Welcome to the MVFC...

Re: Welcome to the MVFC...

If the Panthers had even one NC under their belt I wouldn't give a crap about conference titles, either.

Wow, how did they get the NCAA to approve that curved out of bounds line? I would think that would be a tough adjustment for a receiver to make.

It was in the name change agreement.

Yes you would.

Re: Welcome to the MVFC...

The only people who don't care about conference titles are those who don't win them. When YSU was winning NC's, they were an independent except for one. So it didn't matter then and they say it doesn't matter now. Of course it doesn't matter, they don't win many. If UNI had defeated ASU for the 2005 NC, I would still care about winning the MVFC this year.

Re: Welcome to the MVFC...

With all this talk of domes, sheds, hangers and quonset huts, I was wondering. Has anyone ever done any research into the acoustics of each type of "stadium"? Like, if you took equivalently sized buildings of each type, filled them up with cheering football fans, which design is loudest?

Doesn't matter as long as you win on the road, too.

I haven't seen a study but I would have to assume the loudest would be the tin roof domes. Assuming that each stadium is filled with the same amount of people dispersing the same amount of energy.

Re: Welcome to the MVFC...

I have no doubt that you take a lot of pride in your numerous conference championships and from your perspective it obviously would look like that is the reason we devalue them.I think if the criteria for getting into the playoffs was only winning the conference title then we would definitely be interested.I'm really not sure if we ever won a conference championship--I highly doubt that we did--but the 90's run where we won 4 NC's and 2 runner ups spoiled the typical YSU fan--it would be nice to win the conference someday but if we don't most have a who cares attitude if we make the playoffs.Our new coaches strongest point is recruiting and with the new Watson-Tressel training center being finished soon he will be able to recruit YSU a defense so we can compete with the elite of the MVFC--which will be a nice change for us frustrated YSU fans.

When it comes to 6 appearences in the title game in 9 years combined with winning 4 of them thats about as good as it can get. I wouldn't trade in one NC for 18 Conf. Titles if thats what your asking. I might trade in half of them, but not all. The numerous titles show dominance.

I would think it would have most to do with the facility.

How loud the sound is, is not directly proportional to the amount of energy dispersed by the fans... it is logarithmic.

For example, assuming everything else equal... for one stadium to be twice as load as another it would need 10 x as many fans.

Re: Welcome to the MVFC...

I have heard that Tressel claims the UNI Dome is the loudest venue he has ever "played" in. I would say that it would be hard to argue after witnessing the first quarter of the Delaware game a few years ago.

it all depends on whether or not people are standing up or sitting down.
that's pure science, according to some.
