THE IUP Football Thread

[iupgroundhog]

Not technically. Somebody goes to the pine as a junior after starting two years. I'm thinking more who leaves via the portal after being demoted.

I believe that's called competition.

[IUPbigINDIANS]

Somebody would be technically bumped as a starter but it's not like there are only 5 DB's. They rotate players in and out so you need more than the starters. There are also things that work themselves out e.g. injuries, eligibility, etc. Plus, any of these guys could be moved to the offense, even if it's just for a year. I think the secondary has a lot of potential next year.

Like the saying goes, never enough good players at one position.😎

Well, I know they are fine numbers-wise. Question is do they like all these guys moving in to 2023?

If they do add a stud CB and move Taylor to Safety, who is getting bumped?

I agree with you ... I think Taylor (No. 11 for those curious) would be a great Safety.

Lol cuz he’s not on your team. All good, it’s an emotional game.

Not really I have called out IUP guys out in the past, I know a punk when I see one, been around the game a longgggggg time a #30 a PUNK…JUST SAYIN

I really don’t know how we are able to compete being so small and such little funding..

They funnel the majority of funding they do have to football, that's how they compete. They know where the bread is buttered, and they take advantage of a solid recruiting area.

Baseball used to be pretty competitive, women's basketball was pretty good the last few years but the coach left and its a dumpster fire so far this year. Men's basketball has always been about .500 at best, which is inexcusable considering they get decent funding and the proximity to the most talented prep bball talent in the country in the DMV.

Beyond that, hey Shepherd is 3,200 in enrollment, has to be one of the smallest schools in the conference, and doesn't have a large alumni base like all the other schools. This is a football board, and that's pretty much all I care about.

Rough off-season for women's hoops. The coach left for Frostburg State and the star player transferred to Marshall.

What was the deal with the coach? I assume just more money?

One-trick pony, yes, but if you're going to be a one-sport program it better be in football or men's basketball. They accomplish that aspect. I'm not sure many people realize the other sports actually exist.

I just monitored total Pee Sack Titles across all sports since Taylor Swift U joined the league in 2019.

IUP -12
Men’s Basketball -3
Foosball -1
Men’s Golf -4
Women’s Basketball - 1
Women’s Swimming -1
Women’s Tennis - 2

Taylor Swift U - 0

Youse are just Mansfield with a good foosball team. If youse didn’t have foosball, it would be really bleak.

It obvious now why y’all hate IUP.

I just monitored your trash talking after the State Game....couldn't find one.

You Swifties are front running frauds that is for sure.

[Ram Tough]

If you get 2,700 all-purpose yards, I'll put up with a little chirping. When you have 27 yards, then I have a big problem.

[IUPbigINDIANS]

The secondary is fine numbers wise, one more transfer corner in order to move Taylor to Safety is there wish list.

Well, I know they are fine numbers-wise. Question is do they like all these guys moving in to 2023?
