THE IUP Football Thread

When is the coaching staff going to take blame for their clear blunder?

I think the official stance is we messed up but the officials should have told us.

I don’t think it will change.

ESU and last year's State Game are history. Can't change the results. I think IUP is about to explode (although some seem to expect them to implode). I think at this stage of the season there is a lot of development going on, a lot of new players. I think the talent will start to jell. Often, losing is a wake-up call and makes teams better. IUP can use last Saturday as motivation. I think the loss will make them more focused, from top to bottom.

Blaming a loss on the officiating or the weather is usually weak sauce.

I agree, but it did make me feel better.

but but but had it not rained...Shepherd would have won the State Game too.


Everyone does it.

Indeed we do...

Although, for myself, I gave IUP all the credit for that win. They dominated the LOS, and Shepherd abandoned the run and was not ready for a rain game with their game plan. Weather was not a factor a few weeks later and Shepherd showed who the better team was pretty emphatically. Funny game this football thing is.

Headquarters! Hilarious stuff...

IUP blew it, end of story. ESU did enough to win. The fun part of this is that ESU has looked by far the best out of the muddled mess that is the PSAC East right now. Could have a rematch of this game in the State game come November.

Worry about yourself, I'll be just fine thanks

You only reinforce the poor opinion I have of East Dennyburg foosball. Pretends to be the moral and wholesome program but really a just a bunch of *******s.

12 men when discovered this not NFL. Also Vest on 10 yard trying to get his guy off field thats 15 unsportsmanlike in addition laying on QB after he gave himself up on 3rd down . All 3 blown calls confirmed by headquarters.

1. I think I've clearly blamed our coaching staff for ****ing up a sure victory over an opponent we have clearly owned for years.

2. I haven't thrown out baseless accusations against anyone from East Dennyburg like you did last year after you lost.

3. You are an embarrassment to East Dennyburg. Do you see Jack Benedict on here making nasty posts about other schools like you do? You are an official representative of the university and you are always on here hating on IUP. But I'm the bad guy right? I'm sorry I say things everyone else is thinking but won't say

Scoreboard operation has been an issue for a long time, not just last Saturday

This should not be happening.

I doubt there is craziness in that podunk, hanging on the side of the stands for dear life press box at IUP. You can’t fit 20 people in it.

Probably somebody was looking at their phone texting whether they were going to the 10pm or midnight kegger......and missed the ref announcing IUP took it's last timeout.

He's just butt hurt and looking elsewhere for the blame. To the best of my knowledge the only thing that is official on the scoreboard is the game clock, and even that can be changed by the officiating crew when necessary. Nation makes it up as he goes, regardless of the rules.

Have you worked a scoreboard? Sometimes they malfunction. Sometimes you have 20 people barking in your ear and miss an announcement. It's not an easy job.

Confirmed by headquarters, that's a good one lol.

This has already been squashed. IUP made a substitution, ref has the hands up to allow the defense time to sub to match personnel. They certainly had 12 on the field, but since the play wasn't run it doesn't matter. IUP has all their goals still in front of them within reach, just got to shake this dumb loss off and bounce back. That takes leadership, and you'll find out soon enough if you have any on your team. Otherwise, you know what will happen.
