YSU Penguin Athletics / Fire D'Alesio

« on: October 19, 2019, 11:46:21 PM »

Someone please explain to me how the worst defensive back in school history (possibly MVFV history) gets a job as a defensive backs coach? that TD where they threw it to the TE was vintage D'Alesio.

YSU Penguin Athletics / Most Telling Stat

« on: October 12, 2019, 09:34:46 PM »

We gave up 22 unanswered points from the 7:22 mark of Q3 before scoring again......and our scores were gritty, low probability plays.

Bottom line is we don't have the depth the corn-shucker teams have. The 6-7 min mark of Q3 is when most FCS teams lose ground against FBS teams due to scholarship numbers. However, this is rarely the case for many of the midwestern states whose largest schools are playing at the FCS level. They take FBS full scholarship power 5 teams to the wire. I just don't know if we have that kind of depth. This is the reason why we cannot make mistakes.....because we cannot afford them because we can't overcome them against good teams.

YSU Penguin Athletics / What the hell is up with this board?

« on: July 10, 2019, 01:11:24 AM »

I am working on an MBA and have been absent for about 3 years.  I finish in June of next year and then all hell is going to break loose.  What the is up with this board?  There is no new information on the only sport that matters (football) and it is sad.  This thing is turning into the Vindicator....dying on the vine.  How much interest would be there if articles were written and you had to pay $0.50 to read it? I talking about 50 cents.

YSU Penguin Athletics / College Football Hall of Fame Atlanta

« on: April 28, 2019, 10:15:47 AM »

Recently had a chance to visit the college football hall of fame in Atlanta.  It is very well done. When you walk in there you get a badge and register your email address and your school.  Then as you go to certain displays the display recognizes the badge and it shows highlights and history of your school.  I think some schools send in memorabilia, especially with things pertaining to their most memorable games, championships, or something that makes their school stand out.  James Madison had a small display for example, although they have minimal tradition.  However, with all of the championships and tradition as well as our unique coaching history and coaches produced, we have nothing there except for an electronic display regarding Tressel.  A lot of people visit this place.

I had YSU gear on and when I walked in the door.  The people working there are college football junkies.  They immediately noticed Youngstown State they were very interested in my perspective.  They relayed info to other people working on different floors pf the building they came over and stopped me and started conversation.  They all seemed really impressed with the coaching history and all of the prominent coaches with connections.  They were telling me things I already knew but it was impressive that they knew so much detail. 

I think it would be good for us to send something regarding coaching and coaching trees, championships, the comeback win over Villanova and FAMU etc..over to them.  The Bison even had an ESPN display and an interactive game day experience where you get to pick the winner etc.

YSU Penguin Athletics / Bad play calling

« on: October 13, 2018, 05:27:48 PM »

why do you throw a 30 yard pass into a 30 mph wind with two high safeties? Dumb play call and bad throw cost us points.

YSU Penguin Athletics / Why isn't Payne returning punts and kicks?

The dude has some speed.  Coats is indecisive and he is not fast or powerful enough.

YSU Penguin Athletics / Season is over

« on: September 01, 2018, 06:49:52 PM »

I say play the younger kids and get the QB's ready for next year.  If you are going to keep your unqualified coaching staff and train them on the fans dime, go ahead and get it out of the way.  This game was an abortion.  I have never seen a team play that poorly in my lifetime and I have seen some bad games and bad teams.  We aren't going anywhere this year and we will finish near the bottom.  I did not expect this type of struggle with this team.  We were outcoached and outplayed.  We are inept.

YSU Penguin Athletics / When are we going to make a FG?

« on: September 01, 2018, 06:41:12 PM »

This is college football not HS football.  How many chances do you get to make them when they count?

YSU Penguin Athletics / Defense. What Defense?

« on: September 01, 2018, 06:39:38 PM »

D'Alisio's defense looked like it did when he was playing under Wolford.  What qualifies him? We looked inept.

YSU Penguin Athletics / YSU Football Media Coverage

« on: August 18, 2018, 11:25:05 PM »

The Trib has left Vindy in the dust when it comes to coverage of anything YSU.  Since Vindy lost Scalzo to the Canton Supository we haven't had good coverage from them.  Not sure who Puskas works for anymore but there just isn't enough from Vindy.  What is up with that Vindy? Indiana State has better coverage and they aren't really a football school.  I don't give a crap about HS football and the Uncle Rico's (here is the reference for those that don't know what I'm talking about https://youtu.be/xL-VX3WbA9U) that live in Youngstown are getting too old to sit and watch the HS games. It is time that YSU gets the coverage it deserves.  There should be 6 small articles per day or two more involved ones.  There is plenty to write about, especially with the conference being as good as it is, the state of the program, players, and campus facilities, as well as a storied program and coaches present at YSU.  This is just unacceptable anymore.

It is ridiculous that the coverage from the newspaper residing in the county seat doesn't hold a candle to the coverage from a newspaper that is further away.

YSU Penguin Athletics / OL

« on: August 15, 2018, 06:27:16 PM »

Haven't posted in a while.  Hello everyone, especially Wick and Pete on a stick (ysugo and I touch base via phone).

When is Bricillo going to be held accountable for the poor recruiting on the OL?  We made it to the championship game with Wolford's OL and he was especially good at recruiting that position because he played the game at that position.  We shouldn't be in this situation this many years in under Pelini.  Bricillo needs to do his damn job.  We should have depth here and it needs to be the #1 or #2 strength of the team to compete for a title.  WTF?
