YSU Penguin Athletics / Re: Duquesne game

« on: September 14, 2024, 08:26:42 PM »

I started another thread about Brungard.  Look I’m not a coach but went and watched a lot of football.  I know Brungard is a legacy due to his father.  I know Brungard is a good athlete.  But I also know he doesn’t pass the eye test on mechanics etc. If they wanted him. To be THE guy then either you work in his mechanics the last 2 years or we needed. To change to an option if rpo offense this isn’t rocket science.  His receivers bailed him out with countless bad throws. 
I know the D sucked last year but losing 10 guys is not sustainable will take this year and probably another year of recruiting.  Find a damn QB.

YSU Penguin Athletics / Phillips Brungard Defense Crowd size

« on: September 14, 2024, 05:23:23 PM »

Where do you start?
Our QB has D1running mobility and a D3 arm
Our D- What D? 
Coach Phillips right now you’re on the clock.  I’m sure you will get another year or 2 with we need to develop the D and we need a QB.
Crowd size-  beautiful day they were everywhere but YSU

YSU Penguin Athletics / Valpo Football budget vs Youngstowns Football budget 2023

« on: September 08, 2024, 04:32:27 PM »

I have said all along FCS is a joke do to who spends what and how they pick teams for the playoffs.  Some conferences are non scholly some don’t offer the full 65.  So we are in a league where we truly are at a disadvantage with travel and doesn’t fit and considered tbe best league
Valpo in a non scholly league put up 25 pts on us yesterday any guess what their football budget is?
There are 118 players on the Valpo men’s football team, and they are led by one head coach and 10 assistant coaches. The team’s academic progress rate of 956 is one sign of how well teammates do in the classroom.

The Valpo football program paid out $1,221,326 in expenses while making $1,272,347 in total revenue.
Youngstowns stats
The Youngstown State University men’s football team is made up of 121 players who, in turn, are trained and guided by a head coach and 12 assistant coaches. In terms of how well they perform in the classroom, the team has an academic progress rate of 956.

On the money side of things, the Youngstown State University football program brought home $4,230,772 in revenue and paid out $4,230,772 in total expenses

YSU Penguin Athletics / Re: Valeo week

« on: September 07, 2024, 04:42:56 PM »

Thoughts through the 3rd quarter
No crowd no atmosphere it’s embarrassing as I watch it on TV.  I watching it because I live in Florida now
Defense is clueless.  One play the WR for Valpo was sooo wide open.  The color guy ion ESPN said Jesus!  When that played developed.
We should be working on our passing game . Not running in the second half. We are playing a non scholy team 
Stupid just add Beau running here in the 4th
We spend what 3-4 million a year on Football vs what does  Valpo spend maybe a million.  They are getting way more bang for the buck
We still don’t know how to use timeouts. 
Just watched Beau run again. Guess personal stats are more important than improving our passing game.
Not impressed.  I feel we are not preparing for our league schedule.  Time will tell

CIMO is right FCS is irrelevant.  The problem is all the old school fans think we are still in 90’s.  Plus us being in the prairie dog conference destroyed any momentum this program had from those ancient championships.  Kids want exposure and want to be D1 athletes. The MAC may be a bottom D1 but for exposure they have way more than 95% of FCS.  Now with NIL  teams like YSU will lose talent more then they can develop or acquire.  I have heard for 20 years how you all said the MAC was done.  Lol they are still kicking.  Strollo is alot to blame on this. He is a great bean counter but no vision on where of what direction our football team should be.  We can’t afford top assistants which was never addressed as long as I can remember.  If Phillips doesn’t last you would have to be an idiot to come here without the dollars to get good assistants.  Our program is dying a slow death year by year. But hey we are u. FCS and in the MCFC  as 4K are. I the stands and we are everyone’s homecoming game.  It just pisses me off what could have been and achieved with a different thought process at the top.

I didn’t see the game but we had what 3 turnovers from QB1 and it looks like he couldn’t get ball downfield.  DP knew this day was coming after Davidson’s graduation.  We already see the failure at recruiting in the D with the mass defections and overhaul of what 10 guys. That is a fail in that side of the ball.  Now we see u. Flux still figuring out what we have at QB.  As for PenguinPower saying we will be better but not know it due to our conference. Then that’s a fail too.  He was brought here to get us up the ladder not go back down the ladder.

Not b****ing but to have all that turnover doesn’t usually  breed success.  The coaching staff signed off on all those recruits and what does that say about their talent evaluation?  10 mistakes? If this was Ohio State or any other top program the HC would be gone.  We will see how it goes.  QB still concerns me more than D. Our opponents will force us to pass let’s hope the locals who seem to be favored can do it. That right now is glaring weakness but all could be changed with a good performance against NOVA

I don’t understand how we are 13 in all of College Basketball in NIL?
So let’s see Duke Kentucky  USC  Ohio St Alabama  Texas Texas A&M West Virginia Kansas  Arizona  UCLA LSU Miami.  We are claiming we are 13th in all of Basketball makes no sense we are on par with the big boys!  Yea right.  Why would our coach leave?

It seems the defense got torched but I agree Brungard going 8-16 is a concern

I’’m not surprised by the lack of interest. The fans aren’t stupid.  Tired of FCS being in a league that the average fan could care less about.  No rivalry games.  With all the mediocre seasons Ohio State is the main fan favorite as well as high school football.  The house that Tressel built is a distant memory.

Let’s see 10 new starters on Defense
Lost you’d QB1 and WR 1

40 new faces on team.  Not a recipe for building a program

NIL and thd transfer rule has made it even harder to recruit here at YSU.  From what heard our LT could have left for $$$ but didn’t bolt yet. The economics are against us if we recruit and develop a lot will be poached now.  Expect more defections if we are decent.

QB is unproven and now with NiL etc unless we pay for a decent one nobody’s coming if none guys pan out.
But 10 new guys on D that’s atrocious and honestly if we get lit up it’s on Philips .  5 or 6 wins  if less than 4 the clocks ticking

I suggested a few years ago. We either need to drop down in division or go into a different conference like NEC and become the big fish in the conference, kinda like Mount Union is where they make the playoffs every year and people like winners and help build a base it’s either that or go up division but stay where we’re at does nothing to enhance or improve the fanbase, etc., some of you think Staying in the conference it’s such a great thing because it’s a toughest one in FCS.    But that only works if you’re a big winner and have rivalry which we have either, it’s destroyed everything that was accomplished 30 years ago. Yes, I said 30 years ago we will become a irevelant Not just nationally but locally.  It’s time to have a vision instead of staying with the status quo.

Due to lack of real funding to have a Competitive program.  I love baseball but maybe it needs to be shut down.  Use the money to start a different mens sport.
