YSU Penguin Athletics / Re: Attendance this year for YSU football?

« on: October 30, 2011, 09:12:33 PM »

Once again the crowd was embarrassing, several reasons for that, none of them good reasons mind you.

I feel that we have 4000 to 5000 true hardcore fans that will be there no matter the weather, the record or who else is on tv.  Even in the 90's it took years before the really big crowds were there every game. Lots of folks jumped on the bandwagon because it became the thing to do in Ytown. The cool place to be and party.

I don't care is we are playing Notre Dame or Thiel the reason for being in the stands is because YSU is playing.

The only way to get them back is too win and win and win.

Took a look at the WIU site and found this.



"I remember those YSU radio announcers from last year. I think that they were shocked when we had that late score to win the game at Hanson Field 40-38.

Their fans who were at that game last year were not that much better. I have not met a group of visiting fans as mean-spirited as the YSU fans were. They like to throw around the "Hick" word a lot when talking about Macomb and Western.

I won't miss them when they decided the leave the MVFC. [Tongue]

Let's Go WESTERN!! "

Pita please tell me that this is not true, do our fans come across that way or is this sour grapes?

Me thinks that the taunting call on the int for a td was a bs call.

Almost forgot, why do the cops seem like they hassle our students in the student section behind the visitors team? At times today there were 3 cops standing there watching them, Heck they try and try to get them at the games but then they hassle them.

O looked good, real good.

D looked uninspired.

Crowd was embarrassing, I do not care who we play, should be over 16,000 butts in the seats every game, period.

Nice to see Carson's old Wilmington teammate on the field for SFU, Jake Demedal.

Special teams still need work, kick coverage is weak. Do we have a field goal yet?

Did we use a time out?

I thought that that 3rd and long by SIU near the end of the game was a fumble.

Well that saves us some money and brings us 2 schollys closer to the big boys

actually 7 scholarships since they only get 80 instead of 85

Not talking about partials here but my logic was this, now it is 85 to 63 a difference of 22. If this goes through it will be 80 to 60 a difference of 20.

So true Guinpen on the time-outs, and thanks Pizza. How did you like that time out with 1:38 left in the first half. I mean SDSU had little chance to score on us ...maybe 3-points ...we were doing okay & they were on their own 12. It would have taken a big play to get even a field goal. So I expected to go into the locker room at 14-14 in short order. You know what everyone is thinking ...get a big stop ...hopefully a sack ...use your time-outs. Well when your opponent picks up 6-yards on first down, your not supposed to call the time out!! So SDSU uses the time out to gather plays and take the lead on us, all the while knowing they were getting the ball first in the second half.

Could not understand it, they use a running play, they make no attempt to stop the clock and we do.

I had to calm down the last 24 hours before I even came to this site, man that game depressed the heck out of me. We had no right to lose that game.

First of all I really like to defer to the second half but at least we did get the ball and moved down for 7, BUT then we kick the ball out of bounds, give me a break. Then follow that up with 2 straight penalties giving them a 50 yard field before they run a play.

I counted 3 timeouts used for defense and none of them helped. 2 of them were early in the 2nd half and we sure could of used them later in the game.

Why can we not adjust and do something about the holes across the middle, I mean really.

3rd and long is just killing us on defense, almost seems automatic for the bad guys, I would rather have 3 and 1.

Once again I did not feel that the team was ready for the game and this was after 2 weeks. 3rd qtr we looked like a different team on "D". the other 3 were ugly.

Counted 2 times were our dback fell down on coverage.

I could not watch the replay, was that fumble call on the return a good or bad call?

Not enough pressure on the QB.

O seemed to be confused on play calling a couple of times, ran out of time at least once and rushed a couple of other times, no excuse for this!

The SDSU fans were a good bunch, kudos to them.
