YSU Penguin Athletics / Re: YSU Hosts #1 South Dakota State
« on: November 12, 2023, 03:59:24 PM »33YO I'm not saying the athletic department doesn't benefit from scheduling Ohio State but what I'm saying is everyone complains when we miss the playoffs with 4 losses and are a bubble team. Well then stop scheduling guaranteed losses and schedule a cupcake game. If you recall that's what Tress did hence why we played Slippery Rock every year. Guess what though we made the playoffs every year and made an impact. Playing OSU then playing the gauntlet of this schedule equals no playoffs. You can disagree but it's the truth. Hope the money is worth it.Where do you expect this athletic department to get the $800,000 it received this year from Ohio State?
Do you know how quickly that is used up in just charter flights to other schools in the conference?
But that's the point. It's paying for expenses we wouldn't otherwise get.

AGAIN - scheduling a cupcake doesn't make a difference for us. The difference is winning the games IN CONFERENCE.

« on: November 12, 2023, 10:49:08 AM »They need to stop scheduling teams like Ohio State. Had they not scheduled that game they would be sitting with 3 losses heading into a winnable game and more than likely the playoffs. Your season shouldn't come down to having to beat the number 1 team in the country that hasn't lost since last September to Iowa and won the title last year. Consistently making the playoffs is good for recruiting not getting crushed by FBS schools but it's all about the money sadly, so hope that money was worth another year of no playoffs . Also get out of this conference. Doesn't matter how good the conference is when you get your balls beat in year in and year out. Back in the Gateway we couldn't beat Western Kentucky, Southern Illinois, and UNI. Now it's the Dakota schools. Just over the same garbage year in and year out.
Sorry, but you're wrong on multiple fronts here. First, athletics benefits from scheduling games like Ohio State because of the big pay day. From an athletic department our size, we need pay days. Second, we're not making the playoffs because of our in conference record and lack of quality wins, not because we lost to Ohio State. That's just completely and utterly silly. You think suddenly if we took Ohio State off the schedule and won against a cupcake that we'd make the playoffs? Absolutely not. It comes down to winning the games you need to win, I.e. Northern Iowa and South Dakota. Period.

Why in the world are you passing on third down there? Run the ball and let the clock run.

The clown head coach who thinks he's a Tressel prodigy makes me want to puke too. His BS talk of calling them "young men" makes me want to smash my head against the wall.
Go find another team to root for.

Add another one to the list... we added EJ Farmer from Toledo. 6'5" 175
Averaged 6 points and 2 rebounds for Toledo this year.

YSU Penguin Athletics / YSU extends Calhoun
« on: March 29, 2023, 12:27:28 PM »
College basketball insider Jon Rothstein is reporting Youngstown State men's basketball coach Jerrod Calhoun has signed a five year contract extension through the 2027-28 season.
Calhoun led the Penguins to 24 wins and their first Horizon League regular season championship and was the conference's coach of the year.
Since 1981-82, Calhoun has been the architect of four straight winning seasons and over the last four seasons have won 76 games which set a school record for most wins over a four year span.
In six seasons at YSU, Calhoun is 96-96.

YSU Penguin Athletics / Re: Do we make the Playoffs? Schedule is favorable
« on: October 28, 2022, 08:31:36 AM »Some did and are doing fine
Really? And who might they be?
Let's look at the Top 25 and when their HC started
1. South Dakota State - 1997
2. Montana State - 2021
3. Sacramento State - 2018
4. North Dakota State - 2019
5. Jackson State - 2020
6. Chattanooga - 2018
7. Weber State - 2014
8. Holy Cross - 2018
9. Incarnate Word - 2022
10. Montana - 2018
11. Delaware - 2022
12. William & Mary - 2019
13. Samford - 2015
14. Southeast Missouri State - 2014
15. Fordham - 2018
16. Mercer - 2020
17. Rhode Island - 2014
18. UT Martin - 2006
19. Stephen F. Austin - 2019
20. Richmond - 2017
21. Austin Peay - 2021
22. Princeton - 2010
23. Idaho - 2022
24. Southern Illinois - 2016
25. New Hampshire - 2022
TWO coaches in the Top 25 started in 2020. TWO. One of them is Deion Sanders... who, his brand alone, sells. So if you take Sanders out of the equation, ONE head coach hired in 2020 has his team in the Top 25.

No... the point people are making is he was a BRAND NEW HC when Covid hit, so he couldn't even learn the job properly because of all the bs. Not every team in the FCS had new coaches during this time... you clearly missed the point.

YSU Penguin Athletics / Re: NDSU Game Thread
« on: October 03, 2022, 04:13:31 PM »
Before waving the white flag on this team because of a halfway respectable loss to NDSU, let's judge them on their next slate of games...
vs. North Dakota (3-2)
vs. Indiana State (1-3)
@ Western Illinois (0-5)
vs. South Dakota (1-3)
@ Illinois State (2-2)
@ Missouri State (2-3)
vs. Southern Illinois (3-2)
We have a fairly decent stretch where we SHOULD win some ballgames... I see no reason why we can't win maybe 3-4 of those. Now, if they completely lay eggs against the likes of Western Illinois, Indiana State, and South Dakota... then panic and start calling for some BIG changes. But let's see what happens during what should be the easy part of the schedule.
And for the record... not a Crenshaw fan either.
