It has been stated in the past if you make a run in the playoffs you lose money.

I can’t pull the tweet.  We can barely afford playing in the conferences we are in.  Our asst coaches make enough to qualify for food stamps.  We need millions and millions to even get into the MAC

First play-off game in 7 years and so so quiet on this board!

That is what happens after what 7 years since last playoffs etc.  My thought is the Dukes a big enough Draw to get a decent crowd.  My guess Holiday week I’m hoping to see 8k.  And doesn’t the athletic dept say a lesser amount as an announced crowd if memory serves me right for playoffs

Well we are in you never know with the selection committee.  The easier conference schedule helped us and thank god we had Murray St for the last game .



Should be an easy first game after that who knows.  We will go as far as our pass defense takes us!!

Games that hurt us
Terrible loss at home last week to SD St we didn’t just lose we got shut out
All our wins are against the second half of the division no wins against the top 5 teams.  Not our fault that we had an easier conference schedule
2 BS games against bottom feeder teams yes we won but nothing special
Yes we played Ohio St but that will mean crap to the committee.
When you go 7-4 it’s a crap shoot.  8-3 we were in.

It all sounds good till they pick and we are the ugly person that doesn’t get asked to go the dance,  it’s been happening for what 30 years.  Our Commissioner is not a player in the room either.  Plus the rules change every year well the fake rules

About every team has lit us up with the passing game. Of course the rushing D has improved due to teams passing at will.  This team needs more than 2 players on each side of the ball to be a top 1 or 2 geam in the conference.  You are losing your 2 best players on offense and I think your TE and a RB are Seniors.  Is Davidson getting a 6th year.  If not QB is a big problem. Big problem.  Let’s hope we get a bid this year

If we win next week at Murray State we are likely in the playoffs based on how the schedule will likely play out.  If we get in, we will do damage.  We will probably win the first 2 games.  That would mean we would finish in the top 8. 

If and when this does happen, I don't want to hear anymore bullsh** about the team and coach.  He's building a great program here.  Hes got to work with his coordinators and coaches.  They need development and that takes time.

Direct your anger at the AD for keeping Heacock who couldn't recruit but could coach.  For the record, dynasties are usually once in a lifetime events.  That's just reality

Power with the diluted conference schedule we should make the playoffs.  Wolford or Pelini never had this easy of conference schedule.
So if we go 5-3 we will either be the 4th or 5th best team in the conference. 
I know the top team the jackrabbits best Northern Iowa by 35 pts. We lost to them. 
I don’t know if Phillips is the answer but he needs a huge talent influx to get to the next level in our conference.
We will see.  But I said earlier in the year our D wasn’t great after I watched Ohio st and you said heck no we are so much better.  We aren’t on D and honestly that’s been our Achilles heal other than 2016. 
Murray St should be an easy win.  Then it’s up to the asshats that pick the teams. 


 

We are better on defense this year than we were last year.  Our problem is on the DL.  The secondary also has issues, but many of those issues are caused by the lack of pass rush.

Look at where we are statistically this year vs last year defensively. We are better, we're just not good enough to beat the top tier teams.  We need more recruiting on the DL and OL.  We have to be able to run the ball against anybody.

Here's what people need to keep in mind.....SDSU will not be the same team next year.  They graduate a ton of people.  I expect that there won't be such a dominant force in FCS next year.

I just at this years conference stats for D.  We finished 4th last year in conference. This year we are 8th plus we are giving up an extra point a game.  We have a weaker conference schedule.  So no we haven’t improved on D.

People need some perspective here, so I will give mine.

1. I don't think anyone beats that team this year (SDSU).
2. What people need to realize is we are better than 90% of the FCS.  The problem is that we play in a conference that's the absolute best of the best.  In general, whomever wins the MVFC is the likely winner of the national championship.
3. That had a team full of 6 year seniors and we are playing mostly Freshman and Sophomores.
4. I heard that Phillips was willing to speed up the transformation of the team, but was limited by the AD. In addition, His first recruiting year was shorted scholarships due to NCAA rules violations by Pelini.
5. If we get into the playoffs, and there's a chance we will (look at the remaining schedule) we would do a lot of damage in the playoffs.  We would finish in the top 15 easily.
6. We weren't aggressive enough against SDSU. It looked to me that we were trying to keep it close and get it into the 4th quarter, but they were able to shut down the run game completely. Then we were doomed.
7. We have legitimate complaints about the referees in this game. When they took that TD off the board, it was the turning point.

Keep the perspective.  We need a couple more kids.  We win will 2 more on offense and 2 more on defense (on the lines).

Power every year it’s the same conference is the best again what’s the point of being in this conference when we can’t get past the top 4 teams
The refs didn’t beat us stop it.
That team beat us as soon as they got of the bus.
Being better than 90 percent of all the other schools means nothing. 
We fricken didn’t even score.
Then Davidson post game press conference sounded like an ass saying they weren’t nothing special lol.  Then made the same excuse they had a lot of 6 year players.  Very sad.

This football program and the YSU administration needs to do some soul searching.  We have become a second rate school in the conference an afterthought to the local fans and it’s just excuse after excuse. 
If the basketball team can win another 20 games they have become the number one program at the school.

It kills me to say it.

Power we got handled on Senior day and shut out.  We are more than 4 players away from being at upper tier level in our conference.
Issues next year?  Whose. Our QB?  We need playmakers on both sides of the ball, The defense is as bad or worse when Wolford was here. 

Next year will be another rebuild.  I heard a comment that we only had 1 transfer last year lowest in league.  Which in our league transfers are important

Don’t get me on the dumb play calling when Brungard was in even a toddler knew he was running.

Epic fail from coaches, team, fans, athletic Department, marketing of this game. 
Season is done.  SD did what the wanted and even disrespected us by doing the Penguin dance on us
 
Dollar General budget, gives you this product. Offense has no explosive players other than Oliver, average Rb’s and a system QB.  Defense what Defense.

We will never be an upper tier team in this conference.  Ever. 

How long are we going to stay in a conference that has literally blew up this program and other than a lucky catch  has done nothing but be everyone’s homecoming game. 

Just upset sorry
