Yeah, that makes sense.

It does make sense. Go to any other city the size of Youngstown or bigger that has a college football team and see what if they mention anyone that doesn't attend their home college. You may hear something if they make the pros. No one but the kids family gives a sh**.
YSUGO:
I am glad they are writing about the kid, But Youngstown Football program was like 3rd fiddle on the weeks biggest paper. You have 2 of college footballs best Coaches and we play in the toughest FCS football Conference, do some research and write about that.

Joe Scalzo had a 20-inch story and a lengthy blog entry over the weekend. Links provided. And you're complaining because someone else got their picture on B1? Yes, because YSU football players never get their photos in the paper.
What else, exactly, needs to be researched and written about before anyone even arrives for camp? Did you read any of Joe's stuff?
All due respect, get back to me after camp actually begins and then tell me we aren't doing enough. Nothing much, aside from rumors about transfers, has happened since the end of spring workouts and we've still had stories — including Bo's talk with the Curbstone Coaches last week.
You can't say, with a straight face anyway, that the Penguins get no coverage.
But here's the question I have: Why, if there is a story about another player or another program, is it considered an affront to YSU? That makes no sense.
FYI, the Italiano story was originally scheduled to run Saturday. It was held a day because of space purposes. There is no vast right-wing (or left-wing, for that matter) conspiracy to prop up Kent State football. We just like local stories. All kinds of local stories.
And that, as they say, is the end of the story.
ValleyTalk:
I've had my issues with the Vindy's coverage in the past, which is well documented in my post history, however I was not at all irritated with the coverage. It was the first weekend in August, not September or October or November when football should be a front-page story.
If it were a Kent or Akron story in the heart of football season, sure I'd be upset, but cmon guys, let's not all get in a hissy fit over a story about an excellent student-athlete that embodies everything you should ask for in a young adult.
YSUGO:
I don't think there is a conspiracy just don't want to give the competition any advantage. Do you really think the Beacon would post a big pic and article of one of our local guys and talk about YSU football as the lead article on Sunday. Anyways I do think coverage has been a lot more informative and inciteful.
