`It's clear here that few Crusader fans relish their team playing YSU for several reasons. One of you posters replied that on paper you were the same size as Mike Tyson but wouldn't want to get in a ring with him? (probably afraid to lose an ear)  But seriously, does anyone know, or anyone there asked any of the players? From my knowledge, there is no YSU player who doesn't WANT the opportunity to play a BIGGER school. Too bad you can't take a poll of athletes, and only get their reaction ??

Greetings from Y-town. I've read all the posts on topics about this weeks game with the "guins. I must admit I am a little dismayed at the attitude of most fans here!  I would think that you would welcome the opportunity, as well as the payday.  YSU has played major FBS schools for several years now, and most times resulting in an a$$ whipping. Specifically. the last two times we played Pitt. No one ever blinked, and I have NEVER heard one soul on any penguin forum say we shouldn't schedule these schools. Win or lose, the game day atmosphere, exposure, and experience these kids get out of it are well worth it. As for your concerns for the safety of the players, Has anyone ever really been maimed in the game against Youngstown? If so then tell me, as I am ignorant of that fact. As for running up the score? I don't think the coach will do that. If we are fortunate to be in the lead by a few TD's, you can't very well put in a second or third team player and tell him not to score?!? 'specially if he sits on the bench all year. Anyway, good luck and play safe crusaders..........
