THE IUP Football Thread

Didn’t work out, u must of slept through last season, SMH.

I wasn't talking about his play on the field. We were given the impression he was going to be here for two year.

That didn't work out.

I wanted him back for this season.

Now breathe. it's ok.

I was thinking the same thing. Then I took a look at the team stats and notice he was 2nd on the team in rushing yards along with a team-leading 8 rushing TDs, he lead the team in all passing stats, and he caught a 16 yard TD pass. So he is quite the athlete. If he comes to Indiana Pa, I hope he cut down on his 9 INTs.

The kid is a stud, they may lose him to a D 1 school…His tape against good competition is legit.

Dominic Carlucci has signed with IUP. He is a Stetson transfer.


6'3", 240 lbs
TE / H-Back


He had a ton of offers. Nice landing for Team CO-OP Store.

Yes Carlucci is a stud and they have huge plans for him.

The last grad transfer had two years too. That didn't work out.

From his film I'd say he's certainly dual-threat. He can move and is a physical runner (not that a physical, running QB makes me warm and fuzzy). But, he's a big dude. Arm looks pretty good (and some stud WRs will make it better).

If they get these guys (QB and RB) ... Starting to look good for 2023.

I like this guy they got today. He's a hard-nosed, big athlete. They've already signed two stud OL. Things are looking good.

BTW, they may need some volunteers for Spring Ball. Tacking dummy types.

6-4 is an odd height to be listed as an athlete. Usually that's the quick, athletic little guy.

Well, they knew that going in with Sexton. He told them before he signed he may only play one more year and then join the workforce.

There's definitely some risk bringing in players from so far away. You may only get one year.

They didn't get this kid yet. I'm sure they are still actively chasing some other QBs.

I really like the RB from West Florida. He's from Ohio so they may have a shot at him. He's not going to come cheap. It makes me wonder if Stewart's recovery time is longer than they are leading on (Tort has already said he's likely to miss the first several games). Tort said Stewart had surgery the first week of January. The end of August will be 8 months. That's a long recovery time so I'd have to guess he had an ACL or MCL -- obviously something serious.

He went Twitter official a couple hours ago (announcing the offer).

He was here this weekend which typically increases our odds of landing him. It was a lively weekend so hopefully he had a good time.

Looks like he'd be a great addition. Hopefully Tort and the Co-Op Slingers can land him.

Yeah...but that West Texastan stadium is sick...I mean if he goes there I couldn't blame him based on their stadium alone. Of course he'd still be stuck in the dreary landscape that is Canyon, Texastan.

IUP has offered QB Karst Hunter, a grad transfer quarterback with two years of eligibility remaining. The 6'4" 220 lb. dual threat QB left Colorado Mesa to enter the portal. He was originally recruited by South Dakota State and listed as "athlete" for position. He stayed there for two season, the first of which he redshirted. His film is impressive. He's a physical specimen with excellent speed for his size. Very athletic. Check him out on Twitter at @karsthunter7.

His other offers so far interestingly included Duquesne locally. He has D2 offers from Midwestern State, Northern State, and West Texas A&M so far. He is from Miller, SD.

My last semester at IUP I had to move back in to the dorms. I was a December grad and had one semester left. It was about impossible to find a half-year lease back then. It was quite the experience to go from being an outdoor pet for three years back in to that world.

That said you got real popular being 21 in the dorms. lol.

Looking back I didn't dislike dorm life. I think you make most of your college friends that first year in the dorms. It's funny what they call 'dorm life' today. The days of a group restroom/shower at the end of each hall are long gone. I remember waiting in line for a computer in the basement computer labs (kids today would be amazed by that notion). Those buildings would be about 100 degrees in September and in to October ... and then the heat would be full blast all winter. I lived in Esch which at that time had the big basketball court outside (with lights). That was cool.

I lived in Esch too. I was on the second floor in the Summer of 1984. I was third floor in Spring 1985 which was a bit of a personal nightmare for me. That second stint was why I had my own room in Oakland Hall for the remaining three years.

[IUPbigINDIANS]

Just imagine what college would have been like if we lived in the dorms for 4 years. And there was mandatory church stuff. And there were virtually no students who looked or thought different than us. To me that's a huge problem - I don't know how someone is expected go out into the working world having spent nearly all of their life to that point surrounded by a homogenous population.
