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.
http://www.vindy.com/weblogs/penguin-insider/2015/aug/01/breaking-down-ysus-fall-camp-roster/http://www.vindy.com/news/2015/aug/02/ysu-football-pelinis-promise-all-eyes-on/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.
