LeRoy is a playmaker.  Great acquisition by BP.  Great career start for Zak.  Webb killed it Saturday.

Think Kennedy can be one of the best of all time, not sure people know how impressive it is to make a 44 yarder in that stadium.

Kennedy was great....The guy last year was preatty damn good too. Became YSU's all-time career FG% leader. but I'm partial because he's my son. Actually Joey and Zak are very close, they trained together quite often.  Joey is now back in Calif. but he's talk to Zak all the time giving him advise and encouragement.

Hey, "Joey's Dad", nice to know you are still paying attention to the Quins!  You visited with us in the tailgate lot several times duing Joey's career, (behind Nate Adams' motorhome) Anyway, we miss you and Joey, but Zak seems like he will be a fine replacement!

Hello Go Guins, I definitely remember you guys, those were great times for our family. We follow YSU closely, I'm sure we always will. Youngstown was good to us.

Zak is gonna be a good one, he already is. The future is bright for that young man. Joey couldn't be happier for him. Last thing Joey wanted was for the kicking game to suffer after his graduation. Thankfully, the current specialist seem to have things under control.

Rick,
You and your family were good to YSU!  Great to hear from you and know you and Joey doing good.
Yes it was fun, but no reason future isn't even brighter.  Thanks for your support.

Totally agree--he did a fantastic job for us and I appreciate it even more when a player comes from as far as California to help us out--also glad to see that his dad still follows the Pens :)

When the Boogeyman goes to sleep every night, he checks his closet for LeRoy Alexander.
