THE IUP Football Thread

If I kick the ass of someone with multiple personalities, do I get credit for kicking several asses or just one?

Sounds like a good old fashion handicap match WWE style. Make it an over the top rope challenge.

So, is Fightingscot82 showing up at the tailgate to fight one person? Two? Three? Four?

I have heard that at almost every high school in western Pa that I have covered HS games at.

In 2008, Clarion ended its warmups (at Miller Stadium) by chanting "F--- IUP!!!" a bunch of times. Lou Tepper took notice. The game got out of hand pretty quickly (38-0 at halftime). He didn't call off the dogs until the fourth quarter. IUP won 66-16.

The pregame warm-up is always interesting.

I've never got to see a live pregame brawl. I guess in the PSAC us having 3-4, 65-year-old, out of shape officials standing between the teams is enough to keep the players calm. Granted, most pregame engagements you see in D1 more resemble an MLB fight ... lots of talking and jumping up and down ... but no actual fighting.

You have about 3 camps in the warm-up department:

1) The team that just goes about its business and isn't concerned with the other end of the field

2) The rah-rah team with the warm-up coach on 13 Red Bulls (i.e. Seton Hill)

3) The funeral team that looks like it wants nothing to do with what is coming (Clarion)


What I've found over the years is, some days, you can learn an awful lot about what is going to transpire by watching warm-ups. Other days, you can learn absolutely nothing about what is going to transpire.

I've noticed -- time and time again - the team that does all the screaming and hollering ... rarely ever wins the game.

Seton Hill screamed and hollered so much at Miller Stadium that I think they were actually tired by the time the game started.

Oddly, I watched the Seton Hill punter in warm-ups just crush punt after punt. Dude looked like an NFL punter in warm-ups. I was thinking to myself that, well, their offense stinks so he probably punts 10 times a game. Then, of course, in the game he was struggling to punt more than 15 yards. On the flip side, I've seen teams struggle to make a single shot inside the KCAC during warm-ups and then can't miss a shot once the game starts.

Yeah. There used to be a chant from the IUP students and the band in the 80’s that was “The ref beats his wife”.

Has anyone ever seen his tailgate? It is probably as real as Mastriano’s chances were in the Philly area..

The Personalities need to stay quiet. Everytime the run thrir mouths their team and politicians LOSE.

There was a sign at Slippery Rock last year that suggested the IUP head coach commits domestic violence. That was way, way over the line.

Yep. It did happen,

That whole experience up there was an embarrassment to the league. At least they all got to leave (very) early.

Yes u are correct, raiding players from bad to mid level teams will be the norm…Guys will now be recruited twice that’s for sure.

Don't be shocked if a few more Vulcans move to Indiana this off-season. Just sayin'

[Matt Burglund]

The accusations on here over the years of the so called boorish behavior in The Cig has been amusing when it's been a total dead zone for years...

1. We've never had a indignant message go across our scoreboard to the opposing coach. East Stroudsburg

2. There has never been a sign saying F*** (whoever was the visitor that day) hanging up for the world to see. Shippensburg

3. Our mascot never went to visitor side taunt (ok that may have happened in the 80's) and then fans go over to look for fights after a upset win. Millersville.

4. Bo Napoleon got mugged at Bloomsburg.

IUP had a lot of high school recruiting targets at the Clarion game. Seeing that beatdown along with a large, loud crowd should have made a strong impression.

Hard to think about recruiting days before the State Game but it never sleeps. Not to mention, the Portal will blow up this Monday as most D2 teams wrap up their seasons this Saturday.

With the transfer rules the way they are today, the days of seeing the fancy D1 transfers are likely over. D2 to D2 will now be the quickest fix in many cases. I suspect many of our schools in the bottom third will have mass casualties next week.

Well, no one at Shippensburg so far as I know kept a grievance file of all the slights opponents have delivered to us over the past 20 years or whatever. The half-dozen or so drunken frat boys who often put up that sign on their apartment balcony at Ship seem to have accomplished their purpose of getting into your head.. IF you want to see some real boorish behavior, try being a Northwestern fan trying to walk by the Ohio State fraternity row to get to Ohio Stadium for a game as I have.

Here's some extra motivation: lose and you'll likely be on a bus for 10 hours (each way) to Boston.
