I won't be here to post during the game, heading up to Cleveland for a HS Game. Go Guins!!!!

[PantherRob82]

I'd post, but no live video and I'll have the UNI audio.

[GoGuins]

I'll be watching the game live here at home, I'll be switching between MIch-Indiana and the YSU game. I'll post when I can

Nice day to be indoors here in NE Ohio watching football. Cold and rainy. Tomorrow I head to sunny & warm San Antonio for a week

Who are you going up to Cleveland to see Fly? I wouldn't think an area team would be up there in the second round.

[PantherRob82]

Michigan better play better than they did last week. I might follow the Game stats for the game and post.

[goguins444]

He's probably going to see the Harding vs St Ed's game

[FlyYtown]

Warren G. Harding
vs. Lakewood St. Edwards

At: Cleveland Browns Stadium

[BDK@YSU]

Good luck to the Raiders, bring it back to the Mahoning Valley. That being said, better luck to the Penguins... great chance for the Guins to lock up a seed with JMU dropping their game to Villanova 21-20.

[PantherRob82]

[PantherRob82]

Not sure we can expect much out of the Toppers. Sucks that we need their help.

[igo4uni]

YSU has ball on WKU 15 after int.

[PantherMan]

YSU has ball on WKU 15 after int.

Had WKU held and then turned the ball over?

[igo4uni]

WKU drives into YSU territory and now will have to punt.

4:57 left in 3rd.

13-3 YSU

[igo4uni]

Had WKU held and then turned the ball over?

I don't know..........I had to break up a fight between my kids. :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad:

[igo4uni]

4th Q now.

Still 13-3 YSU.

YSU will punt on the 1st play of the 4th Q

[igo4uni]

WKU starts at their own 2

[PantherMan]

WKU starts at their own 2

Well they at least got out of that slightly... First down at the 17, one big play for WKU is what we need to have this thing change...

[igo4uni]

I think FlyYtown is the color commentator for YSU radio!!:D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D

[igo4uni]

Roughing the passer called on YSU

[PantherMan]

I think FlyYtown is the color commentator for YSU radio!!:D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D

Ha, wouldn't doubt it...:rolleyes: We need WKU to break a big one soon...:nod:

[igo4uni]

YSU gets a pick

[igo4uni]

YSU 1st and 10 on WKU 25

[skinny_uncle]

[igo4uni]

Fourth quarter?

6:17 left in the 4th.

[igo4uni]

Haven't heard Mason's name today............don't know why.

[ysuindy]

I think FlyYtown is the color commentator for YSU radio!!:D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D

Actually color commentator is Dick Harzell, a former high school coach in the Youngstown area and the creator of the Jumpstretch system

[igo4uni]

YSU announcer says they were 20 points better than UNI.xidiotx xidiotx xidiotx xidiotx xidiotx xidiotx xidiotx xidiotx

[ysuindy]

Mason has not played. Problem with his ankle. Q Gibson has 37 carries for 221 yards. YSU ball on the WKU 10.

[igo4uni]

4th and goal for YSU inside 1

[igo4uni]

TD YSU

That should do it.

Good game YSU

Off to Crapsville :bawling: :bawling: :bawling: :bawling: :bawling: :bawling:

[PantherRob82]

:bang: :bang: :bang:

[PantherRob82]

This sucks. We were at least 20 points better than SIU. :rolleyes:

[ysuindy]

Touchdown Gibson on fourth and goal form inside the one. Bad snap on extra point. 19-3 YSU - around 4 minutes left.

Gibson 40 carries, 225 yards, 2 TD.

Not to sound too much like Fly, but given all the yards YSU running backs are getting this year, I hope there is at least one YSU offensive lineman earning some All American honors.

[BillLuc1982]

Bad snap on PAT. Rowan throws incomplete pass.

YSU 19, WKU 3

[skinny_uncle]

This sucks. We were at least 20 points better than SIU. :rolleyes:
:confused:
In what sport? When?

[HI54UNI]

TD YSU

That should do it.

Good game YSU

Off to Crapsville :bawling: :bawling: :bawling: :bawling: :bawling: :bawling:

Congrats to YSU. :thumbsup:

I guess there's always next year for us. :bawling: :( :bawling: :beerchug:

[skinny_uncle]

That is what Cub fans tell me.
:D

[BillLuc1982]

YSU better improve their snapping if they want to do well in the playoffs.

[HI54UNI]

That is what Cub fans tell me.
:D

Now I'm really depressed! :bawling: :bawling: :bawling: :bawling: :bawling: :bawling: :bawling: :bawling: :bawling: :bawling: :bawling: :bawling: :bawling: :D :D xlolx

[skinny_uncle]

Looks like the Penguins are at least co-champs. They locked up a playoff trip today, if they win.
Is the game over yet?

YSU wins the Gateway because they beat ILSU head-to-head. YSU is running the clock out now. WKU is using its final life support down 19-3.

[BillLuc1982]

FINAL YSU 19, WKU 3

[ysuindy]

19-3 final. YSU wins at least a share of the Gateway and clinches the automatic bid.

Q Gibson runs for 236 yards and two touchdowns on 43 carries.

[GoGuins]

I said on another thread it's nice to have depth in the backfield. 43 carries is second most in school history behind Tamron Smith's 51 back in the early 90's

[redbirdtim]

Eventhough we lost to you, we can still win a share of the title. You get the AQ, but we can still call ourselves Gateway Co-Champs :) (with a win over a UNI team that will be playing their hearts out).

According to Cap'n Cat, there are no "co-champs":D sorry redbird but Go UNI

[matfu]

i see southern ill plays southern utah next week. are they any good?

[FlyYtown]

Youngstown State 9-2 [6-1]
Gateway Conference co-Champions:Auto-Bid:4th Seed???

Illinois State 8-2 [5-1]
With a win over UNI: co-Champions

Southern Illinois 7-3 [4-3]

Gateway has 3 forces in the Playoffs, SIU must win first though!

[Toppermaniac]

The game went pretty much like I thought it would. After last week's disappointing loss to UNI and no playoff spot on the line, I didn't think we'd show up and we didn't. A pitiful performance, especially by our offense. We played with ZERO emotion and clearly didn't have our hearts in the game. Pitiful crowd also. I guess it was due to the bad weather and the fact that the game was pretty much meaningless to us. OH well, we entered the Gateway with a BANG and left with a whimper. Congrats to YSU!!!! I'll be pulling for all Gateway teams in the playoffs.

[PenguinPride23]

Congrats to the team (and thanks to SIU, lol) on locking up the AQ! Now enjoy this rest, and let Mason and Terry rest up them ankles.

HOME PLAYOFF GAME BABY!!! I'll be there and LOUD!!! :hurray:
