THE IUP Football Thread

That was one ugly first half offensively.

IUP was extremely lucky it was just 13-0 at halftime.

They had some awful misfortune (the roughing the punter, etc). The WRs dropped at least 5 balls in the first half. Karst would have thrown in to quadruple coverage if it existed. SH got some crazy calls in the first half. Combine it all with the expected (normal) IUP slow start ... it was a perfect storm.

I'll give Karst a lot of credit. He was completely lost in the first half. He did a total turnaround at halftime. The crowd was yelling for Nico. People were screaming up at Larry Wilson. Once Karst realizes he doesn't have to throw every ball to Massey good things suddenly start happening. SH had two dudes on Massey all day. Karst still kept throwing to him. Nobody could cover Ridley one on one. And, don't get me started on the way they ignore having two stud TEs. I was the happiest guy in there to see Laney get that TD to start the scoring.

Younger (you know the forgotten RB they moved to defense) ... he was a warrior today. In many ways he saved their season for another week.

Aside really from one play (long run) I thought the defense played fantastic. The offense did everything it could to screw them in the first half and they hung in there.

It was a gutsy comeback. That place was dead at halftime.

For being a Catholic school SH may be the dirtiest talking team I've ever seen in person. Lol. Goodness. Earplugs. They talked a little too much and it backfired. They finally woke up the bear.

Catholic school kids are among the worst..as I was bullied mercilessly in Catholic school. It’s why I loathe all organized religion. It’s all hypocrisy. Both my grade school and high school are kaput. I don’t really miss either of them. IUP closing or getting merged with some glorified high school would be far more hurtful..,

IUP now plays competitive games with Seton Hill. That’s where the program is at now. Not only that, but Clarion just beat Edinboro. That loss last week is completely inexcusable. I think we’re going to find out that Slippery Rock isn’t that great also. They really should have two losses right now. Cal’s loss to Charleston early in the year suddenly doesn’t look so bad. They have to be licking their chops heading into this weekend when they can basically wrap up a trip to the State Game while ending IUP’s season in the process.

VERY fortunate win by IUP.

Tort is a jackass!!! Half time interview... "Our receivers need to get open." What? Did he not remember that Massey had 3 big drops? Deabner had a drop?

Our coaches need to to have their heads extracted from their rear ends.

The Dementia DonOLD curse marches on…so glad you all had a fun day that day.

Late October and 70-some and sunny. Much different that past couple years.

Isn't global warming great?

This (to me) is clear as day.

(1) They beat the heck out of SH

(2) They feel sorry for themselves, mope and lose.


It's going to be one or the other. I don't see another close game.

I think there's just enough of a carrot still dangling that IUP is actually focused today.

If they do #2 (no pun intended), then it's next year.

[IUPbigINDIANS]

I don't think they will be able to handle Massey and/or Ridley, gimmicks or no gimmicks.

This is an X's and O's type game against this gimmick defense.

... not a strength of this staff

It's been low on here compared to most years but the crowds were actually very good both home games.

Today will return to the crypt. That's what happens when you pi$$ two games away.

I don't know what to expect from Team Tort today. A juiced up, violent team wouldn't shock me. A typical Tort hangover team wouldn't, either.

Yep, I won’t be there and I can walk to the place. I have better things to do on a nice Saturday than watching this matchup of mediocre teams.

So in your mind...it's okay to taunt and insult if your are the home team and the visiting team who lost should just bend over and take it?

Were you there? Did you hear what was said? If not, Why are you automatically assuming only the IUP person is at fault?

What happened to winning with some class and maybe Edinboro doesn't know how to do that since they really don't win that often in the last decade or so...........

When Clarion got crushed at The Cig...did your team have to run a gauntlet of insults and taunting? Asking for a friend.

you know what, you're exactly right. I guess I never thought about it from that perspective before Nation, thank you for enlightening me. Lets hope that those fans and players at Boro learned a valuable lesson from the IUP coaches and players. And lets hope the word is out now as well so the Griffins don't come to town today with similar intentions. It would suck to have threaten to beat up a bunch of old fans in back to back weeks after handing a game away but hey, you gotta do what you gotta do right.
