No.....Back in your cave for two more years.
Maybe recruits don't want to come here because Slocum has zero personality and it aweful with the media.
He would rather make fun of Robb Smidt than answer questions and you know I am right on that. Ask the local media. I know of a few students at YSU who have players in their class and Slocum is not liked. Wouldn't be surprised if Kendrick Perry transfers.
YSUGO....really? REALLY?? What rivalry does Akron or Kent or any other MAC team bring to YSU? NONE. They both SUCK and have sucked for years....that's not a rivalry my friend. Why do you think neither of them will schedule YSU? Because they already suck and the fact of a loss every year to an FCS team would make them suck even more!!!! Our fans don't come out enough as it is; you honestly think they would come to watch Akron or Kent? OK, OK, maybe the first year or 2. I would much rather play for a championship than the Clorox Toilet Bowl (as appropriately named above).
Soup ..there is NO team in I-AA that is more important to beat than Akron ...hands down, Granted I am over 40yrs old and that has something to do with it. Yet if you attend many YSU football games ...I am barely middle-aged compared to the regulars. All of which hate Akron as much as I do. Imagine being able to have Marshall, Akron, Kent, Pitt, UMASS, BG, UT, OU on the schedule every year? How about 5-ESPN games per year (if we make the championship, and go to a bowl). To regress a bit ..."totally awesome dude".
So they 'suck', well how many people in the US know NDSU is is any good? How many people could sit in the stands next year ( renegotiated, so it is an away game) right here in the Ice Castle, and will not know they are the defending national champs? If you say anything more than half, you are wrong. Football in at YSU is a tradition ...a form of entertainment.
The athletic budgets in the MAC are many millions more than ours. Yet the MAC is almost always inferior to the Horizon League in basketball. In football, let's give up the chance to compete for the national championship on the 2nd level so that we can acquire a coveted spot in the famous Clorox Toilet Bowl. Oh, we would also be playing without any BSC transfers since they all go to FCS programs because of the NCAA "instant-transfer" rule. Ohioans just don't get it: fans of real FBS powers consider the MAC and the Sunbelt to be a joke, and bad joke at that.
