I don't get it. Beat arguably the best team in conference on the road and a solid Green Bay team, but get destroyed at home by Milwaukee & now on the road by a 4-10 team. Sheesh

You never know who will show up

Not saying that we will be going to the sweet sixteen, but it is funny how all the Slocum haters are quiet. Will go win less in the league, total of five wins yadda yadda yadda. On his way to 800!

Oh boy lol

Not saying that John Wooden's record is threatened, just making the point that some of the Slocum slamming on this board is a little over the top. Simple as that. I understand what we have.

YSU Penguin Athletics / Re: NDSU dominating Jacksonville State 37-10

« on: January 10, 2016, 03:00:00 PM »

I mean this is the easiest team NDSU had in the post-season. I am shocked JSU got in the end-zone. Worst thing ...now we drop to #2 i active team titles (4) & #3 overall behind NDSU (5) and GA Southern (6).

Who cares to be honest.

Not me, I had forgotten that the game was yesterday

YSU Penguin Athletics / Old Friends

« on: January 02, 2016, 06:14:17 PM »

I noticed that several of our old friends (that have made the move to FBS) enjoyed a bowl trip this year. Interesting that at one time all these schools played at the same level as YSU and we beat all of them but one.

Appy St, Western KY, Akron, Boise, Georgia Southern, Middle TN, Marshall and Nevada.

Also, looking at this list makes it easier to understand why NDSU is able to dominate 1AA, it is a very watered down division, not near as competitive as it was 20 years ago. Too many top programs have moved on.

I guess that I leaned to OU but really had no horse in the race, with that said I felt that the refs were bad. Seemed that Clemson got away with alot

Who do we blame ? 
Slocum
AD
President
Budget
City of Youngstown

Not just YSU, not just basketball but I would think that standard for acceptable success would be set from the top down, starting with the trustees.

We  also have a disagreement on what constitutes a "FAN". Every fan has a right to be critical and a cheerleader. There is a time for each.

And now, on with the comedy

so I take it that you have yet to find the cheer-leading side of yourself?

Good one 1AA,

YSU Penguin Athletics / Re: FCS 2015 Playoffs. Did I really see this?

« on: December 19, 2015, 08:09:17 PM »

Semi final games are duds.  They need to re-think the playoff system based on geography or what ever BS criteria.  I think for one they need to make all of FCS full scholarship and eliminate the BS teams and conferences.  Or make them ineligible for the playoffs.  I would drop it to 16 teams like it used to be.  I turned both games off early.

I'm impressed you even turned it on

YSU Penguin Athletics / Re: Penguins Pick Up Impressive 99-58 Win Over Geneva

« on: December 16, 2015, 08:17:32 PM »

As always, a tough crowd on here. Hey we beat the crap out of a team we should have beat the crap out of. Why do you want to down play it? It's a win, enjoy it people.

Let's make the Play-offs before calling others Choke U.  Nine years and counting!

Sorry but they have earned the title of Choke U over more that the last 9 years and it has nothing at all to do with how often YSU has made the play-offs.

If I cared enough ( and I do not ) I would check, to see, who has the record for most play-off appearances without a title. If they are not at the top of that list they certainty are near the top. That my friend is why they can be called Choke U.
