THE IUP Football Thread

Irvin Charles made the Jets' 53-man roster.

That’s great! From top to bottom he looked the part of one of the best receivers we ever saw in Indiana but he would inexplicably drop wide open passes at times (See Coal Bowl). Maybe it was just rust after being away for football for a while after transferring from Penn State. People may not remember he was a 4 star recruit out of New Jersey. Here’s a good article about his college football journey from the Jets: https://jetswire.usatoday.com/lists/...hings-to-know/

Odd to say but there's actually a buzz in town about tomorrow night. It's a playoff vibe.

I think they easily break 5,500. Granted, IUP can't count and will announce 1,400. This is going to be a big crowd.

Six years ago -- almost to the day -- IUP hit a walk-off, 47-yard FG to beat Ashland. Wild moment in Miller Stadium history. That kick, of course, gets remembered, but prior to it IUP blocked a FG and then Lenny Williams quickly drove IUP in to (somewhat) range for the winning attempt. That heavy-pressure kick would have probably been good from 55 yards.

In last year's win against Ashland, recall a blocked punt was returned to the house for an IUP TD. I fully suspect special teams, one way or another, will again play a huge role tomorrow.

It's in the schedule on the PSAC streaming app and Roku channel.

They will probably post a link to view the Ashland game on the IUP football website main page but it is really already on the website ...... if you go to the IUP Football website and click on Schedule the first game listed is obviously Ashland and in the bottom corner of the Ashland "box" on the schedule are 3 small icons (the first looks like a little computer screen, the second a sound icon, and the third are 3 small vertical lines all followed by the word History ...... if you click on the computer-like icon, the webcast comes up to watch the game, the second icon is for the radio broadcast, the 3rd for game stats, and the History gives a brief history of IUP vs Ashland games.

Thanks. I saw that and that's usually where I go to log on but it wasn't there when I made the post. There seems to be a lot of excitement building for this game and this season. Buckle up. Should be an interesting ride.

The game is going to be webcast, right? I don't see a link yet on IUP's website or on the d2football website. d2football doesn't have the game listed under "Scores."

The tail gate BBQ takes up many spots!

Probably a good guess. University office hours are until 4:30pm so that gives them a little bit to vacate and convert the lot to tailgate town. There are some real deal football jabronies who need to get into that lot to talk ball while downing Miller Lite. Just sayin.

I've been monitoring flight logs at Jimmy's airport ... watching for any flights inbound from Boca.

More likely to have a flight in from Del Boca Vista.

Not positive but I'd guess 5 p.m. at the latest. Classes started yesterday so the Eberly Lot will be messy just with daily campus traffic. The big lot over across Wayne (the old BI-LO area) will be jammed due to the fair. Thursday night is one of the bigger nights over there due to several stage events. I'd 'assume' the KCAC lot will be reserved for football (pay per space) parking. The lot behind Zink was just re-paved a couple weeks back and should be open (paid parking). It's going to be a bit messy. I'd just arrive a bit earlier than a typical game -- especially any fans that have issues walking a bit as you may be parking further away than normal.

Any idea when parking lots open on Thursday? Would it be different because the game is during the week and not on a Saturday?
