Youngstown Looking Forward to Valpo in 2008!

[eguins]

I first want to say I am new here but I wanted to join because we are soon to be conference foes........again!

My team is Youngstown State as you could've guessed and we are definitely happy to see you join the Horizon.

I know a lot of fans who can remember the days when YSU and Valpo used to go at it. I remember back in 2000 and earlier the YSU-VALPO games would sell out YSU Beeghly Center.

As a fan, I am just telling you guys you are well respected in Youngstown and people are looking forward to seeing you guys again. We want to see those big crowds again at our place, and we do know the games vs. you guys will bring them.

I run my own new YSU fan site: eGuins Penguin Community. Feel free to join if you want.

We are having a decent year at 8-10 under our new coach, who has won nearly 600 games between his time at YSU and time in D2 and NAIA. I see you guys are having a similar type year. We have Butler next, so pray for us lol, although we did beat them last year and years past.

GLAD TO SEE YOU JOIN THE HORIZON!

Thanks, eguins.

Some here probably do remember those days. Others may not. I myself didn't start following VU basketball seriously until you guys were almost out the door.

I still have a Mid-Con game of the week on tape from 2001 when you guys played IUPUI in "The Jungle" and beat the Jags 73-71 It's a novelty more than anything, I suppose.

Good luck the rest of the year and we'll see you next season.

By the way, how active is ysupenguins.com. I have visited there a few times, but it seems quiet there.

The reason I began eguins was because ysupenguins.com was looking and getting old. People were complaining about everything, and it was just pissing me off. So I started eguins. I do hope to become the better site of the 2 by the end of this year...

Hope to see you guys come to town next year!
