Posted by go guins: "thats what will get us into the Dance for the first time" Yep, that just might happen, and then WHAM 89-44 and we become the 275th 16 seed to get crushed by a #1. We need a 1AA for basketball as well as football. "
A 1AA in basketball would be irrelevant, who would care (it's called Division 2). I'd rather be a 15-16 seed and lose big than win a 1AA basketball title. go guins, such a negative attitude, it sounds like you have absolutely no faith in the basketball team becoming a known entity and doing damage in the tournament. I ABSOLUTELY believe it can happen, maybe not immediately but it can happen. I hope fairly soon up-grades to Beeghly will occur, they are sorely needed.

So you believe our football program is "irrelevant"? Sorry, I disagree. I think it is just right for YSU and similar schools.
"Who would care (it's called Division 2)”
No, it would be 1AA. There is a division II already, 1AA BB would mimic the success of 1AA football.
"I'd rather be a 15-16 seed and lose big than win a 1AA basketball title."
Oh yeah, I think playing a #1 seed and getting our brains kicked in would be wonderful. 16 seeds are ZERO for EVER! I disagree completely with you. I love the 1AA football tournament. Very competitive games. You think the playoff games this season were nothing compared to getting pummeled in Pitt? I disagree 100%
"go guins, such a negative attitude, it sounds like you have absolutely no faith in the basketball team"
No, exactly the opposite. I have great faith in Coach Calhoun. But YSU is far better suited to competing at a level similar to football, than D1. I just want to get him on a level playing field for a tournament.
