Usually Vindy has articles posted online but recently very few. I won't subscribe because I live in 875 miles south of Youngstown and have little use for the news paper as it really has nothing in it that pertains to me. Now I would pay for access to the YSU sports section, but when I lived in Youngstown, it was usually full of bullsh** HS football with one to 3 articles per week dedicated to the Penguins football team. I don't want to pay for stupid HS coverage, and I have a good enough eye to fully understand what is happening in the games. I have access to YouTube and the mvfc conference calls to get all the information I need. But it would be nice if the the articles were posted online. I just checked to see what everyone was talking about and the last article was posted on August 10th. Every other college town newspaper has more free coverage than that. Are things that bad over at Vindy or have all of the uneducated Uncle Rico's taken over your market? I know there are a lot of them, because they used to dedicate about 10 min on Sports Talk (or whatever its called on 570) to YSU around noon on Sundays. It is really symbolic to me and fits so well to the mentality that needs to change in order for the area to get back to being an economic powerhouse again.
In case you don't know who Uncle Rico is:

The best use of the Vindy is to train your dog to take a proper deuce. Luckily Chompers will be fully trained when print media is dead in a few years.

Yes, the days of a reporter staffing every practice are gone. Our YSU guy also does other things, even if some of you aren't interested in them. Those other stories must be done because other people will want to read them.
We're happy to be at as many practices as we can realistically attend, factoring in the other stuff that is on our YSU guy's plate. It's nice to be able to report on the team up close. Remember, as recently as two years ago, YSU's then-coach wanted no part of having practices covered. I'll leave it to you guys to figure out why that was.
But to my larger point, clearly there has been plenty of YSU camp coverage in print. For those of you who don't like newsprint on your fingers, the coverage clearly is also online and there is more on Twitter at https://twitter.com/CgroveVindy.
I don't like message-board drama, but I just can't allow an anonymous troll to outright lie that there have been no YSU football stories done. I hope it really didn't take a list of stories for most of you to realize that the post in question was complete bunk.
Be sure to catch the next story we won't write after Saturday's scrimmage. ;)
