THE IUP Football Thread

[Matt Burglund]

Matt: Back to football ... are they anticipating any of the incoming freshman to play (some capacity) this season? I assume most will redshirt. There's usually a camp surprise or two, but are any deemed ready to play?

[Ship69]

Enjoy your comments, Matt. Wish we had a dedicated sportswriter covering Shippensburg these days.

Wonder how the dude who got blasted pre-flight and then agitated Mike Tyson onboard is feeling this morning.

Good Lord.

No comment.

He sounds like David Koresh.

TBH, he's not saying anything that I haven't heard said by "Chancellor Dan" or other PASSHE presidents. If anything, he's making it clear that IUP is no longer the big dog and people shouldn't do their jobs under that assumption.

Baseball split at Mercyhurst today.

Two big ones in Indiana tomorrow.

Here are some highly unofficial stats from last night's spring scrimmage. Keep in mind they weren't doing live tackling. A little more than two-hand touch, but not bringing guys to the ground. More like just wrapping them up.

His bow tie must have been too tight.

If Tort had accepted Shepherd's offer to play in Shepherdstown, would you say the same thing?

But he didn't.

The article didn't specify which GMAC schools he contacted.

Ashland is hosting Notre Dame which is actually a good local, interconference matchup.
There are GMAC games with Hillsdale at Lake Erie and Kentucky Wesleyan at Northwood.
That leaves Findlay, Ohio Dominican, Tiffin and Walsh. It's possible those four are playing each other for regular season GMAC games.

They are all welcomed to travel to IUP to end this crisis once and for all.

@MattBurglund - Thanks for the update.

Baseball just took down Mercyhurst, 6-2.

I see Isaiah Houser came up with a big play in the spring game. His HS coach said he's running second-team. Although brother Adam was listed starter at RB, he didn't get much work.
