THE IUP Football Thread

[Ram Tough]

Also, thank you guys for indulging my trash talk boredom.

Still zero Pee Sack titles in any sport since joining the Pee Sack.

:-)

Don't get me wrong. I would love to have conference titles, but I would rather have those regional championships.

[Ram Tough]

That's easy to believe in the other sports but hard to believe in football.

How Shepherd stinks in men's basketball is hard to fathom (with such close proximity to the very talent-rich DMV).

It's been constant mediocrity in men's basketball. There was one year they made a run to the old WVIAC semifinals, and I felt like they had a puncher's chance. I have come to the conclusion that the administration just doesn't care about basketball.

Kutztown seems to have the Rams # unfortunately. Would like to get that monkey off the back for the first conference title, but making the playoffs and advancing has always been the main goal for football.

I get it. Championships are overrated.

I just can't wait to beat you guys again!


Note: Listen, I am bored without football and want to talk trash. Is there a way that we can speed this season up?

IUP hasn't exactly been 'down' like this board would lead one to believe. Tort has won two of the past 5 conference titles, and won the Region in 2017.

No denying last year was a total travesty - on sooooooooo many levels. I suppose we are fortunate our disaster year was 6-5.

Who knows what lies ahead. I have a hunch they won't be a fun bunch to play against.

This.

We definitely gave the team a hard time last year (players and coaches), but it was earned and I think they’d all agree. They weren’t happy either. That said, it was one year and it’s not like big picture the program has regressed in terms of conference and regional play.

[Iupgh]

Here we go 🙄….no transfer on the planet can help this coaching staff get out of their own way. Let’s shut this down before it gets out of hand, again.

I don’t even respond to the CU hater, that program is an embarrassment to the PSAC.

How old were the "old days?" We talking 30+ years ago?

Hype Train is officially in gear!

No hype just facts. As far as solid defenses Tort I believe in 2012 was #1 ranked D in country lost heartbreaker in regional final to WSU.

Hopefully the upgrades up front - and a stronger, deeper group at LB - will give the DBs a nice boost.

At times last year (many times) IUP's pass rush didn't exist -- and the secondary got hung out to dry as a result.

Agreed.

[Ram040506]

Not only is it an IUP thing, it's an IUP Boomer thing. Where were you in the early 90's?

I was probably putting boogers on my bedroom wall at the start, and then discovering that girls weren't my mortal enemy by the end of it.

Previous poster was saying the pass rush should resemble the old days, which is hype train stuff. The nostalgia of the early 90's run you guys had is now 30 years ago, which makes IUP fans sound eerily similar to Nebraska fans or even Miami Hurricanes fans (probably more appropriate).
