IUP Football 2019

Re: IUP Football 2019

So what is going on with the official IUP Athletics website? Certainly, there has to be something to say about football. We already know it is the off season but, seriously, IUP is one of the consistent stellar programs in D2. Surely there must be something interesting to report. I would hope that those in charge of the site would be working to build some excitement for the upcoming season. Come on, throw us a bone or two!

There will be a billboard going up along some podunk road in Homer City soon along with a schedule poster in the Ninth Street Deli. That will be the marketing blitz for the season. It really is terrible. They should be blowing up social media with countdowns, hype tweets every other day, etc.

Roster-wise, I'd guess it's not quite complete. They've likely had some subtractions and additions. Cross your fingers for no major (bad) surprises like last year.

Re: IUP Football 2019

True. That actually felt like an IUP home game anyway.

Well, it was actually a better IUP crowd AT West Chester than we typically get at Miller. Way more enthusiastic.

Re: IUP Football 2019

Wish they'd bring it back. That Giant Eagle market killed it ... then it bailed out.

That property has been vacant for a couple years now. I've heard the lease they want is insane.

A Buffalo Wild Wings would boom there.

Why rotate the State Game? Top seed should host.

IUP, for example, had an undefeated regular season in 2017 and had to go on the road.


Obviously the 'neutral site' theory is a loser as there'd be 250 people at the game.

Sneaking beer in to the dorms was half the fun.

Primarily because it's part of the regular season conference schedule. For 2019, all the West teams host the first week of the conference schedule and all of the East teams host the last week of the conference schedule. But also, it's quite possible that both teams are undefeated heading into the last week, and the conference (that is, the member school's athletic directors) decided that equitable tiebreakers due to an unbalanced crossover schedule are difficult to determine.

Re: IUP Football 2019

Gotcha. Thanks for that explanation.

Welcome. I forget to mention that if IUP and Ship win their divisions, then the game will be played as scheduled and it will be for the PSAC championship.

Re: IUP Football 2019

What that means is if IUP and Shippensburg do not when their respective divisions they will play the game as scheduled. However, if one of them wins their division (IUP of course) then IUP will play the PSAC East leader (say Shepherd) and Ship will play have to play who ever Shepherd was supposed to play. I'm not sure who hosts the PSAC championship this year, East or West. For our purposes, lets say it's the east, then IUP would play at Shepherd. If it's the West, IUP would host Shepherd.

Re: IUP Football 2019

Thinking back to college, they would randomly do searches of the mini-fridges, cabinets, and under the beds looking for booze. That has to be some invasion of privacy LOL

I prefered that raid over the campus, local and state police raiding and searching my dorm for drugs thanks to my idiot roommate who got caught selling weed, ran from campus police and dropped his ID in the woods on the back of the Cheyney campus hahahaha. Can you imagine how mortified I was as a freshman just 2 weeks on campus not knowing hardly anyone lol.
