YSU Penguin Athletics / The Founder of this message board has died
« Last post by Wick250 on November 17, 2024, 10:13:07 AM »A former poster has informed me that IAA Fan, the founder of this message board, passed away on November 1. Below is the information if you are interested:
https://www.dignitymemorial.com/obituaries/columbus-oh/daniel-crum-12058986
Whether you agreed with his stances on the issues, nobody could question his dedication to YSU and his financial commitment to promoting our sports through this board.
I would guess that this board has a fast-approaching expiration date. Perhaps the moderators could tell us more about that.

2025 goooooGuins!!
I agree, beating UNI regardless of how good or bad they are, is always a good thing, it was not the best of years, but there are always good things to be found if you are looking.

Almost impossible to know which coaches will be good working in the new world of college football, changes are too new. One thing that we do know is that we cannot have too much NIL money.

If we had kicked the extra point and went into another overtime, they would have scored easily and we would have had to score to keep up. And I think in the overtimes after the first, you need to go for 2. I just don't think we could keep up with them with our D done at that point in the game. So good call by the coach in my opinion.
As for Brungard, I think he finally showed me he could throw the ball down field effectively. Some of his throws showed an arm strength I had not seen previously. He needs to work on proper mechanics since he throws off his back foot much of the time. But with his Dad and Tomczak to help him over winter, hopefully he can get good throwing mechanics to help him throw down field with the needed accuracy and velocity and stretch defenses which was missing most of the year. Not sure if it is receivers, O line, play calling, etc., but opposing defenses sure stacked the box against us much of the time. Hopefully with this years’ experience he will be a more effective all around qb.
As for over the winter changes that need to be made, who knows for sure. Are our coaches good enough? Which of our current players stay or leave? Which of our returning players are good enough or can grow into players that are good enough? Will the coach have the strength to pull support from some that do not measure up? Can we keep those on our roster that are good enough to play effectively at our level? How much NIL money can we gain and have to spend on our roster? Can we evaluate transfers that are needed and get them here?
This new world of college football is entirely different than the past. Using the methods of the past will not work. This off season will show if Coach Phillips is up to this new world of college football coaching at our level. I sure hope so since I feel he has many good qualities needed for our program at YSU

Even last year with playoffs on the line our final regular season game attendence was bad. Today seemed ok considering. I think noon games are the hardest to get to.

I heard 2nd semester which doesn't give a clear date. Pretty sure he had a break in one of the bones or a fracture.
