YSU Penguin Athletics / YSU men’s Basketball game vs Binghamton or whoever it is

« on: December 15, 2018, 02:28:41 PM »

I haven’t watched a game and 2 years and I put it in today.   We look bad.  We can’t shoot.  We look like a play ground pick up team.  I don’t see one player that is truly a Div 1 starter.  I won’t be watching again!

YSU Penguin Athletics / The Football program is broke and time to overhaul the Athletic Department!

« on: November 18, 2018, 11:41:38 AM »

Good coaches recruit, make adjustments in game, and game plan to their talent, and opponent.  YSU staff this year would get an F.  We are soooo behind the eight ball that a few little tweaks won’t be enough.  The line coach should be fired. Stoops should be fired, hell the all need fired. I hit the number on the nose on 4 wins this year.  I as a alum, former penguin club member who will not donate another dime till we completely overhaul the Athletic department, and the Football program.  We are in the Wrong conference, no rivalries to build a fan base.  I can go on and on.  1k in the stands for Senior day is unacceptable.  It needs to be fixed. IT starts at the top and the Athletic Dept. needs a new vision and house needs to cleaned. From marketing and deciding if the conferences we are in are really where we need to be.  If we can’t afford good coaches we will NEVER compete at a championship level.  We are out of home town discounts.  You lost me as a diehard yesterday I didn’t even watch it live I did holiday stuff. I haven’t even watched the tape yet.  If you lost a diehard like me why the hell would anybody else want to be a fan etc.  signed a distressed YSU fan!

YSU Penguin Athletics / Duzzer+Heacock+Pelini=mediocrity

« on: October 13, 2018, 06:14:43 PM »

Youngstown St football other than the Tressel years and a few years in the 70’s has been a mediocre program.  We are a joke. We need to totally clean out the athletic office as well as the coaching staff.  If this was a private business the fire sale would have begun.

YSU Penguin Athletics / Vindy article about 1993 championship season

« on: September 13, 2018, 10:24:33 PM »

Good article.  Everything they talk about is what is missing on current teams.  We were physical, mentally tough, had good defenses and special teams.  Tressel made a quote and says he went 9 or 10 championship games with 8 different QBs between the bucks and penguins. He said his staff prepared them and coached them to their individual talents.  That’s what the great ones do.  Boy where we spoiled by

YSU Penguin Athletics / The reality of Youngstown St. Football

« on: September 03, 2018, 05:08:04 PM »

Reality:  The football program has regressed to the point it is no longer a top tier contender in league play and is no longer a National power in FCS.

Diehard fan board perception.  Still predicting playoff seasons and thinks we are an FCS power.

Reality: The state of Youngstown has lost population, and is no longer a premier HS recruiting hotbed.  Loss of many different companies has hurt the area as well.  The money has dried up.

Perception.  If we just recruit this area we will win.  Where are all the fans?  Why aren’t more people donating money etc to the a Penguin Club. Etc

We are in denial on this board because of what happened 25 years ago. The powers to be never got us to the next level when we had the chance. The area is dying and the fan base is dying off and the millennial don’t give a sh**.  We can’t afford to spend what we are spending and never get to the playoffs.  Now the Butlers are beating us and spending pennies on the dollar in their program.  It hasn’t worked since Tressel people!

YSU Penguin Athletics / Marijuana testing for athletics

« on: July 07, 2018, 10:27:13 AM »

So it seems that the only time the NCAA tests for weed is championship events.  So does the university randomly test athletes and do they test the same as the NCAA.  When we had the suspensions the championship year could they have been prevented.

YSU Penguin Athletics / Horizon League Men’s Basketball tournament and League

« on: March 05, 2018, 08:28:49 PM »

I have been out of loop since I moved to Texas.  I have watched a few games and I am watching the Cleveland st. Vs. Oakland semi final on ESPN. It is horrible basketball.  This league is a shell of itself since VALPO and Butler and Loyola left.  Playing in a nearly empty building and the announcers are bored silly.  If I was the NCAA i would take the bid away and make the champion play in. Thats how weak this league is now.

YSU Penguin Athletics / FCS Championship Tomorrow here in the Dallas metroplex and nobody cares!

« on: January 05, 2018, 09:19:22 PM »

I live East of Dallas and Frisco is like 40 minutes away if there was a Championship you would never know here in the metroplex.  I watched the Sports tonight no mention and the Dallas Morning News newspaper did not mention it.  The NCAA took out an ad on the bottom of the first page.  What a joke and a disgrace how the NCAA markets FCS.  I took a picture but looks like I can’t attach it. Here is the stupidity of the NCAA,  the game is played in a pro soccer stadium. Why? Nobody cares here about this game.  Why not play it at The Pro football HOF.  I know Div 3 is moving the game.  Very sad.
