THE IUP Football Thread

Because he gets paid 1 year at a time. If his contract runs through June, you pay the man through June. Unless he leaves on his own.

True dat, coaching moves at D2 are totally different than D1. A ton of so called crap involved and time constraints.

Luckily for IUP, the OC 'resigned' rather than drag this out through the unions and legal process.

Muhlenberg needs a week 1 opponent and is willing to travel. There's your OOC home game cupcake, Torts!

Counts the same as playing an FCS team. I think its only worth it when compared to playing no game, especially if its a local team that would bring a better crowd than say Charleston or even some PSAC teams.

Then they would want to play St Francis or any of the other Fake FCS teams in The Yinzerlands.

I knew 20-some years ago when IUP just about beat Youngstown State (in their heyday) that we'd never see another local 1-AA (now FCS) game again.

Same token the local small D1s would rather go out and play the money games (like Duquesne is playing at Florida State, etc.). It is comical Pitt, Duquesne and Robert Morris are in the same city and refuse to play each other in football.

Joe can't even get an exhibition against any of the local D1 schools. Every year when they travel to Kentucky or Syracuse, etc., he makes sure to mention it. John Calipari even took at shot at it after IUP played them a couple years ago. He said they have to come the whole way down here because nobody in Pittsburgh will play them. Remember the IUP ladies beat Pitt a few years back at the Pete. They are likely never getting invited back.

Here's an idea: Edinboro at IUP, Saturday, September 3. Under the lights.

IUP has lights?

Here's an idea: Edinboro at IUP, Saturday, September 3. Under the lights.

Edinboro's busy that day. How about IUP at Edinboro, Saturday, October 15. Under the clouds.

[Matt Burglund]

Edinboro's busy that day.

Not according to the schedule.

Not according to the schedule.

Not according to the PSAC schedule. Edinboro tends to schedule a non-conference game.
