I sure hope you are right about the Valpo series being back-to-back years in Youngstown. I didn't understand why we would schedule a home and home with a FCS Non-Scholarship program. If you've never been to a game in Youngstown, it's worth the trip. What do you guys think of the new coach? I wish they hired a Mooney grad, but even though he's a Ursuline grad his resume is pretty good. Any thoughts? Watch it. I am an Ursuline graduate. Stoops wanted too much money. The Ursuline guy hired the other Stoops brother from Mooney though! It really is too bad that YSU is afraid to come down to Dayton for a game. I think UD would play YSU home/home, but YSU seems to be afraid to come to Dayton. UD's stadium seats 11,000 so you could bring your fans to see the loss.... Programs like YSU need to get over the non-ATHLETIC scholarship thing and understand that PFL teams are just FCS. There are two, count em two, FCS teams in Ohio and we never play each other. Oh yeah, for the record, all time YSU is a whopping 0-9 against the might Flyers!

When was the last time you actually filled Welcome Stadium? Let me know when you get your own stadium that you don't share with a high school. Granted, Valpo doesn't have the greatest stadium in the conference but at least we're making an effort to improve our facilities and don't have any scheduling conflicts with the local high school. YSU afraid to play there? They probably just want to have the entire team get tetanus shots after playing on that crappy turf!

They'd have to travel They'd get less money They'd help legitimize an in state program They couldn't play their backups the whole game (like they can vs. VU) There's just no upside for YSU. Your suggestion has about as much validity as suggesting Notre Dame join a conference. :lol

Please tell me somebody is looking into getting out of this game? Youngstown State looks like they are on the road to recovery (ranked #20) and Valpo is well...Valpo. That means getting beat by a DII team 50-7 who's quarterback was a receiver the week before. There's just no good that can come from this game....the score at halftime for YSU at #20 Penn State was 16-7. Anybody want to bet the Valpo game won't be that close at half? And here's the thing, since YSU needs to get in to the playoffs by the polls, there is incentive to hang as many points on VU as possible. Since this game will be considered a "bad win" by the Penguins, look for them to run up the score by necessity.

I really, really hope somebody with the authority to stop this game steps in and uses their brain and does so. I really don't want to see these kids get hurt, and that's whats going to happen if they are allowed to play. This isn't even about the score, but the ability to compete on an equal playing field just isn't there. It seemed like somebody got hurt every two minutes in the Jacksonville game and this will be worse. Don't let this happen!
