Haven't been on this site for quite some time. Really enjoy all of the comments. I too used to be a Penguin Club member in the late 90's only to withdraw in the Heacock era due to the drive from Mentor, OH and the regress of the program. Was not worth the investment or time.
Decided to attend my first game vs. Northern Iowa this in respect of the Seniors. A couple of observations reinforced all of your comments over the season. Keep in mind, due to the low attendance, that I sat in Section 3, Row 10 behind the Defense Players bench:
I noticed players actually DANCING to the music during the game and having conversations that nothing to do about the game. In other words, they were not fully engaged in the activities on the football field.
Granted it was Senior Day, but since when were the players permitted to talk to acquaintances DURING THE GAME. Again, mind was not engaged into the game.
Whatever happened to the "Beehive" as player exited and entered the field? The players came onto the field in groups, by themselves right to the sidelines. I overheard Bo yell, as he was putting on his headset, "Let's go..get the blood flowing". Why aren't they warming up as a group. Mentor High School football program has better cohesiveness that the Penguins.
Very disappointing....It appearead that NO ONE was into the game. That is the coaches fault. Very toxic environment, IMO, and that culture is going to take a long time to change.
