THE IUP Football Thread

[IUPalum]

It’s the band, cheerleaders, lack of promotion, fans, etc. We can make excuses all we want but this is awful. IUP wins a lot of football games, but it sucks at everything else. I get it…winning games is what matters. The stands are almost empty 10 minutes before kickoff and it’s embarrassing. Somehow Ashland showed up with 25 (actual number) cheerleaders. IUP showed up with zero.

IUP will have more fans at Joe Arena today.

I wouldn’t get mad at the band. Watching D1 games yesterday the stands were half empty. This is a bad weekend for games..

Appears no band

I’ll bet it Cal or Slippery Rock had home games today their bands would be there. Almost guaranteed to be the least exciting atmosphere for a DII playoff game in the country.

Maybe they’ll have the Indiana High School band there. I feel like I remember something like that in the past. That’s the best chance we’d have of hearing Cherokee again, LOL. Could also bring in the Sharon’s School of Dance team in for entertainment. They do a great job at basketball games.

Looking forward to attending my first game today since 2018. Weather should be terrific for a great game against a great Ashland team.

Welcome back!

Ashland curious about iUP’s injuries. Coach Tortorella was not giving a lean one way or another as to whether your injured RB and WR will play Saturday. Anyone out there have a feel for their availability?

If I was betting Brown will play and Stewart will not.

I find it amazing that he can keep the status of these players secret.

Why? Happens all the time. They don't have to show their hand until warm-ups start.

Good luck to IUP today. Would love to see an all-PSAC final.

Go to the Co-Op Store and get some IUP Gear. It gets the team pumped up when they look up into the bleachers.

Your guess is as good as ours. “Questionable” is the official word as of a few days ago.
