I would only agree with using Waid over Craycraft if you have decided that Waid is now #2; otherwise you need Craycraft to take as many snaps as possible. Do not look to what might be down the road; I am talking about who comes in if Mays has to come out for a series. I do not thing Waid is your answer, so you cannot let him play for the half...this has the be Craycraft..

How many games can you play in and still keep your red shirt, 3-4? I hope that they were just letting Waid get his feet wet in a game we had a great chance of winning. Would not be surprised to see him against Robert but after that only if really needed.

Ridiculous to have that lot behind the east stands as a tailgate lot. Anything to bring in "money" for this incompetent athletic department.

I have no problem with them making some money but the trick is balance, they do not seem to have a grip on that yet. The east lot was nowhere full again, they could have easily used it to make some handicap and/or season ticket holders very happy with a special parking rate.

Agree on the special teams, extra point and punting, no excuse at our level. Thought that kick coverage was fine. Loved the two long runs, Run Forest Run. Hard to be unhappy when you score 50+. #55 on D had several nice sacks, not so nice when he took a shot at the guy, second one always get caught. Thinking he is a Freshman.

YSU Penguin Athletics / Re: Stambaugh Stadium Idea

I don't think we YSU can wait another 20+ years to bring updates to Stambaugh.  Personally, I believe its time to bring something new for the fans and improve the experience.  Possibly adding a patio area attached to the southside of the East stands.  Maybe a beer garden, local brewery (Penguin Brewing) local food (Charlie Staples) Ribs.  I am sure there is a no compete with the food service contract but just a thought.  Maybe get Pepsi involved.  Sell the idea and generate excitement for the younger crowd.  Its time to think out-of-the-box.

Not a bad idea

I walked through that lot about 10 minutes before kickoff and it was only half full. I also parked in the Wick deck.

YSU Penguin Athletics / Starting times

« on: September 05, 2019, 07:25:42 PM »

Not talking about what time is best, but what is the logic and reason for having different starting times for home football games.

Does the visiting team travel schedule come into play?

We should smash them.

I don't care about "smashing them" I want to work on things like our passing game and OL play.  These 3 weeks should be practice games tuning up for MVFC competition.

Agreed

Normally when someone makes an idiotic statement I just read it and move on.  But go guins, your comment regarding what Wick said is totally out of line.  Wick made a very interesting analysis.  Everyone is a "racist" when someone's comment or belief doesn't align with our own beliefs.  I'm so sick and tired of everyone calling everyone else a "racist."  There is so much division in this country and now I can't even read this board without someone calling someone else a "racist."

Sorry, but you guys are out of touch with today's politically correct environment.

That is a good thing.

YSU Penguin Athletics / Re: Hero sports article -Toughest schedules FCS 2019

I do not recall every team we played in the JT run and I am not going to look them up. Some MAC schools, Cincy a couple of times but that was before they stepped it up. I do recall that we played quite a few D2 schools, by today's standard it would have been more like a Twinkle schedule.

But what happened, a pretty decent title run.

Those schedules allowed us to grow as the season went along and peak at the right time. Did not have to worry about that automatic loss ( well Pitt ). You can argue that a "tough" schedule gets you ready for the play-offs, you can also argue that that a tough schedule wears you down and beats you up. Not to mention that one down week and losing to a team you should not have lost to will ruin everything.

Sure the Big game is great for the money so that may be a given for ever. I believe that JT understood what he had in talent, how to grow through the season and built a schedule to get to the playoffs just when the team peaked.

I guess that I will never understand that a YSU fan would have their game interest based on who the other team is. In my mind it should not matter who the other team is, heck YSU is playing.
