YSU Penguin Athletics / Re: FCS final
« on: January 07, 2024, 10:43:14 PM »
Most of the SDSU All-Americans or all-conference players have used up their eligibility. Also, the announcers today said that the stud running back is declaring for the NFL draft. And there is a rumor that the SDSU OC is heading to the big time and likely to take the quarterback with him. I don't mean to downplay the gap between them and us. It is formidable. But they will not be as dominant next season.

The "professionalization" of college sports might end up helping us more than it hurts us. We have seen the last of  the FCS super teams. Under the new rules, all of those SDSU stars would have been gobbled up by the P5 and paid much more than SDSU could handle. You will never again see legitimate pro prospects playing in the FCS as seniors; they will all be stolen and paid very well after one or two seasons at our level.

Our Penguin Collective NIL won't shield us from raids, but it will give us an advantage over 90% of FCS schools who have nothing.

I think this post is prescient.  I took believe that this is what will happen.  It's more pronounced in baseball right now (my opinion based on impact to the sport with a smaller number of players on a team vs football).  I have personal knowledge in this area.  In baseball they expect the D2 kids that should have been D1 to move up and the D1 kids that should have been D2 to move down, sort of a natural reshuffling of the sport that wouldn't have happened if coaches and recruiting services had gotten it right in the recruiting process).

I think the same thing will happen in FCS, less the kids that are loyal to a program or a program that can actually win a national title.

Bill I did some research they are retaining 18-20 guys I guess that could have left?  They want a 3 peat .  Another thing The rabbits didn’t have a NIL.  They just started a collective recently.

Yes but they lose a lot of 6th year seniors

SDSU was the best team in the FCS.  They lose a lot next year.  But it appears that we did as well.

Yes he does have issues to work out.  An NCAA basketball tournament berth and first round win would be more exposure for YSU than all 4 FCS titles combined. FCS is irrelevant to everyone but us fools that follow it for our schools.

Why basketball sucks.  First, the court dimensions and hoop height are very small for the sizes of the player today.  Many of these players don't even need to actually jump to get the ball in the hoop.  It's like watching young kids playing with an adjustable hoop and lowering it to play.  Something needs to be done about this in my opinion.  Secondly the f***ing horns are so annoying.  Third, the contact isn't like football and boxing, it's glorified soccer with a lot of acting (constantly ). Finally, of the game is close, which is what you want to see. The last 5 minutes, which lasts approximately 1 hours, is just painful to watch.  The end of the games are dragged out with fouling etc.  if it was a contact sport running into or hitting someone wouldn't be considered a foul.

It's a non-contact sport.

You're complaining.... about a horn? Good grief, we're reached a new level of stupid.

The horn is annoying and the reason the penalty flag was invented in football

Basketball is a contact sport.  What do you mean contact?  Last time I seen a game they are physical and body each other.

It's not a contact sport. It's ghey. Football and Boxing are Men's sports.  Basketball is for the beta males.

I don't understand the hostility between football-centric and basketball-centric YSU fans. Just enjoy that both teams are now successful, and the women gave us a decade of quality before that program collapsed this season.

On the matter of being a basketball school and basketball gaining national notoriety, Calhoun is not building the foundation for long-term dominance. By bringing in a batch of senior/grad student transfers each year, he is striving to advance to the big time. When he leaves, probably after this season, he will take Lovelace and the 7-footer with him. The next coach will barely have enough bodies to place a team on the court. That is not something that happens at a basketball school.

I absolutely despise basketball.  It's an awful sport.  I only like contact sports like Football and Boxing.

Immediate help will come from the transfers, not these young kids. If internet postings are accurate, we have several new faces for the secondary within the transfer group. Here is the big question: Does it really matter who we recruit on defense if we are stuck with the same defensive coaching staff?

Good point Wick. If we don’t improve on the defensive scheme next year, I don’t think any recruits will make any difference.

I don’t think our secondary talents were as bad as the statistics had shown. IMO, instead, they were actually the victims of a poor defensive scheme. In my past posting, I kept going back to the game that we tried to cover the best receiver in the MVFC with single coverage the entice game. Our poor cornerback kept getting burned over and over and the receiver had a career day. The secondary was made even more vulnerable by our inability to put pressure on the opposing QB.

I don’t think Brungard will be our future QB. This has nothing to do with his talent, I am just trouble believing that if he is, why would us not let him try to throw the ball? Oh, worse than that, we were having him return punts while he was the backup QB in the game.

On another hand, we are supposed to be a football college and yet, currently, our MBB is almost ranked in the top 100 in D1. I don’t think our football team is anywhere closed to be ranked in the top 100 nationwide.


Go penguins.

For the record, as of December 9 in the Sagarin Ratings, YSU is #123. We are #10 in FCS. We are rated higher than six MAC schools. Kent State is rated the worst FBS team in the country; Akron fifth from the bottom. SDSU is #28 (probably higher now after their semi-final win.)


Great points.  This is what I've been trying to say all year.  That being said, I'm concerned that the DL will be an issue next year.

Ore defensive linemen please

1. I like to say this was a big, defensive struggle, but quite honestly two of the most inept offenses I’ve ever seen.. I mean North Dakota stayed as bad as they were on defense held the grizzlies to three and out for an entire quarter and a half and we’re only able to put six points on the board to field goalsm
2 that announcer is the worst announcer I have heard hidden so long I can’t stand to listen to them. I have to turn it off and take a break. He’s making this into like the greatest game ever played. It is the worst game of the season for both teams.

We just picked up an outstanding NT in the portal.

Albany has a great QB, they said he will be POY or Frosh of the year for sure. already won it for the CAA.  Albany stomped Villanova. I think it was 34-3. last night was just Just a bad environment for them

Wrong.  They were completely overmatched on the LOS and they lacked speed.  I would suspect that if Villanova played them 10 times they would win 8 of them.

Not a good showing so far for sure!

As bad as we played SDSU , we aren't as inept as Albany.  How did they win so many games.  Their QB is not good

We did look better then UA is looking tonight. It is too easy to not give YSU more credit.



So 35-0 at the half, time to look for a good Christmas movie, is Die Hard on?

42 -0 with 14:23 left in the 3rd



59-0 the final.  They could have put 100 on them
