This is starting to get silly. Take it easy and remember there is more to life than football, beer and hate.

Go Guins you are a very angry and probably lonely old man. I don't know what made you so bitter and resentful but I am ashamed that you are a YSU fan. narrow minded and intolerant old coots like you are tedious and rather pathetic. Oh, my family loves hockey and attends the games with me. You really should think about professional help.

Yes I am. It didn't start off that way but you quickly demonstrated your ignorance. I didn't realize that you would fight so hard to stay ignorant or to think you were beyond learning something. You conservatives can dish it out but you can't take it. Please believe whatever you want to believe the opinion of one cranky old geezer isn't going to matter much.

YSUGO THAT'S PRETTY LAME . football IS KING.....NOBODY IS SAYING IT ISNT ! But there are other sports that lots and lots of people are just as fanatic about. You guys are starting to sound like a bunch of tired old republican xenophobes . Trying to communicate with you is like trying to teach algebra to a chimpanzee, you are stuck in your ways and everybody is going to do it your way because you're....... what .......a tired old bunch of xenophobes? I don't think so. So you don't like hockey, who gives a rat's behind ? Apparently the rest of the world didnt get the memo. Take your medicine, go to a Klan meeting or just grow up but save yourself the embarrassment of a post like that.

YSU has had a "club" hockey team for years. So we are talking about YSU sports. And for my parochial friend (and Im not talking about someone who supports Catholic school athletics) Robert Morris has had an NCAA Div I hockey team since 2003. I really think your afraid hockey could become popular after all it's one of those "foreign" sports all the way from the foreign and exotic land of Canada. Which sport by the way isnt foreign either in its current form or its original form? Oh . sorry for sounding like an "academic nut case", sometimes I find it necessary to speak in more than one syllable. I'll try to tone it down for you. Football.......good, Hockey........bad. How's that?

So why not a hockey team for you, lots of other smaller schools manage to have hockey teams. I think we are in agreement that the interest and desire is there. Then how about a curling team?

Not sure what your point is , Ive never surveyed fans at a YSU football game about Kyle Conner (and I bet you havent either now have you?) BUT if we surveyed a hockey crowd they might not know who Derek Rivers is . What does that prove? It proves we have a very parochial fan base (and I dont mean they only support Catholic Schools). They havent been challanged or encouraged to broaden their sports interests. And then we have a show calling itself sports wrap that caters to their parochialism. By the way Ive been to most of the Phantoms home games and I would estimate 30,000+ in attendance for last season. That is almost as much as YSU's football home attendance and certainly more that YSU basketball. Doesnt sound like a big "0" impact to me.

I was referring to impact in a larger sense than what grabs the attention of the average Y town fan. Kyle Conner who played for the phantoms was a first round NHL draft pick, we dont see that sort of thing coming out of Y Town very often. That is huge. Hockey fans accross North America knew who Kyle Conner is and who the Y Town Phantoms are. That is huge. The USHL is a Tier I Jr league., the players are highly talented. When the Penguins were first formed in Pittsburgh, no one came for decades. I think you under estimate local fan interest in hockey and the Phantoms. Interest in a sport increases with promotion and discussion and that is my original gripe with Sports Wrap either they were uninterested or just to lazy to find out more about hockey, local and national.

actually I like the new radio show on sundays , it provides a healthy counterpoint to the official state propaganda that all good party members are expected to support. Wasnt completely sold on sports wrap because they didnt spend more time on YSU and hardly any time on phantoms hockey which is one of the best and most impactful sports attractions in our community. Who is Kyle Conner and why is he important to Youngstown and the NHL?

golly go guins dont you remember our presidents discussion with Billy Bush? It was taped. If it's an old white guy it's just locker room talk but if it's a minority, they cant ever be redeemed. He was a stupid , drunk 16 year old kid. Trump was a 50+ white millionaire a-hole and we totally exonerated him.
