Have the AD get a better game.... Snooze fest.

My team will be playing, why would I snooze?



Game will over by half. Snooooooooze.

When's the last time a real FCS opponent not in the MVFC came to Stambaugh ?

Mr. Strollo too worried about filling up the loges and trying to make money than giving a crap about the regular fan who wants to see a good football game.

Wofford, playoffs 2016. Although, I recognize in the spirit of your comment you were referring to planned before the beginning of the year rather than due to playoffs.

And speaking of the Wofford game, as I recall there were more then a few empty seats. So a quality team, a playoff game to boot and empty seats.

Well it will be tighter than usual, as they are not placing the band or student section in portable bleachers, as they should. We will be warmer than in recent years with tha added body heat :)

Where would you put portable bleachers ????


Band and student section should ALWAYS be on the home side.

They should schedule Mount Union instead of these non scholarship d1s like butler. Similar... likely better level of competition and they are just down the road so more of a local game.

Oh come on. Butler would smack Mount Union around. Same crap every year. Our schedules have been excellent for years now. This year we have the second-best (preseason) team in the Big-12, and 6 top-25 teams from our own level. What more do you want and still make the post-season?

  I know this has been talked about several times.  But, playing two stiff teams is unacceptable.  One is fine.  But playing Butler and Valpo is like the Globetrotters against the Washington Nationals.  We would beat these teams by double digits 100 times in a row.   It is a joke to charge money for two of these games.   Have some balls and go schedule JMU, Villanova, Richmond, etc...  The crowd tomorrow will be very small.

Yes, the Globetrotters would beat the Nationals 99 out of 100 times; so are you taking the kids to see the Nationals, or the Globetrotters? Youngstown is the only town I have even been in where people look for excuses not to attend games and then justification for why they did not. You should be mad because the other side of Stambaugh is closed and we are going to run out of seats, as that is the ONLY way that consistent attendance will ever happen. No visiting opponent will EVER make that happen. That is unless you have a personal relationship with Urban Myer and we should expect the Buckeyes at some point. Heck even then, I am sure that some of the die-hard desperate will find an excuse not to go.

Do you know that U Delaware has average attendance of just over 18k per game? By my calculations that makes Bue hen Stadium the 4th-largest city in the entire state of Delaware for about 3-hours per Saturday and how many times have they been above .500 in the last 10-years?

Sunshine beginning at 8a, beer, food, a fly-over (so I have heard) and a mystery YSU team playing tomorrow. So show up and see if you like them. Go Guins!!

Your right they probably should be on the West side but I get a lot of laughs watching the students taunt the visiting team during the game.
