This thread is about as frustrating as our team is right now. Im not going to check attendance records while we were under the tressel regime but please stop with this nonsense. I will try to accept your arguments about the fans if you try to accept mine. Here goes...and IMHO...i think i can categorize penguin football, as far as fan support, as about fourth on the importance meter at best. The following is ranking in order of importance:
1. High school football
2. Ohio state football
3. Browns or steelers football
4. YSU football
The way i see it is the top three get most if the attention and only when the guins dont lose 3 in a row do we get a good crowd. My goodness...i read that ndsu had a record crowd of 19k at their game against us. Didnt we have something similar against uni. And that was after a huge storm. The reality is that our area cheers for YSU when they win. Like it or not YSU football is overshadowed by the previously mentioned top 3/4. I think we actually have respectable attendance records in relation to many of our counterparts. I thought i heard something like 7k fans last week at ISU. I would be willing to bet that we would have doubled that number, at least, had YSU played ISU At home last week.
