YSU Penguin Athletics / Re: Heard that a YSU Football Asst Coach was let go today!

When he was on Hannon's weekly radio show during the season, he said he wanted to move east in order to be closer to family and friends.  His wife was hired as Slippery Rock's women's BB coach in May of last year, so it's odd that he would leave after only 1 year.

Hey, here is a thought, hire Peters back as the head BB coach and also make him the Athletic Director. New head coach with some wins, 1 guy covering two positions, heck should free up some cash for recruiting.

Poetic justice as it were!

I always thought Peters did too much yelling and screaming, but if it gets rid of Strollo, I'm all for it.

Fan,

What have your contacts in the athletic department heard about this facility?  It now appears that it won't be usable until at least April.

ELPenguin,

When you have a chance, ask Harry Meshel why no meets have been scheduled.

Here's a link to the upcoming track schedule.  Odd that none of the meets are at home.  It shows the Horizon League championships being held in Geneva, even though the Horizon League's website still shows them in Youngstown.  I take it this means the facility is way behind schedule?

What is happening at the WATTS Center?

There seems to be no news about it on any web sites. Are they actually digging or is everything at a halt.

Someone on the other message board reported that they had some rebar in place, but that was about it.

Fan,

What's the latest from your "insiders" on this facility?  Nothing has happened at the site for over 3 weeks now.

What a surprise.  I just tried to check out the Williamson web cam, and the web page is not responding.  Maybe they took it down in order to move it to the WATTS site.
