defense.
Did anyone notice that BP got multi-million dollar job, took it, screwed it us so bad they set records of ineptitude, got fired but took the money and is doing God knows what, while DP has yet to coach his first game!

Yes I’m curious too. I think Crenshaw is going to see a lot of playing time this spring. He’s the highest rated QB recruit I can remember coming to YSU.
-
Crenshaw is definitely the highest rated QB to attend YSU, but if you watch his HS tapes from HS, or read what DP has to say about him, his throwing is at best "questionable" and "needs a lot of work". My hope is he becomes the best TB recruit at YSU in many seasons! We have a TON of QB's and not much to look at at TB. I assume the way we got such a highly rated prospect is everybody else says "TB my boy, you don't throw well enough for QB" and we said "we'll give you a full shot at QB", which means we'll have to wait until the light goes on in Mr. Crenshaw's head!
-
I think that if we move Crenshaw to TB he is gone. I hope not but he can go to a good FBS program to play TB. He is here to play QB. Hopefully the coaching staff can work out the issues with his passing.

Watch his footwork in this tape. He is so bad, you need to start over from scratch. Kid has great talent as a runner, maybe Sunday talent. If he HAS to play QB, maybe he can try Slippery Rock? We has a run only QB here a few years ago that couldn't throw, and he ended up with all league honors at "The Rock"

There are days through the lock down, etc. I kind of miss palidan. Maybe he's cleaned up his negativity and we should give him another shot? NOT!!!

Only 2 games on the schedule with teams east of the Mississippi, really hurts the interest.

I have a 3 letter answer to this problem. (which exists most years) OVC.

My first choice most likely will never happen so either the OVC or the CAA would be a much better choice, interest wise, then where we are now.

Both the OVC and the CAA have odd number of teams so we could balance somebody else.
It just seems to me that at the Dakota and west travel doesn't make good for rivalries and the one sport deal really sucks. We apparently want to be part of the #1 1AA football conference, but as a bottom dweller in the conference. IMO, saying "we were beaten by the best", isn't much of a claim to fame!

For the record my thoughts have nothing to do with the strength of our league, our goal should always be to win the league we are in and run the table to win the NC. Early on the teams in our league were ok but with the western movement that has occurred my interest has waned.

We find ourselves members of this football-only FCS league primarily because the gutless NCAA did not have the courage to enforce their own rules. On paper the requirement for FBS membership is an average of 15,000 fans, butts in seats, at your games. Proper enforcement would have relegated all the Ohio MAC schools, except Toledo, to FCS status. But no. The NCAA allowed nonentities like Akron first to lie about attendance and then actually have that university "buy" tickets to their own freakin' games and count that farce. We should be members of an Ohio-dominant FCS all-sports MAC conference.
As far as the MVFC, the problem with expansion to the west, in addition to obvious geographic distance, is the fact that it forces members to compete with the primary state institutions in North Dakota and South Dakota. Those two schools have unlimited resources compared to the members of the old Gateway conference. In fact, a school like Western Illinois is actually struggling to keep their doors open.

Good post, I agree with all of it!
