Minnesota State at Slippery Rock

[IUPbigINDIANS]

Totally different sport, but I don't know if you remember the coverage when IUP beat West Liberty in the Atlantic Regional in 2015. WLU does a phenomenal job with the media coverage when they have hosted that event. Always post the press conferences after the games from all teams. Had player interviews, etc. D1 type coverage.

The night IUP beat West Liberty down there the presser of St. Crutch got posted. The media room I'm assuming shared a wall with the visitors locker room in the ASRC. All you could hear through the press conference was the celebration in the IUP locker room. It was very similar to Rich Rod's presser after the 13-9 game where you could hear the commotion from the nearby Pitt locker room after the game. The next day West Liberty removed the press conference from the IUP game. Hilarious stuff.

It's funny to think back on how that massive 13-9 upset changed the landscape for so many in college football.

Had WVU won, Rich Rod wouldn't have taken the Michigan job (which was a disaster). WVU may have won the national title.

As for the night down at WL ... that was the best IUP has ever travelled for an away game. IUP took over the gym in the second half. It's in my Top 5 for games I've seen in person.

That's D2. With no real outside media covering the game for SRU they can pretty much dictate what gets released.

An that's exactly why you thought SRU would go further than it did this year.

Uh why did you edit my post and then make a response to my post that you edited?

Wow did not realize WF football program ONLY started in 2016!!

I agree. SR1 is behind. MSU is still better than SRU. MSU is one of the elite D2 programs right now. Lost to Commerce a few years ago. Ferris last year...and runner up this year.

But if some of the deep balls landed some positive momentum would've made it more competitive. SR1 isn't 58-15 behind. I'd assume Sweeting and Wynn are plenty fast enough to get behind MSU also if they could've got the ball accrurately.

WF also had a nice plan and pcs that could execute it. But a perfect 50 degree day helped those deep balls.

But I agree I don't see SR1 legitimately competing. If next year is close....i'll assume it was a bad day for the other region team until its more consistently competitive.

It's not the skill guys. They match up fine. It was the lines. MSM made SRU look like men vs boys.

Dry field the result is similar. SR1 is just behind. They are bigger, faster and most importantly, deeper.

If you look at their roster they have multiple players with the same number. If only IUP has that problem.

I agree. Its about as perfect as it could be for football.....and for passing ...and passing it deep. WF also had an OL that could block for the deep balls. The RT (6-3 290) was doing a nice job on 99.

It would've been interesting to see that weather last week. Some of those close misses ...maybe land...and get some momentum going. Because hypothetically... you could also see if WF had to go play in Mankato (bad weather)...in a final four....same two teams.....could've been a total different outcome.

I need to reevaluate my life. I am the same as IUPNation?

Well you might want to go back an reevaluate your choice of going to West Chester instead of IUP.

But if you loathe the GOP as much as I do then you are doing just fine.

Let's face it, after the Virtual Bye Mankato had last week they were out of touch.

Shows even more though how big a gap really exists between this region and the rest of the country.

PSAC teams need to try and nab some of the D1 fallouts from the Southeast it seems.

[PSACfan1]

yep. Learning the hard way how when you start playing ****ty and having mistakes....it can really snowball. Happened to SRU last week....now MSU.
