Keep winning FB games + build new stadium (remodel - however you must word it) = climb that ladder (Montana - here we come!!!)

Makes you wonder what our attendance would be if we counted like most other schools do?!?

You wouldn't be talking about the Bison would you??

Or the Gophers? I actually felt a little embarrassed that day at TCF when they announced 50K plus at the SDSU/UM game. Maybe 30K were actually there. That's a big difference even if you use "2 year old counting".

Go Jacks!!

Bison, U of M, Oral Roberts...the list goes on and on. Makes you wonder why the NCAA doesn't do a better job of auditing that kind of thing. They have their hands in absolutely everything else!

Well, Youngstown was ranked ahead of us in attendance, coming in at 16th, and that might be the biggest joke of them all. They announced an attendance of 10,780 for the game against us and if you saw the stands, they were lucky to have 4,000 people there.

I was there at that game and would be shocked if there was 2500 there and at least a couple hundred were in the SDSU section. And worse yet it was their homecoming!

We had to do whatever it took to send a message to our athletic director that we wanted Heacock GONE! We got him gone and signed a top notch coach named Eric Wolford.

We just signed a 4-star running back today out of Florida in the 2010 class. This is NOT a transfer, we SIGNED a 4-star recruit. We also signed a 3-star recruit and a handful of 2-star recruits.

Watch out FCS, here we come!

This just in from the Times' Greg Auman:

Former Dunedin running back Adaris Bellamy, who signed with USF in 2009 but was told last month there was no longer a scholarship available to him with the Bulls, will sign today with Division I-AA Youngstown State, his high school coach said Wednesday.

"He could play at a higher level, but I think he'll be a star there," Mark Everett said. "He's excited. He just told me his goal is to win the Walter Payton Award (given to the

I was at the game, there was not 10,000 there, but there was more than 2,500 there too. The loges are usually packed for all the games too, we have 32 of them and most seat between 15-40 people. Of course you do not see them from the stands but yes, we use PAID attendance, not BUTTS in the seats attendance.

Bellamy is going to be a fabulous back for YSU. The attendance will be UP UP UP this year with Wolford as our coach. This recruiting class is one of the best ever at YSU.

Re: Jackrabbits 17th in FCS attendance.

Is there no attendance in the Ytown forum either So they come here? Just kidding...nice to see someone's keeping tabs on us. I believe the Montana attendance #'s and of course ours. I too was embarassed for U of M when they announced their attendance....I think that's info better left not shared. Of course I've been kind of embarassed for the U of M for some time now.

Okay maybe 2700, I probably underestimated the SDSU crowd at 200, probably more like 400.
