Its all in good spirit, but should not happen.
It will be almost impossible to stop it at this point though, so I tolerate it.
A very reasonable post, best of luck to you and your team in the playoffs.

If the solution was simple I have no doubt that our marketing dept would have done it by now. I believe that there are multiple issues that affect attendance and in no particular order -
population loss in the greater Ytown area
bulk of students still commute and have to work, hard to justify going back to campus on a free day
less students then years ago
price of tickets - slam the ones who will come anyway or lower price in hopes of getting more to come
game time, pick a single starting time that is easier to plan around
osu
win, not only number of wins but folks want to feel confident they will see YSU kick butt that day

Go, Nation and a couple of others, nice posts. Seems that they have been doing this so long that they just cannot see through it and understand what they are really doing. Some eluded to the fact that they have a "right" to do it. It is correct they do have that right, heck this is a great country, but to try and use that as an argument to justify doing it, sounds like something my kids tried when they were little.
Maybe not a major deal in the greater scheme of things, but it does reflect badly on them and their school and they do not understand it.
Time to move on.

Not so sure about this "more patriotic claim" I have sat at a lot of games over the past 40 or so years with teams from quite a few different states and today was the first time I was offended during that song. For now you rank about 50th.
I will say this one last time, who won the game has nothing to with this thread, rather simple.
Best of luck to you and your team the rest of the season.
BTW - I know all of the capitals.

May make the playoffs but defense needs to improve to make any kind of run.

YSU Penguin Athletics / Re: NDSU @ YSU. lets pump it up!
« on: November 16, 2013, 09:50:55 PM »Lakes - probably the only city in Ohio that isn't overwhelmingly Ohio State is Cincinnati. And there are a lot of Buckeye fans there as well.
Youngstown, Kent, Akron doesn't matter - OSU comes first with most people. its part of the challenges of selling tickets. The local school is the #2 school in most of the state and people would rather stay home and watch the Buckeres on TV. You will see a lot more Ohio State garb this weekend outside of the game. People love a winner at the highest level - and that's tO$U.
As Pita said, enjoy your visit, spend lots of money, travel safe but go home unhappy with the result.
I am not happy about it, have never had any interest in osu but you have pretty much hit the nail on the head.

« on: November 16, 2013, 09:43:09 PM »Game comments aside, I thought that it was very rude and really not cool what the NDSU fans did at the end of the National Anthem. Right at the end of the song most of them chanted something over the words of the song, could not understand what they said but it does not matter.
Do not mess with things like the National Anthem.
Not looking for anything to complain about, has nothing to do with the game, you have a nice team a nice fan base. It is just an ignorant unpatriotic thing to do during the National Anthem. I guess it may be cute for kindergarten kids but not for adults that should be old enough to understand the meaning of the song.
The fact that you have been doing it for a long time only makes it more pathetic.

Several of the NDSU fans around seemed to take exception to the pronunciation of bison. Seems they prefer bizun.

I was ticked at Wolf for his triad in the 3rd qtr that got us a penalty and killed a nice drive. We had a little mo going and then he lost his cool. You just cannot do that kind of thing in a big game. Head coach needs to be under control at all times during the game, watch some film on John Wooden wolf.

Ellwood straddles Lawrence and Beaver mostly in Lawrence. Koppel and BF in Beaver. All are areas that should be considered state of Ytown and should be recruited as such.

« on: November 14, 2013, 10:38:12 PM »I see the difference. I consider the Mahoning Valley to be larger than you do. I consider Kent to be in the Mahoning Valley. You are thinking strictly Mahoning, Trumbull, and parts of Shenango & Neshanock counties.
Shenago and Neshannock are rivers, townships and high schools in Lawrence County. I am sure that you meant Mercer and Lawrence and maybe Beaver county being part of the greater Youngstown area.
