YSU Penguin Athletics / Greg Reid

« on: August 01, 2012, 05:15:22 PM »

My favorite FBS team, FSU, has just lost its electrifying corner/returner Greg Reid for his 3rd minor offense. Reid said he will not go to D2 North Alabama as most such FSU players do. I realize this is very optimistic, but Reid is very close with FSU defensive coordinator Mark Stoops, a Youngstown guy. He cannot transfer to 1-a. Maybe YSU would have a shot at landing an incredible player at a position of need?

 24 does seem more natural than 20, but I think we are in danger of the FCS becoming college basketball. I like the playoffs, but I don't want the regular season to become too devalued. 24 gives byes to the top 8, which is nice, but I really hope we don't ever go to 32.
