YSU Penguin Athletics / Re: WIU Game

« Last post by Kandrase on Today at 10:51:27 AM »

I'm fine with telling MLB to F _ _ _ OFF!  But my point was NOBODY is making money off empty stadiums.  Not the NCAA schools, not pro sports.  NFL makes enough off TV they can get by, but everybody else relies on attendance, and NOBODY (but the Rangers) are putting enough butts in the seats to cover costs.

Temporary government restrictions are the least of our concerns when it comes to attendance IMO, I've seen some pretty thin crowds the last few years, especially late in the season.

Losing causes attendance to drop you say??  Really?  Thanks for the update Captain Obvious!  What's also confusing me is I don't see how your comment isn't relevant to my comment.  Are you telling me that government "oversite" has not reduced the football/basketball revenue at YSU?  If so, I must respectfully disagree.

Well, the government restricts us to 3600 attendees in our stadium, we’re only averaging 2,063 per home game  this year.

YSU Penguin Athletics / Re: Bowling team advances to the NCAA Final Four

I realize that 95% of you do not care. And like golf, bowling is more a game than a sport. But these women deserve recognition for their outstanding accomplishment. Seeded #13 (out of 16) going in to the tournament, they defeated #4, #5, and #12 to advance to the final four. And this team has been in existence for only five years. Congratulations. Give it your best shot tomorrow.

No, more than 95% don't care, but golf and bowling are sports in any measure of what makes a sport.  WTF did you get such a perverted idea of "sport"?

too many dropped pa$$es

you couldn't be any more on target.  We don't know if Waid will every make a winning QB, and we are pretty sure Craycraft is a marginal backup, but both are going to have terrible stats if we can't catch any better that we are!

  3-12 in our last 15 conference games.  Haven't won a road game in conference since 2017.  Program is a mess.  Way to early to judge Phillips and this staff.  But other than McLaughlin we have no playmakers on offense.  I am hoping that is why we run this conservative offense.   Can only hope that that they can recruit some talent at wide receivers and figure out QB then open it up.

Way too early to pa$$ judgement on the coach and his staff, need to give him at least 2-3 years. All things considered I think that he is doing ok. I know that all do not agree but I think that playing this spring is a huge plus for us. Expecting an exciting fall.

This coach is going to work out. He needs time to recruit and develop.  Pelosi was the worst recuiter we've had since the Tressel era.  He took Wolford's recuits and  took the team far but they were undisciplined and looked for drugs etc.  Maybe he was the worst coach.  Anyhow, the cupboard is bare.  This guy is doing a hell of a job and he will get it turned around.  What did you expect with the recruiting Pelini had? 

It takes time to turn things around and he has the program on the rise.

Exactly. Phillips exceeded expectations and raised false hopes by almost beating SDSU and then collecting the win against an unimpressive South Dakota. I remind you again that Tressel won 2 games in his rookie season, and he coached in a vastly inferior league with more talent inherited from Narduzzi than Phillips received from Pelini. If this staff can recruit and develop players, we will be competitive in 2022 and perhaps good in 2023.

If this coach doesn't work out this program will never recover.
