mes102 Posted January 6, 2012 Report Posted January 6, 2012 Terry Bowden to Akron Some of them bring up good points, and others are well....yeah, not so much...I wonder if equins has a yappi account... Anyways, I think page 5, post #137 brings up that he's hearing a strong rumor of Tommy Bowden potentially being asked to join the Zips' staff... It also amazes me the lovefest of YSU fans that are on there... Basically, the reason i posted this topic, was to show you that Bowden has gained steam at places that weren't touch 2-4 years ago here as a football program...and that's the local social media whether it's message boards, forums, blogs, newspapers, facebook, twitter, etc. Can't wait to show those YSU fans who the best in NE Ohio will be (and YSU) Quote
Zipgrad01 Posted January 6, 2012 Report Posted January 6, 2012 Those ysu fans are beyond ridiculous. Possibly the most delusional fanbase that I have ever seen for being such nobodys. Quote
Blue & Gold Posted January 6, 2012 Report Posted January 6, 2012 Those ysu fans are beyond ridiculous. Possibly the most delusional fanbase that I have ever seen for being such nobodys. +1. I was completely surprised by many of their comments. How can they honestly think such things? I used to think it would make for a fun, geographically convenient rivalry, but after reading those comments, I actually want to stop playing them even in basketball. Not to "avoid" them, but to simply send the message that they're not worth our time. We've definitely got bigger fish to fry than freaking YSU. What a joke. Quote
ZipRoo Posted January 6, 2012 Report Posted January 6, 2012 While I'm sure not ALL Youngstown fans are as classless as the Yappi posters you refer to, it would pay for all of YSU's supporters to remember one thing: You live in the armpit of Ohio. Your claim to fame is having Jim Tressel bolt and a congressman, James Trafficant, who believes in aliens. Besides your mob connections and being the birthplace of greasy DeBartelo, you guys should really try to live in more anonymity...because when you post things you don't know about, it only draws attention to your stupidity and reminds us all of what a filthy, rundown, decaying cesspool the entire forgotten Youngstown region truly is.

I really don't pay any attention to YSU fans anymore, its just not worth it. They suffer from a severe inferiority complex, causing them to hate Akron. Honestly we are not rivals in any way, other than the fact we are located in the same state. Maybe there was a time we shared a conference, but now our schools are on completely different levels. Our complete demolition of their bball team was an obvious example. YSU fans comparing their "school" to Akron, is like comparing Wayne State to YSU. All they ever bring up is...Tressel, some random AA championships, wearing Under Armour, and attendance. 4 things that are completely irrelevant... Quote

Yes, and they love bringing up games from the early and mid 90's. How on earth is that remotely relevant to comparing the school now? Also, the MAC is on a different level overall than it was 15 years ago. Just look at the NFL players from the MAC in the last few years. Quote
zen Posted January 7, 2012 Report Posted January 7, 2012 ...even still, YSU would probably have beaten Akron this year in football. Maybe even rather badly. ...and they have won championships, and I'm sure it's something to be proud of. To be honest, I am sure being at the top of the FCS is more fun than being at the bottom of FBS. Still, it's the FCS, so yeah. ... all that said, I don't see any reason to degrade the Youngstown area because of a few classless fans on a board. I hear people rip on the Youngstown area all the time. Do we really need to go there? I'm sure they've heard it all before. Nothing you say on the internet is going to change their opinion. Relax Quote
ZipRoo Posted January 7, 2012 Report Posted January 7, 2012 ...even still, YSU would probably have beaten Akron this year in football. Maybe even rather badly. Well that goes without saying. I continue to believe that some of the larger area HIGH SCHOOL teams, such as Mentor or Ignatius, could've beaten any team coached by Ianello. What Akron put on the field for the past two years is nothing short of a statewide embarrassment. Quote
akzipper Posted January 7, 2012 Report Posted January 7, 2012 Regardless, but no use ruining a Terry Bowden thread by bringing up that irrelevant glorified high school. Quote
Dave in Green Posted January 7, 2012 Report Posted January 7, 2012 Putting someone else down to try to raise oneself up is a practice best left to the losers of the world. Winners don't have time for that. Quote
