The delusions of the G5 programs apparently know no limits. Corporations and networks care ONLY about the P5. A G5 playoff would have the exact same interest as the FCS playoffs....namely none whatsoever.
Agree, the national  interests will be low especially with the extended playoff of the P5 teams. How much local interests, let alone national interests for the MAC teams? Even local people are not watching the Akron or Kent home games.
However, there might be tv $$$ to be made for G5 markets.

IMO. The P5 playoff in comparison to the G5 playoff will be comparable to the NCAA MBB & NIT. Some local interests for the participating teams, but little interests elsewhere.

I missed the Canisius transfer from all the garbage posts.  Was starting to get little worried & still a bit am from the lack of signings.  Is Elijah Guillory still committed?
Need couple power forwards from the transfer portal, similar to those combos we had for the last two seasons.

Philips said we don't have to worry about the QB position.   Is he smoking weed or what?..we don't have a QB on roster to win but a few games at best.  We cannot depend on running QBs and avoid passing. Disaster if we are.  Defense is young and unproven
.. could be a long year.

Lol, I guess it all depends on coach’s perspective. Things are often relative. In comparison to DB, LB, DL, he might  not be worry much about QB.

If you read the Vindy article it seems between the lines Phillips wants Shannon to be the guy.  Again is he? Accuracy quick decision making is what’s needed in aD1 QB.  A good coach builds around a players strength. My guess is the Springfield Kid has that more than the others.  Do we need another Crenshaw experience.  I feel this is where Phillips fails in not seeing what’s right in front of him.  This team right now lacks a true chunk play game breaker.  I see a sub 500 record this coming year especially in conference.  This year we will need his best coaching job ever.  When you had the influx of transfers D leave after he said maybe our scheme was too complicated? Not all were told to leave.  They know what’s up and next year is a rebuild.  Depth means a lot if you have horses to win it.  We don’t have those game changing horses right now.  Think about it we have had to go to there’s transfer portal for RBs and our number 1 receiver.  What happened about the off field incident with tbe transfer WR and he was with other players.  Where’s the media for that?

As I have posted in the past, imo, if Phillips started Davidson at ehe beginning of the season instead of Crenshaw, we would have made the playoff that year.
Shannon might be the chosen one (like Crenshaw), however, in the spring game, I did not see him having the ability to find the open receiver (like Crenshaw) and he put head down and tan (like Crenshaw). I hope Phillips will not make the same mistakes (like Not starting Davidson).

As it turned out Davidson was a pretty good QB who got some post season visibility in a demonstration game. He probably will not be NFL draft material, however he might get invited to some rookie camp. We shall see in a couple of weeks.

Shannon does not look good.  Too much run 1st with him.
The Springfield local kid (#11) looked good. There were some really hard hits on the field. Shannon didn’t seem to have abilities to find any open receivers. He reminded me of Crenshaw, put his head down and ran.
Beau had several passes knocked down at the LOS. He either telegraphed his passes or being too short, or both.
Some good runs by the backs. King only played one series, I believe.
It was difficult to judge the passing game because of the strong wind.
I thought Shannon was the least effective among all 4 QBs.
Other comments?

Can someone list the defenders that went to the portal and what school they're at ?   Looks like the defense was decimated with guys going elsewhere.
The links to the Tribune/Vindy article that I posted on this subject matter on 4/10 listed some defensive players we had lost to either graduation or portal.

Basketball is new #1 sport at YSU.   WIN AND YOU GET RESPECT.
Just to be fair, football made the playoff and basketball didn’t. I do understand they are not at the same level. Out of curiosity, which program had a higher NET national ranking.

LOL!! Round ball is a clown sport at YSU.

FCS is just bad anymore..

BOWLING is the new jam in elGUINO land  8)
That must be only sport in YSU history which we made the national final 4 of NCAA championship.

I'm glad it appears to be a seamless transition and Coach Faulkner will carry on with Coach Calhoun had established.  It's good to hear that apparently everyone else is staying...wish we could have retained Lovelace.

I did think the press conference though was pretty lackluster...just 10 mins including questions.  Can't believe there weren't more questions from the media.  And nothing from Strollo.
Apparently, they emphasized several times during the press conference that they want one to one meeting after the comments by the coach.
I could tell the coach is not as a dynamic speaker as Calhoun.  I guess that is a difference in their personality. It really doesn’t matter as long as he gets the job done.
BTW, who was the guy introducing Faulkner, he never introduced himself. I was surprised that AD didn’t personally introduced him.
