THE IUP Football Thread

[IUPbigINDIANS]

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.

Don't for the 2021 chants of "F*ck IUP" (by the entire student section) at SRU that they let go on and on and never said a word.

Of course, that worked out pretty well for IUP as it seemed to motivate them to blow them out. Nice thing about a blowout is the home side up there was a ghost town mid-3rd quarter. Those 'best fans around' were quick to bail.

If it makes you feel any better, #3 for Shippensburg did that while I was in school as well, and I recall seeing a sheet or sign on a balcony on the apartments next to the stadium years later with the same F*** Shep.

I've been to IUP once, no issue for me. Excited fans afterwards (shep side) and maybe a few things that didn't mean to be said were said, but hardly anything noteworthy. Good luck to both teams and FS82 on Saturday.

It's a little different dynamic inside Miller this year for the visiting fans. By moving the band back in to the bleachers (home side) an entire section (20% of home side) was taken away. So, now there is only (1) general admission section on the home side (along with 3 reserved sections). So, the visiting side is now more like the 50/50 side.

Because of IUP's ridiculous ticket prices (compared to most) many 'home' fans just buy general admission and now sit on the 'visitor' side (or, they don't buy a ticket at all and just walk through one of the 8 open gates around the stadium ... but, that's a different topic). So, the two fan bases get to mingle. In the past, a handful of IUP fans would sit on the visitor side but very few. Now, it's a pretty big contingent.

It's by no means a rowdy crowd over there but the difference is the guests used to get the whole side ... now, they get about half.

I can just picture an 87-year-old grandma (also known as our student section and 87% of our fan base) calling somebody a "Sheep F*cker" ... lol

If anybody ever sees an irate fan inside The Funeral Home ... please take a video. Of course, that crowd will be a little ticked off with this 'late' 3 p.m. start this Saturday.

IUP fans are the meanies and everyone else is nice and classy.

Who didn't see that coming?

I mean, the last time I was at IUP, I was called a "Sheep F---er" and things worse than that while in the stands. For some reason, I don't see the two as comparable.

I don't think it was ever brought up (on here). It's there. Watch the playback. The home team doesn't forget getting the 'goodbye' song sung to it. Just sayin'.

Between 4-5 starters (QB, two DL, LB, etc.) out and 3 freshmen DBs ... last year was a total mismatch. It's a little more even this time around.

I don't remember any taunting discussions from last year either. Not saying it didn't....maybe some misinformation for some extra motivation..

Tort said tonight he thinks Shepherd will bring 2,500 here Saturday.


Little history lesson their last two visits here their fans took over Miller Stadium ... way more engaged, etc.

They even taunted IUP pretty good at the end of last year's game. All is fair in love and war, I suppose.

A few bad eggs in every crowd, first time it’s being brought up in a year so how bad could the taunting have been?

President Trump made a big time announcement tonight at his huge rally in Dayton Ohio for the great JD Vance! https://twitter.com/bennyjohnson/sta...ECGnCM9RhmeuFA
The Great President said “I'm going to be making a very big announcement on Tuesday, November 15th at Mar-A-Lago in Palm Beach, FL." IUP Nation get ready you CLOWN!!! Tomorrow you will see an enormous RED WAVE across our great country🇺🇸!

So Biden will get re-elected very easily.

Fat Nixon is already calling The Meathead (DeSantis or DeSatan) a nninsulting nickname.

Your radical right wing conservatism confirms to me that you are very mentally ill. Moderate conservatives who live in reality are ok…if still not a little misguided. :-)

So their fans aren’t classy like we are led to believe?
