IUP Football 2021

If IUP had lost, it would have been PANDEMONIUM Homecoming weekend. The State Police would have brought in the horses and the chopper. Kevin Bacon and the ROTC would have instituted martial law on Philly Street.

Well, the horses and choppers were already here. LOL.

Very calm Homecoming by IUP standards. The militarized zone approach helps.

I think Gregory Moore's quote above should be the giant wake up call ... " .... if we let them score again, we lose."

Had GU scored again, they just wouldn't have lost ... the season would have been over. Watching the game I'm not sure they were picking up on that urgency. It sure as hell didn't look like it.

You probably get one lucky escape a year. I think they just used up that card.

That defense was going through the motions most of the afternoon until that last drive. Then all the sudden they looked ferocious. Where was that all day?

What did those who attended the game think of the new in-game DJ that IUP had set up in the band end zone?

I thought it was a nice touch ... needs to be a little louder. It was kind of hard to hear with the all-afternoon concert going on behind the stadium (they seemed to have much louder speakers behind the stadium).

That announced 5,369 gate was probably pretty accurate. If IUP would shut off tailgating during the game they probably could have had easily 7,500 come inside. I'd guess half of that gate was gone by the start of the fourth quarter. Unfortunately they missed a pretty dramatic ending. You know, when the team can actually use a boost from the crowd.

They have an 0-5 team coming off a 75-0 loss. They best win the game within the game (whatever the hell that actually means).


SRU and Cal are up next. Turn this into a JV game by halftime and rest starters.

Game within the game baby! Nice post!

I've heard a lot from some folks at IUP and a friend who is a high school band director up the road. Trying my best to summarize and be fair to him. What seems consistent is that the department is under a lot of stress from unfilled positions suffering from reduced budgets and some covid protocols. The timing sucked but I guess he had enough and resigned.

There was this article about the band in the IG last week.

So...I just saw the band's Saturday performance on YouTube. Holy ****...it's like half the size it used to be. I mean...it's startling.

Any update on why Mr. Crimson Abomination fled town? I mean he literally destroyed the band. That is reason enough for me.

Kudos to IUP for flying the Progress Pride Flag in front the Student Multi-Cultural Center (or what everyone used to call Elkin Hall). It's rather stunning to see it flying in Indiana...it was a long time coming. The school posted it on their Facebook page and the meltdown posts from Trumpanzee alumni was epic...thinking it's the only flag pole on campus...where is the American flag on campus and why can't we have a Straight Flag as if sticking your tongue down your girlfriends throat at the Eat n Park or uptown in some dive bar isn't some form of straight pride on display. Of course...I was all over that post.

I mentioned the band last night ... it's amazing how small it is today.

I know...it's why I looked up a video for this year. It's just disheartening to see something ironically IUP be reduced to average.
