Feeling a lot of momentum and program optimism after the Missouri State game!

Pretty neat preview from hero sports. They are one of my favorite sources for FCS coverage. Their preview is fairly optimistic. Think we can make a push for the playoffs this year.

YSU Penguin Athletics / SDSU Week

« on: October 08, 2018, 06:19:30 PM »

I think this is the make or break game for this team. If they play a complete game and stop missing those assignments Bo always talks about, an upset this week could be a turning point. And After seeing Indiana st push the bunnies this one seems a lot less insurmountable then it did a few weeks ago.

Everyone knows where we’ll be if we lose but I think this is a legitimate chance to change the entire narrative of the season.

YSU Penguin Athletics / Crazy Theory: Braxton Miller Transfers to YSU

« on: November 29, 2014, 05:13:29 PM »

I know it's nuts, but hear me out.

He's got to transfer anyway, if JT recovers in time, I doubt he can win the job back from him. So why not come dominate at a lower division? Here are some reasons it's plausible (okay maybe plausible is a strong word)

1) Tressel connection, Tressel recruited him, maybe he could sell him on the merits of being a penguin.
2) Guaranteed starting job.
3) Basically guaranteed national championship (well... that may be the most disputable)

Yes, it's totally ridiculous but at least fun to think about, mostly because of the Tressel thing. 

I think if we can get it some traction on social media and a little momentum we can get this to turn into a legitimate albeit ridiculous discussion in mainstream sports news.

I know all the reasons it wouldn't work... what we need is more reasons it COULD work! Here's our opportunity for a grass roots revitalization of the program!
