After my usually round of golf at The Lake Club today.... A so called booster told me some new dirt on our penguin athletes.
A Men's basketball player has been caught taking and selling drugs to other YSU athletes. Now I have no idea if this it true or not... but supposedly he was selling them to athletes on the football team and his own teammates! WOW! All the player that have bought the drugs have been ratted out to administration and the coaches. Something must be done about this! Either all the athletes are drug tested or dismissed from the athletic programs. Our are already known for being bad performance wise - administration needs to make and example out of these kids and not just let them slide thru. Letting them slide thru will not stop any of the kids from taking drugs. Who's responsibility is it to control or educate the athletes on sports performance or street drugs? Is the the Coaches? Athletic Trainers? Administration? Someone needs fired if you ask me - If the last 4 years there has been 4 or 5 related issues with drugs and YSU athletics. Some action needs to be taken. If we want druggies on our teams then we should recruit downtown youngstown - We need to mold our athletes into upstanding citizens.
On a side note - I have not read anything on the website about and football team and community service! The last thing I read about was when Heacock was coach. These coaches need to stop preaching about winning and preach about character.

If you care about this program......you don't post unsubstantiated rumors.
Nobody wins by doing that. The bell can't be "unrung".
-
What Pizza said. It amazes me how so-called fans willingly trash our programs by publicizing unsubstantiated charges.
-
I'm not familiar with the Lake Club, just where is that? This is RumorMills one and only post. RumorMills profile location is listed as the Lake Club. Smells kind of fishy, but then again that smell does get penguins excited.
-
i did a google search and it's located in poland, oh. what do expect what comes from him. just look at his name rumormills. this thread should be deleted out until there is truth to anything
-
The Lake Club is a golf course over in Butler County PA. We really cannot delete a post that we do not like. I do not know anything of this though. You are right, it does seem "fishy".
-
The Lake Golf Club is not in Butler County. That is The Lake Arthur Country Club. If you Google Lake Golf Club it's in Poland,Oh. I didn't say i didn't like the thread. I said to delete it if the rumors weren't true.

1AA - the lake club is located on south ave extension south of western reserve road. Owned by Muransky I believe.
Regardless, would be nice to know if this is true or not, but nice of the board to be open minded enough to let it ride for now.

Poland players never pan out anyway. They all quit when the going gets tough. Look at the track record of thier FB players over the last 10 years.
-
Can't believe what I am reading.
Someone who has no first hand information posts something to BLACK BALL the University with utter gossip from a golf course outing/ IF, in my opinion, they had any common decency, would have kept the story to themselves. I, for example, went to a gathering of devoted YSU fans last evening, never mentioned this gossip......you know why......IT IS GOSSIP....... GOSSIP of this sort BREEDS HATRED.
Is that perhaps .......the goal of the poster??????????

Truer words have never been spoken. And it just isn't football with the Poland "athletes." Also men's bkb (Fender) and women's bkb (Gaudiose) who were quitters.

Where did this come from?
Maybe it is time for this thread to just go away
-
It would appear that the source got the rumor from the Poland metropolitan area. Read into it.
-
This rumors is just sad to read. Please remove this item from the board. I don't believe that a "booster" would come out and say these things with out some proof (name names). Let's see, maybe I can start one myself by saying the Pete the Penguin and Penny are now separated and seeking a divorce. A "booster" told me this while fishing at Lake Glacier.
-
I am not one for censorship, but when someone posts this kind of unsubstantiated bullsh**, I would recommend taking it down. This type of post is not constructive to the kids, the football program, the athletic department, and the university.
This is the same crap that SI, Yahoo, and ESPN publishes.........unsubstantiated rumors that they claim as investigative reporting. Please take it down
-
I am slowing losing my respect for some of the people who post on here. I've quietly read over the last two years your comments, some were good..... some were bad, most seemed well thought out. And most were knowledgeable. YSU fans know football.......at least most of them do.
But I will humbly tell you folks, if you don't know where the Lake Club is.....if you don't know Ed Muransky (Mooney) owns it, if you don't know he made a "cow field" into a beautiful track......if you don't know he has donated his cash to the Poland Library and the Poland HS program.........and if you don't know of some very good athletes who have worked their butts off from Poland like Bill Duggan and Gannon Hulea.....(great kids all).....than IMHO.....you shouldn't be posting on here. Because you do not know of what you speak.
No disrespect intended....but the people I've mentioned above have made an impact and contributed greatly to the YSU program. And they have done it the proper way.
When we aggressively attain and dilgently maintain the tradition of people and athletes who CARE about this great program locally, which Coach Wolf is actively doing, than we are on the right track.
That's just my humble ......AND INFORMED......opinion.
-
There are going to be all types of people posting on here ...good and bad. Knowledgeable and not so knowledgeable. We cannot just delete every thread we do not like. I agree it is unsubstantiated, but let's just leave it alone, and it will drop off by itself.
As to people not knowing about Ed Muransky, and golf courses. No big deal. Just tell us ...that is what the board is for ...to help keep us more informed. You do not teach a student by first saying they are stupid, then why? Are you going to refuse someone from posting because they do not know these things? Are you going to refuse him a beer in the tailgate lots because he does not golf (therefore not know or care about golf courses in the area)? Are you going to refuse him a seat at a YSU football game because he does not know info on benefactors? By me typing this, I just push the thread back up to the top.
-
I find it it kind of funny everytime something conterversial is posted the other site makes a comment that how stupid it is...makes you wonder who is posting the stuff..my guess its the other site....i don't know why we can't all get along.

YSUGO
As soon as everyone GROWS UP, we will ALL get along.
You know when that will be....the second Tuesday of
next week..... NEVER, it will never happen. People are
born to argue about stuff that doesn't even matter
Give some credit tho, at least they realize hearsay should
not have been posted to begin with. YSU deals with enough
problems that are for real, hearsay stuff is not needed.
Just my opinion; but then I'm an "oldie", (not me, just my
years on earth).

I agree. Will I see you and Ray in Carbondale?? :-*

I never knew we did not get along. I do not even know the people fb All we have to do is stop posting and it will fall off the page and out of everyone's mind. I do not want to delete the post though, as you said Pita, at least people are smart enough to see the difference.
-
BigRed.....tho we are both well; doubtful we'll go to Carbondale, but
at least I've learned, never say never.
Hope you and yours are well and happy.

For me if you are not interested in Golf , Football and Beer, then why bother even waking up in the a.m.
I have a "ton" of rumors and so-called inside info rattling around in my head for the last 12 years. Some true, some ridiculous, but all privileged.
I had some beers with a YSU asst coach last Thursday and I won't repeat one word of what was said, well except for "sure I'll have another one".
Posting about something a "booster" told you at a golf outing is absurd.
Hell, Ray once told me the ACLU was a boon to this country and look how that's turning out.
(ps: I mean "boon" as "advantage" per se.) ;)
Can't wait for the beer margaritas Darrell, and the Manhattans, Pita.
