YSU Penguin Athletics / Re: YSU @ NDSU

I could go on and on, Red, about how lucky this QB is. The number of  dropped INTs , the overthrown balls, those throw into the dirt at the receivers feet from 5-10 yds. away , the control Montgomery keeps over him confining him to short throws , and being fooled on the D disguising the coverage or blitzes, it's been a lucky trip. However, the league is reading him well now. Besides being a Frosh,  his limited skills are coming home to roost. But I'll continue to read about how great he is. It will be a sad place around here for awhile until people catch on and his luck turns. Cheers!

I suppose I could ALSO go on and on about every point you made but in the opposite direction too.  You basically "what if'ed" his entire game.  If you are going to what if Hunter then you MUST what if every position of every team of every game. Now, i am not going to dub him the GOAT.  But, Balls are overthrown by every quarterback every game, regardless of age.  INT's are dropped by every DB in every game regardless of age.  We could also go on and on about "lucky" plays and players and games every hour of every Saturday of every football season.  Again, not saying he is the GOAT but c'mon man.

Hey Bob Hannon.  I really do love you buddy but how about next time you let fans call the show.  We don't need Chris talking for 15 minutes and sucking up all the time.

YSU Penguin Athletics / Re: Tressel accepts job as YSU President in principal

While i understand both sides of the debate...in my opinion "we" are the laughing stock of the country anyway.  We make a list as the worse place to live and then another list as one of the best places to raise a family.  Uhhhhhhh...make up your mind.  Who cares what the rest of the country thinks?!?!  I think what is MORE laughable is the "right guy" with the "right qualifications" left after a few months.  The country laughs at us regardless of OUR choice in YSU president.  Let them laugh from a distance...they wouldn't come here and don't want to come here anyway. So once again i say, who cares what THEY think!!!  The only thing that matters is what WE think and what OUR opinion is.  And at this point, the vast majority of OUR opinion seems to be in favor of the hire.

I'm sorry but i have to say this...and i get that he is the homer radio guy here.  But honestly, his facial expression and inflection when he says "cheated" is over the top.  It is more appropriate to say emphatically that YSU AND TRESSEL BROKE THE RULES and got away with it. However, cheat is too strong of a word and IMHO not even close to accurate. 

 Cheating by definition is
1.  To act dishonestly or unfairly in order to gain an advantage, esp. in a game..."  I'm pretty sure that Ray's car didn't give him any unfair advantage while he handed the ball off or threw a pass.  PERIOD!!!  Belichek stealing plays or spying to help win you a game is cheating...getting a free car is NOT!!!

Am i happy about the deception or the lying by anyone in this case...NO!   Should they have been punished more severely...YES!!!  Call him/them liars or dishonest or whatever...but cheaters is ridiculous.

Certainly the gameday crew coming to YSU is a longshot at best.  However, other than the team and coaches, why cant we the fans do whatever we want?  Why cant we look to next week?  I love the comments by bison fans saying WE/THEY need to focus on winning the next three weeks and getting seeded and they can no longer worry about this off the field stuff.  As if THEY actually will take part in the game.  For the rest of us, who cares if we as fans look to next week.  Who cares if gameday comes here.  I tell you what i do care about...the fact that there is more buzz going on over YSU FOOTBALL in the last 48 hours than in anytime in at least the last year.  And thats good enough for me.   

GO GUINS!!!

I thought with inducting Tressel into the HOF, the birthplace of referees flag and ESPN3 already there with cameras it might not be a bad idea.  Although i agree there is a verrrry slim chance is any at all.

YSU Penguin Athletics / Re: Fans suck

This thread is about as frustrating as our team is right now.  Im not going to check attendance records while we were under the tressel regime but please stop with this nonsense.  I will try to accept your arguments about the fans if you try to accept mine.  Here goes...and IMHO...i think i can categorize penguin football, as far as fan support, as about fourth on the importance meter at best. The following is ranking in order of importance:

1.  High school football
2.  Ohio state football
3.  Browns or steelers football
4.  YSU football

The way i see it is the top three get most if the attention and only when the guins dont lose 3 in a row do we get a good crowd. My goodness...i read that ndsu had a record crowd of 19k at their game against us.  Didnt we have something similar against uni.  And that was after a huge storm.  The reality is that our area cheers for YSU when they win.  Like it or not YSU football is overshadowed by the previously mentioned top 3/4.  I think we actually have respectable attendance records in relation to many of our counterparts.  I thought i heard something like 7k fans last week at ISU.  I would be willing to bet that we would have doubled that number, at least, had YSU played ISU At home last week.
