THE IUP Football Thread

I hear you ... historically most hyped-up IUP teams don't live up to it.

One game at a time.

There's your cliché for the day.

Yep. See 2013, 2018 and 2021 IUP teams!!

I’ll give Torts credit for trying to get players. He’s not resting on his laurels it seems by what you all are saying.

The last game must have been quite a wake up call.

[IUPbigINDIANS]

Well…I’d rather expect less and be happy when it turns out better. It’s the heavily scarred Philadelphia sports fan in me. See current Phillies team underperforming when we expected another run.

Well, unfortunately for you, the hype machine is going to be off the charts for this particular team.

IUP has a big-time QB in town, and he has three experienced, big, stud WRs (and a slew of young WRs behind them). Having Hilton Ridley, Derek Lockhart and Quinn Zinobile at this level is a QB's dream scenario -- not to mention his big TEs and RBs.

Question becomes the OL. The starting group looks solid but they are very young behind it. Tort is working to address that issue with some pending offers.

I suspect we will soon see a couple more transfer imports appear.

Tort must have had the piggy bank built up ... because they are dropping some serious coin.

I don’t want to get all pumped up…seems like they crash and burn when the expectations are sky high before the season.

Yep, that’s a giant get considering what they already have in the room at WR. They’re certainly giving Hunter the tools he needs to be successful.

IUP just signed WR Quinn Zinobile (as CULater just reported in the other thread).

Twitter official.


Massive addition at the WR spot.

I just did a quick search on google for apartments in Indiana, PA and got a ton of results for much cheaper than $1250 a month. That's robbery.

That's everything -- heat, AC, water, etc.

Well, remember that its $1250 all inclusive of utilities especially the most important - internet.

I remember moving off campus thinking I was going to save so much money. I really didn't. Instead of one payment per semester I had one big one then a bunch of monthly bills that I didn't fully understand at the time. I remember the first time I got a $200 gas bill as a college student. Hoo boy!

[Ram040506]

The room and board is 50 percent of the cost per year. You live in the dorm for eight months over two semesters. It’s 1250 a month. I’d want my own room for that cost. Having a room Nate in a dorm room sucked…

How much does a one bedroom apartment rent for in Indiana?

Reducing tuitionis one thing but they should go to a more market-based room and board system. At least for board, isn't anything better than having an empty "suite" and getting zero revenue?

Don’t care about stadium talk and building talk, I have heard another transfer big fish has landed at Miller Stadium…can’t wait for September Football….just sayin

Me, too. Just waiting for the names and the commitments.

IUP hasn’t had a good President since Welty left…

I'm pretty sure after Welty that's when IUP lost control of the President hiring process and it started going through Harrisburg.

[iupgroundhog]

10K for room and board is the biggest problem. That’s was three years of tuition in the 80’s.

That's the rumor.

If true, this is an exciting one.
