Did anyone else see this clip of coaches from Youngstown on Gameday today? Pretty interesting, I think they said something like 14 of the last 19 teams to play in the BCS national title game had a coach on the team with Youngstown ties.

Impossible.

Yea I edited it. 14 of last 19 teams in it, not winners.

don't worry about it, you said "I think they said...", so you weren't making a definitive statement....anyway, it was an excellent story, and having ties to Youngstown, it was nice to see it shed in a positive light---GO 'GUINS!!!

That was awesome.

I thought the story was great...just a few problems with it.

- I hate whenever there is any type of story about Youngstown...they have to show run down dilapidated steel mills. I get it...the city isn't what it used to be. But to show those shitty abandoned buildings EVERY time there is a story about Youngstown is annoying.

- They pronounced Don Bucci's last name incorrectly.

- Mooney has 7 State Championships...not 6 as they reported in the story.


Other than that...I think it's really cool that all of those coaches have ties to Youngstown. And I think it's even cooler to have walked in the same hallways as guys like Bo Pelini and the Stoops brothers.

Very good piece. Don't let the Big Red posters find out I say a piece about Mooney was good I'll be run out of town EGAD!!!!!

I agree they always show abandoned buildings. It's very annoying!! It's the exact same thing I said to my mom yesterday when I called her to tell her about it.

I think it's the same footage that CBS showed before Mancini beat Frias for the title in '82. It's on a continuous loop.
