UNI week

A game we can win but I honestly have no idea what to expect, I will be there.

We will be there also but barely hanging on. This week doesn’t mean much, the following weeks will mean much more. Who is losing their job?  Who is leaving for the portal? Heard he is bringing 15 recruits to this game?? They will look up and see 500 people in the stands. Save your time and get 15 portal kids that can come in and play right now, we don’t have the time to develop kids anymore, besides when you develop them they will leave. Sound familiar? I think kids today understand the business of college football better than our program does. Nobody is safe year in and year out. If you want to play either work your ass off or find a level of college that you can play at and the portal does that. The best coaches today are the ones that can bring in new people that are starters and gel them together like they played together for years. Head coaches need to be like CEOs more than X and Os.  The portal changed college sports and as a coach you need to adapt to the changes. Cant be old school and coach like it’s the 90s.  He’s sold on BB so we won’t see another Qb for two more years which is a shame. After this debacle of a season nobody would be safe, from the parking attendant to the coaches.

Stick, you have offered a blueprint that could lead us out of this mess. Unfortunately, the powers-that-be (that is you, Ron) don't understand that being a "developmental program" is the formula for disaster in the climate of modern college football.

As for the UNI game, I dislike them so much that I am really trying to care. But I don't. That spectacle last week ended my emotional involvement with the Phillips' regime.

Have you tried to stream Wkbn 570 on the iHeart radio app on the cell phone? I use it to listen when I am out of town to get around the reception issues. Wkbn reception is terrible in the Cleveland area.

I have to believe that Coach Phillips is coaching for his job today. A bad loss to a bad team and he has to be fired even with contract extension. I have to believe that only the diehards like me will be at the game today.

I am surprised that YSU didn’t try to do some types of special promotion (like $5 tickets) to increase attendance.
They need butts in the seat. They will still make additional money from the parking fee. I wonder who is running the business side of the program.

Cannot depend on BB he is our entire offense.  Heads need to roll after the game win or lose.

We haven't been able to play a full game all season
 They adjust, we don't.

It’s coaching…or lack thereof
