YSU Penguin Athletics > YSU Penguin Athletics

Countdown to YSU Season Opener!

<< < (27/52) > >>

IAA Fan:
I am from Central Ohio. I drive past the shoe every Friday night in the fall to go see the guins. I have turned down countless OSU tickets. I even drive up for the games that are televised & I cannot pick them up ...although that does not happen much anymore.

I do not dislike OSU, in fact my daughter graduated from OSU & I bought her season passes every year until she had a baby & not she does not have time. However, She has had a season pass for YSU games since 1986 (when I first found out my wife and I were going to have a baby). I am really not a big sports fan ...I am a big Penguins fan. I set up my tailgate when it is still dark outside, so there is no one at the parking booth to complain. It is just a matter of having priorities. Working on the web site takes up my free time, so I simply listen to sports radio for the news. Then mostly I read the internet for I-AA/FCS news.

The YO Show:
IAA Fan, my question was directed towards paladin since he said he was from central ohio. But your description also intrigues me. Dont get me wrong, I'm glad your a fan, Im just curious what caused you to be such a big penguin fan?  Did you attend YSU?

For myself, I grew up in youngstown. My family is from youngstown for 2 generations. Then we moved to the suburbs when I turned 12. Everyone who has graduated college in my entire family is a ysu graduate for at least their undergraduate degree. My uncle was even a ysu policeman back in the day and would take me to the games he had to work with my cousins when i was a child in the 90s and tressel was the coach.

So you can say I was basically born a YSU fan, but I also attended YSU for my undergrad (and now for my masters) and even if I hadnt "grown up YSU" I would have become a fan then because I was attending the school.

The YO Show:
Also want to thank you for your efforts with this website. I do imagine it is a good amount of work to upkeep. Also curious, do you have to pay for the hosting of the website? I would assume this is not sponsored by the university?

The YO Show:
Also, penguin nation, its 48 days today. The game was 7 weeks away from yesterday and 7x7 minus 1 means 48.

That's what happens when you go to school in Ohio.  :D  One day closer is even better!
