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.

YSU Penguin Athletics / ESPN 3 Game Feed

« on: September 09, 2017, 03:53:08 PM »

Are you guys having problems?  Last week we had the Pitt feed had few issues.  Plus the game production is amateurish at best.  We are supposed to be an elite program.  This is far from elite.  It's a joke.  I know we are using students but I have seen better HS telecasts.

I think this might have legs the Horizon has become a lesser mid major since Butler left.  This article is a month old but their is stuff about this all over the internet.  The transfer rule is destroying mid majors and especially the Horizon.

YSU Penguin Athletics / Sunday tidbits

« on: February 05, 2017, 10:53:16 AM »

It looks like next year we will have a few 2 o'clock starts I want to say 3 and a couple of 6 o'clock  games and I think the last one is 12 noon.  We are still in play for the 6'5" rec. if true we are waiting till he graduates? In May or something like that?   Holding like 2-3 schollys for transfers and I heard McFadden is going to a big program and that his mom doesn't want him to go to YSU.  Sounded like he wanted too.  The loges won't be started till end of 2017 or 18.  Slocom is a dead man walking.  Hosek is officially done.  He will not play next year.  Injury to severe.  Probably all old news but I was bored!
