Class of ’09 has had its share of adversity

November 9, 2008

YOUNGSTOWN No one on Youngstown State’s football team would admit it, but I guarantee everyone on the Penguins’ sideline was as nervous as they’ve been all season Saturday against Indiana State. YSU trailed, 21-7, and the Sycamores had all the momentum after scooping up a fumble and returning it 47 yards for a touchdown. Normally, a two-touchdown deficit wouldn’t be that big of a deal, but when it’s to a team that is considered the laughing stock of college football — ISU (0-9) lost 23 straight games and were outscored 418 to 56 entering Saturday’s game — it’s a big deal. As I sat in the press box, staring blankly at my friend and colleague, Pete, I started to wonder how difficult this loss would be for the 16 seniors who were playing in their final home game. An hour and 28 unanswered points later, those same seniors demonstrated why this group might be the most resilient I’ve ever seen play at YSU. No team I can remember has faced as much adversity as this year’s Penguins (3-8).

September 23, 2008

Apparently Jim Tressel wasn’t all that left Youngstown State seven years ago.

Some national respect for the football team must be intrinsically attached to the legendary coach because it’s gone, too.

Rowan's decision to quit the team might be regretful

September 13, 2008

Regret is one of the harder things in life to live with.

It keeps you up at night, forces to you to wonder what could have been, and that question, that thought of never knowing, it eats at you every day.
