mvfc penguin,

I am curious about the coming renovations you reference in your post?

talking about the new scoreboard, new lighting, new turf coming soon, expansion of the away side stands

New scoreboard and new lighting are true.

New turf??? Absolutely not. We just got new turf 3-4 years ago.

Away side expansion??? Yeah because those 1,000 people at the November home games warrants such an expansion. Not happening.

Do you see anything that every team in the conference has that we do not on our turf??? There is no Conference logo on our turf, plus the turf has so many seams on it that it is unsafe.

And as far as the away side goes... Just something that has been in discussion.

Think about it though, within the next 5 years with all the renovations coming there is a strong possibility that YSU does move up to FBS. The only reason we did not move up to the MAC during and after the Tressel era is because Akron and Kent vetoed it because they do not want to compete with YSU for getting recruits. In terms of getting recruits, their only selling point over YSU is that they are an FBS school. That is the main reason why we are not playing in the MAC as we speak.
Basically Kent and Akron were scared of us in the 90s because of how we would whoop them on the field. Which is another reason why they don't want to schedule us

Fickell is a serious candidate...

Within the next 5 years there will be no more FCS. There will only be Division 1 and Division 2, no more 1aa. No matter what you think YSU will be making a change soon. This is prevalent by the stadium updates that are in the books (new jumbotron, new lighting, new turf, expanded visitor side). These changes are not being made to support our non-existent fan base, but for an ulterior motive....

Just something to ponder

I really do feel bad for these Seniors, being 1 game short of the playoffs for all 4 years.

Mr. Cejudo,

This is a lot of things that people don't understand about college football and college football coaches.... By saying this, I'm talking about them being their away from home father figures.

If you look at it in by the numbers, the biggest loss would be Christian Bryan.
But if you look at overall effect on each side of the ball... The biggest loss on the defensive side of the ball would be Octavius Brown... The biggest loss on the offensive side of the ball would be Stephen Page... The biggest loss on Special Teams would be 1 of 4 people (Travis Williams, Desmond Williams, Joey Cejudo or Nathan Gibbs)
But of course all the seniors we are losing this year have had a huge impact throughout the entire year as well as their entire careers.

This NDSU is not the same team that they have been the previous 3 years.
Defense is definitely not as strong as they have been with players continuously not being where they need to be.
Offense is good, but Crockett is not the player he was even last year, their Oline is not the same and they can not finish as well in the Red Zone (just look at how many FG attempts their kicker has).

Watch for a close game with YSU upsetting NDSU on the road and getting a playoff bid.

What senior will be the biggest loss for us at the end of the year?

Been saying this since the first game that Christian did not have a catch (Michigan State last year).... If YSU wants to win games then CB needs to be somewhat of a factor in the passing game, not only back there fielding punts. The coaches do not always recognize talent sometimes and are too caught up with the newest thing sometimes that works out, but a lot of time in college football that is not the case.
These fans do not realize what they are going to be missing out on with the Seniors that are leaving. Every single one is an impact player.
With a loss expect an entire new coaching staff before YSU goes on Winter Break.

Are we forgetting about the fact that Saturday is Senior Night?

None of the young men on the current team want their Senior Leaders to be let down at home like last years Seniors were.
Look for YSU to come out early and often. These Seniors will not be denied!

They will not be 1 game short of the playoffs for all 4 years in their careers at YSU!!!!!

Jimmy Kitchen gets in the game in obvious passing downs.
