Farley responded with something along the lines of "EVERYONE [in conference] treats their game against us as a rivalry game, which is why I don't think we have any rivals, we just concentrate on whatever the next game is"
    YSU fans like to think that UNI is our rival in the conference. However, Reno Saccocia of the legendary Steubenville Big Red HS football program in Ohio stated, it is only a rivalry if the wins are back and forth in the series... That has definitely not been the case.

    BTW that Big Red HS Stadium is just crazy amazing. Visiting stands 4 yards from the field. Sits right near the Ohio River, so not much room to build your average stadium:

      Probably all of the above and more. Is our marketing not doing the job? Has the media forgotten about us? I'm with ya though.... for a highly ranked team, they just don't have the following of past teams. For the first time in years, we are having difficultly using our spare tickets. We've never had that problem.

      If you find the answer, pass it along to Dannen. I'm sure he'd like to know.

        Local TV game and Home games for the BIG 2 never help....

          Attendance was disappointing today, but lets not overreact here. We were averaging over 16K for the first 3 home games before today.

          Even in the good years, there is always a game or two that has somewhat low attendance.

                Nelly was there tonight coaching. He had to have surgery on Monday so did have to miss some practice this week.
                "...the Northern Iowa men's basketball team reached the ultimate highs before hitting a devastating low. Unexpected success, followed by unimaginable failure. And they owned it -- all of it -- for the world to see. Like men. Like leaders. Like champions -- in a way no tournament bracket could ever define."

                  Re: Youngstown State @ UNI

                  My thoughts on today's game:

                  Playcalling: UNI actually had 1 running play to the left that gained 20 yards, only to be negated by a holding call. NEVER ran that direction again.

                  Personal foul penalties: A CHAMPIONSHIP TEAM does NOT commit them. THEY HAVE TO STOP! HOW many times have we given the opponent good/better/best field position on a stupid personal foul penalty this year?!? We are in week 9 of the season and the team still doesn't have this figured out??? And what is the coaching staff doing to reduce them?

                  I thought last week that maybe we were getting a handle on this, but maybe that is because the opposing team got twice as many as UNI.

                  I too, could not BELIEVE that YSU got called for NOT A SINGLE PENALTY until less than 5 minutes was left in the game. However, the 2 that were called led to the game-winning touchdown.

                    YSU was called for offensive pass interference earlier in the game, but the penalty was declined b/c UNI had gotten the ball on downs on the play. But yes, the lopsided number of penalties was rather odd.

                    the Penguins were definitely more disciplined, but still.....

                      thought it was a fairly quiet crowd too.
                      West side looked pretty spotty on TV too. After halftime you could definitely tell the students had left the building.

                      It's too bad that the fan support just isn't there. The Panthers have a great program going and to not sell out in this area is sad. And I am just amazed that for $8 you can get women's basketball season tickets. These are good, affordable sporting events that deserve better fan turnout. Starts with the students and goes from there.

                        No, but some of the pass plays they call are not very smart. Sinkfield had a step on his guy every time. Throw him the ball. Better than routes that take eight seconds to develop.

                          I agree on the personal fouls. Sick of the uni defense tapking smack all game. Just shut up and let the your play speak for itself.

                            He was up in the box. Hopefully will return to the sidelines next week.

                              the Running game needs to fiigure something out. It will help to have a healthy Carlos, hopefully soon.
                              I dont know if Rennie could of did what Lanpher did right before half, dont get me wrong I like Rennie but he doesnt have the arm that Lanpher has thats for sure and it was nice to see UNI use the speed at WR they have for once, just IMO

                                The first TD pass to Sink was pretty sick.

                                The amount off Receiving talent on this team is unlimited, but OL play and which QB is in the game is still a challenge for this team.
