Originally posted by IUPbigINDIANS View PostIt appears the KCAC crowd passed the test Saturday night. Fans are still permitted. It wasn't enforced (mainly due to the KCAC dying for employees) but the crowd seemed to listen pretty well. I'd guess -- for those in the seats -- 85% wore them.
The loophole is you can sit at your seat with a hot dog, take 75 minutes to eat it, and then not have to wear the mask.
At least we know what won Joke of the Year in Indiana, PA.

Originally posted by Ship69 View PostAnd with today's scorched-earth society and the abuse directed toward officials, it's probably a more thankless job than ever. It's getting hard to find officials in many sports, and whatever we think of some of the crews they're a necessary evil if we want to have athletic contests. The word in my area's Mid-Penn Conference is that they might not be able to play all their football games on Friday nights because they are short of officials. A local TV station said they currently only have about 12 football crews for a 36-team conference.

Neither Connor Ferrell or Lawrence Lemon played in Clarion's home loss to Gannon today.
Something to keep an eye on for Wednesday.

Mentioned the 3 p.m. tips the other day ... appears they haven't worked too well at the gate.
19-20 average attendance - 2,051
21-22 average attendance - 1,108
Now, the asterisk obviously is no fans were allowed for SRU and Cal, which likely cost IUP its two biggest gates of the year. The other traditional big game, Gannon, was played on a Monday and I'm not sure many people even knew there was a game that night.
I don't anticipate much of a crowd for Clarion on Wednesday ... maybe 1,200 or so.
Saturday should break 2,300+ for UPJ.

Previous post mentioned going back 10 years. Imagine going back 20 years to the Gary Edwards' era.
Joe has a lot of 'modern' size -- today's bigs typically are the tall/skinny type. Edwards had some dudes who made Micah Till look small.
I still think the year he won the Regional with 6 healthy players is one of the great stories in program history. It wasn't that he elected to play 6 guys. He only had 6 guys by that point. Imagine coming out for warm-ups with 6 guys. Granted, they had an incredible 6 dudes.
Obviously because of the ending here, his era isn't brought up much. But, some of Edwards' best teams could have hung right with Joe's best teams.

Overall I prefer the game be called (no called) the way this one was. When they let them play the game just flows better. It is infuriating though when they let them play all night and then call a touch foul down the stretch. I think all anyone wants is consistency.
We do see some uneven and at times downright bad officiating, but today's game with its bigger and faster players, three-point shot, clocks, etc. is not easy to call. And with today's scorched-earth society and the abuse directed toward officials, it's probably a more thankless job than ever.

Perhaps recently, but Ship had a lot of strange results before they started going to three a week, and they actually didn't have a lot of games postponed this season.

Kind of wild that 10 years ago, IUP was playing a grind-it-out style scoring 50 points with Josh Weigand playing center, and now it's Ethan playing the 5 leading the NCAA in 3-point percentage.

I think we've been spoiled with guys at that C/F position. It's been an embarrassment of riches. I missed Webb, but I saw Marcel Souberbielle in college and he was just a tremendous all around player. Jeremy Jeffers was a tremendous player for the 2 years he was with Joe as well. Obviously Cobo Diaz may be a top 5 player in school history. Ethan I think is overlooked in the grand scheme of things because he just happened to follow Cobo. But man, he is just tremendous. The only real "miss" Joe had at that position was Blake Danielak. And he wasn't that bad of a player. The two teams he was on were kind of those tweener/build up teams before their next run. I don't think he had the ability to take over in the manner that those other guys did, but I'm not sure he had the talent on the floor with him either.
If you were to look at Cobo, Marcel, Jeffers, and Porterfield, I'd be curious how everyone would rank them after Diaz.

That's a nice luxury out of your 6'9" center.
