THE IUP Football Thread

[EyeoftheHawk]

There are tons of 'homeless' players available -- many of which will not find new homes.

There's some chatter going around but nothing concrete yet.

I can’t imagine there are many, if any impact players left at this point. Of course, someone new could enter the portal I suppose but I think that gets less likely with each passing day.

Aren't there other top-flight DE's in the mix?

Such is the Portal life. Kent was 1-11 I believe which is horrendous considering the MAC in itself is a sub par league. So instead of playing against Ashland/ LH/ Millersville to open sesson he will face Pitt/ Tennessee/Penn State. Yikes good luck with that . Lose one gain one according to X . Hunter’s old WR from Mesa heading East. Very interesting indeed.

unfortunate turn of events, ND DE bailed last second to take his Kent offer. Plenty of time to grab someone else but that would have been a nice one to have.

Well they got hot enough yesterday....if they had lost the first game they were going home.

They lost to Ship in the Pee Sack tourny...they were one and done.

I hope more than 16 people show up.....there needs to be 1600 chanting IUP for three hours.

:-)

Hopefully they hype it up enough to get some humans in the stands. I'm sure the average Yinzer in the Indiana area has no idea.

It will be challenging being a holiday weekend.

I do have to wonder how much longer they can retain Steve Kline. With his background (MLB pitcher, minor league manager and now mega D2 program flipper) ... well, I'm sure he's gained the attention of some D1 programs. Hopefully they can lock him up. There are rebuild jobs and then there are total dumpster dives. He did the latter. It's remarkable.

It's all about who is still standing.

That said, Seton Hill was a very strong 6 seed. They've had some funks this year but seem to be hot at the right time.

I don't think there is much home field advantage. These games are usually played in front of about 16 spectators.

I do wonder, though, when the last time a 5 seed hosted the Super Regional. I can't imagine it happens often.

I think this is pretty big. The winner gets to play in the Elite 8 tournament at the USA Baseball Complex in North Carolina.

True. Anything can happen. Injuries. People playing through injuries. I would imagine some of these guys are ready to start jobs for the summer or permanently. Some are ready to go to Summer leagues. Or just go home. Anything can happen. Should be interesting.

Were you the one who had to apply the Heimlich Nsnuever on your beisbol team.

Hosting with a 2 seed.

Only had to beat the 6 seed once to advance and host a Super Regional vs Arch Enemy off the Poconos in IUP.

Choked.

Couldn't happen to a better school.

IUP is playing with House Money….

2-0 is 2-0 on ANY scoreboard...

..and who had baseball being the one hosting a regional final and not foosball or Joeball.

Tort and Joe need to permanently erase 2024 from their memories.

SHU was #6 seed and IUP was #5.

I thought it would be at the higher seed's field. That would be IUP. No?

Was IUP a higher seed? I guess I was thinking The Stewies would be since the took the top spot in the West. I didn’t know the seeding but how awesome if IUP is the host!!

The Stewies did lost in the first round of the Pee Sack tournament while IUP was third….and the two who net for the Pee Sack title crapped the bed on their home fields.

Hopefully a nice contingent from Indiana makes the trip to Greensburg.
