YSU Penguin Athletics / Re: not suprised
« on: September 02, 2012, 01:14:05 PM »
Started out as a miserable day! But the 4th quarter was priceless. We finally closed a game and didnt fold in the 4th quarter.  This was a program building win, just like the Georgia Southern win was for JT.  So refreshing to play a BCS team and try to win the game.  We didnt just win, we were a force Saturday!!!!

IP, what do we pay to a visiting team? How does that compare to schools @ the mid major level?

Wow! I guess being new to this site doesn't entitle me to a response to my questions. If you state that Cook is out for the Spring you should bring some facts to back it up. What RB had surgery?

This isnt a newspaper ...its a forum..when u get info..sometimes its second or third hand info, sometimes better than that.   and hopefully its true...as for getting a response...be patient and you usually get a response eventually....Being that its a forum for info and entertainment for the fans...RELAX!!!!

YSU Penguin Athletics / Football Stuff!!!
« on: March 04, 2012, 05:32:36 PM »
Heard we might have some depth problems at RB, one kid had surgury on knee, another needs to hit the books,  plus we are looking for another  kicker.  Somebody that left might be back that used to play RB.  As for the Akise Teague, I heard he never would give Wolford the time of day , when he tried to recruit him, sounds like he wont land here...well at least for now.  The Northern Iowa game will be a 7pm start,,,we want them to sit around all day!  They decided to seperate the home coming game and HOF stuff...makes sense...Did you know there were only 600 members in the penguin Club...please try to join even at the lowest level would be a big help...This is Big for the program..later!!!

Hopefully we are building a program.  I wish we could make better recruiting inroads closer to home, like Western Pa, Pittsburgh, Cleveland, Akron, Canton....Columbus, Cincy!!!!...I know I am dreaming...but if you can give me another season like this one with a couple of extra wins I will take it...We need to get lucky for once!!!

Well, lets hope he stays...he has a good chance on being Horizon Player of the year...I agree about the crowd.  I will be there Saturday...if i wasnt out of state would of been there last night!

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.

Can't see Perry transferring, why wouldnt he done it last year...I think you are delusional!!!

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.

IAA, you hit the nail on the head.  Last time we went to Kent we filled their stadium, TV exposure is much more prevelant as well.  They are on Espn every week the last 2 mths of the season...FCS football is hardly noticed by the media...Fans can relate to the MAC teams...not some cornbilly school that when they come to the ice castle and bring 10 fans...again this is a dead horse!!!

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.

I want us to be in a conference, where we can have rivalries. The MAC would give us that. Football battles against, Kent and Akron every year would play to sell out crowds.  We would have Buffalo to the North of us.  We will never compete for  a championship in the Horizon.. That is being a realist.  WE SEEM TO THINK A FCS championship means more in the football world, it doesnt matter to anybody but the ones that are in it, plus u lose money to achieve it. Its about exposure and money and the MAC get way more exposure as well as a little more money than YSU being in the FCS.  For some reason we are still stuck in the 90's and think the sports public cares about FCS or 1AA...they dont and ESPN doesnt either.  They didnt have the last few FCS games on the main channel vs back in the 90's when CBS had it...But that being said...WE ARE BEATING A DEAD HORSE

Slocum, earned at least another year or 2.  He could have this year and didnt. I am not a big fan of him, BUT, he could have stayed at Gannon and got his 16-18 wins with out breaking a sweat.  But he decided to come to a program that was in the crapper due to Robic, and now he has got us to the point if he can reel of a couple of good years , he will get us out of the crapper.  We dont have money and I don't see the detractors donating 5k a year we need about a 100 of those to get a coach that you think we all deserve.  Mahoning Valley fans are cheap.  So unless you want to give up some Benjamins...Slocum is our Coach!!!
