THE IUP Football Thread

[Ram040506]

Are we just going to ignore the fact that the head umpire yesterday played football at Gannon and was heavily involved in the brawl in 2017! He was one of the main guys that started the fight in 2017 as well. Absolutely mind-boggling.

Hard to ignore when you include it in each comment you make.

why don’t you figure out something to do about it?

Gannon QB is why they won. Not the refs. Their WR's are talented esp Batiste. The little rb is better than Blanks. Idk if Blanks is hurt but the other guy is better as of now anyway.

Gannon defense is tough to run on usually.

But as far as Shepherd and IUP and the sky is falling. Let's not forget Cal was up in the 4th qtr vs Sheph

and KU was up 21-14 at half and Sheph 1st half td's were a KO return and an INT return. KU had chances to win.

I’m not convinced that Cal and KU aren’t better than IUP. No joke. IUP is not…that…good, despite the record. Not good in terms of being a threat in the region, that is.

You could say that about any team in the region.

Yup. I certainly don't see any super team in the PSAC this year, which makes it all the more depressing for those of us whose teams aren't doing well.

The referees are not why IUP lost yesterday. It was poor play, a poor defensive scheme (IUP was out coached), a perpetually selfish and immature player that has inexplicably been allowed to stay on the field, and off the field distractions. That said, no referee should be allowed to work a game when a team he previously played for is involved. That’s a head scratcher for sure.

100% agree.

But the team that held rock to 12 pts , I’d be worried about them. Let’s face it, college kids are inconsistent. With highs and lows, even 11, had a great kickoff return and some good pass breakups. Plus Gannon played their best game this season. Like others have said, there are probably 5 teams that have a decent chance of winning sr1

At least Wawa (Yousers) beat Sheetz (Yinzers)…..

Iggles now 49-29-1 all time vs the Stillers…11-6 in the “Super Bowl” era.

LET’S NOT FORGET THAT CLOWN REF MATT BROWN WHO PLAYED FOOTBALL AT GANNON WAS ON THE 2017 TEAM THAT FOUGHT IUP!!! THE BRAWL!! THIS IS THE BIGGEST CLOWN BULL **** SHOW I HAVE SEEN IN 40 YEARS!!

I must admit, I do not like that this guy was apart of that LIT AF team that found at IUP in 2017. But what is even sadder is that THIS guy is already collegiate referee. Now that is extremely sad.

Super Bowl Wins - The only stat that matters

Steelers - 6
Eagles - 1

Interesting note though that the Eagles won three NFL championships before the Super Bowl era (1948, 1949, and 1960). I did not know that until I looked it up. Imagine if Philly won the World Series and the Super Bowl this year. That would be two different teams from the same state to pull that off. I’m rooting for that! I’d also like to see the Eagles go undefeated so we can quit talking about the 72’ Dolphins!

Don't forget the Eagles' HC coached at IUP.

I heard that kid is getting D1 looks.

His Twitter says he has offers from Clarion, Fairmont and Notre Dame (the D2 one). So …

[ShoNuff]

It was to show Sybil that despite the Homer in Stripes, LIT AF did get called.

LOL....that one just might stick....
