Re: Iup basketball
Regardless of the outcome the point is it will be a rare great atmosphere in the PSAC.
The type they need far more of ....
Rock and IUP should NEVER play over break. Ever.
Gannon lucked out and gets its IUP visit with students due to the snow storm several weeks back. That's another one that should always be scheduled with school in session.
IUP had 1,300 or so at the Rock game in early January. Play that now and it draws 3,300. At IUP's ridiculous prices ... That's a huge swing in the bank account.
For a cash-starved league ... just baffling how terrible it's run.
The league doesn't need us. We're already fans. What it needs is these types of games for the casual or first-time fans to witness. Tomorrow at Morrow will be nuts. Saturday the KCAC will be cooking. Playing these games over break only attracts the fans you already have.
All our schools have marketing and business deparments. Perhaps the clowns making these schedules should enroll.
Look what the MEC did this past Sunday. They made FSU hosting WL the only game and made it primetime (well, kind of). It was packed. It was the only game. It was on TV. It got viewers from the PSAC. They know it's a big draw every year. They cash in on it. Follow where I'm going here?Leave a comment:

There is definitely some truth to it being a student and not a player. Although, we can hype it up a bit!!!Leave a comment:

Re: Iup basketball
To be fair, I don't think it's SRU players talking trash. It's some dork who runs the student fan twitter page.
Even in the first game, all the dust-ups were more caused by the interaction between the crowd and SRU.
Of course, there was the Micah Till launching of Dante into another Rock player in the final seconds. It's still amazing all three refs missed that and Dante got a technical.
If he didn't fly in to that Rock player he might have landed in Row 19 of the KCAC. Till with a running start ... awfully big dude.Leave a comment:

Re: Iup basketball
Can't wait to see how this all plays out starting with tomorrow. I'd love for IUP to come right out of the shoot airing it out and run them off their own floor. It won't happen but after all the trash SRU has been talking, they deserve a butt kicking!!!Leave a comment:

Re: Iup basketball
You have to love Slippery Rock. They sure are excited for IUP coming to town.
The student fan page sent out a Tweet called 'Daddy's little boy is coming to town' with a picture of Dante. Of course, it's white out night. The tweet did make me laugh.
Several players are tweeting about it being the biggest game of the year. Next, we'll see it's being called the biggest game ever at Morrow (like they said a couple years ago). By 3 p.m. tomorrow, it will be the biggest single event in the history of Slippery Rock. Ever.
I guess some teams call regular season games the 'biggest game of the year'. Others call them 'regular season games'.
Their game with Gannon was pretty big last week, too. Only 600 showed up. At least 100 were probably from Erie. But, they will show up big tomorrow.
It's so ironic. They've talked crap on Joe for years and Dante for the past three years. Yet, Joe and Dante are the only two their students (or anybody) show up to watch. Slippery Rock has averaged an embarrassing 252 per game this season. They'll be near 2,000 tomorrow. All to see Joe and Dante.Leave a comment:
