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!
