IUP Football 2021

[IUPbigINDIANS]

I am in complete agreement with you. I feel like every team is like that heavyweight knockout artist with a glass jaw.

This week's lineup shouldn't offer much drama.

I'd give Gannon a shot to upset SRU. The Knights can move the ball and I think IUP exposed a lot in the Rock D. SRU either had one hell of an IUP hangover week or else they have actual problems. Something is off with that offense all the sudden.

ESU vs Ship is probably the game of the week. Tough one to pick. A Ship loss would eliminate them from the board.

Cal has actually had its moments with Seton Hill in the past. SH does have a good defense. I just can't see them scoring enough to win.

IUP also better be careful. Edinboro is better than 1-6. You never know which IUP will show up inside Miller Stadium. The crowd will likely not only suck (as usual) but be significantly smaller. I expect the Scots to come in here fired up. They also obviously have a ton of inside knowledge on IUP.

I think it was actually the Kutztown game they were missing half the staff.

I don't know about the Gator. I was expecting a burst out game at some point but he hardly plays. Perhaps a larger role next year if he's still here.

Where is the evidence that iup has more money than anyone in the Psac??? Are you inside the program??

I'm doing the research now to find the answer.

[Brandon]

Not true at all. Not even close. U guys on this board talk about everything but football bands, fans, staff from fifty years ago, games from 40 years ago. Get facts before u make statements about something u have no clue about or stick to band and Lou Tepper talk.

Only on the internet would someone mention that another person knows about stuff from 40 years ago and infer that to mean they know nothing today.

Welcome to the Pee Sack board since August.

Before we make travel plans:

A) Let's win Saturday.

B) Let's win Saturday.

C) Let's win Saturday.


Watch Ghostbusters Friday night. Bark at the moon. Whatever it takes. Just win Saturday.

Shall we stay away from "the shed" ?

Shall we stay away from "the shed" ?

The Shed will be fully operational if they lose Saturday.

It's hard to prove a negative.

I was on Torts first squad if u think 1.9 million is spent on football u are truely delirious. LMAO

It's actually 1.7. That number would include coach salaries, scholarships, operating expenses, etc.

[Brandon]

I understand that but how do you know it is 1.9 mill?

[Brandon]

Because that is what they reported to the feds. $1,829,838 to be exact. I assume its only gone up with annual compensation increases.

I think you have the updated number. The OpEd lists $1,737,000.

[IUPalum]

It might be. Maybe.


As of today:

Bentley (7-0)
California (7-0)
Notre Dame (7-1)
Kutztown (7-1)
Shepherd (7-1)
SRU (7-1)
New Haven (6-1)
IUP (5-2)
Charleston (5-2)
Shippensburg (6-2)
Ohio Dominican (6-2)
Tiffin (6-2)
Stonehill (5-2)


IUP has played 7 games and 4 of them were against teams listed above. It's been crazy.

Also, consider:

* Tiffin and ODU play each other this week -- one of them is getting a third loss

* Rock has to play California and possibly Shepherd. They may win one of those. With 2 losses IUP would (you'd sure think) get the nod due to H2H clobbering.

* ND plays at a red-hot Pembroke (who just took down Charleston)

* Ship, like IUP, may win out, but looked bad in both its losses

* New Haven has to play Bentley


So, by default some losses are going to pile up on the above list. All IUP can do is win its next game. See where the chips fall. But, they aren't dead yet. No nails in the coffin just yet.

IUP will take a SOS dip playing Boro and SH. Can't forget that.
