THE IUP Football Thread

Baseball gave up a 3-0 lead and lost, 5-3, to Seton Hill.

They will play again tonight.

IUP had a key opportunity with the game tied, 3-3. The Hawks had the bases loaded with 1 out but then hit into an inning ending double play. The Griffins took full momentum from there.

It's double elimination, right?

Crossing sports. Steve Kline's crew has made quite the turnaround from a 3-17 start. They just beat East Stroudsburg 2-1 in the first round of the PSAC tournament in Millersville.

They’ll need to win the tournament to get into the NCAA playoffs. They aren’t in the regional rankings

A reminder coaches are full of sh!t. Injuries matter. A lot. There usually isn't a 'next man up' at this level. They got much healthier as the year went along.

The question is why were they so injured to start?

The West is 2-0 today in Baseball.

IUP upset East Stroudsburg, 2-1, and Seton Hill survived Ship, 6-5, in 10 innings.

That means that since the 3-17 start they have gone 22-8. What happened?

It'll come back around as a fad down the road. Racquetball is way more fun than pickleball.

Yes way more fun but also way more intense and dependent on a very specific indoor facility. Most public parks and some schools have tennis courts just sitting there that are easily retrofitted for pickleball. I've even seen some basketball courts converted to pickleball.

I used to love putting up the volleyball net in the raquetball court and playing 'walleyball'. That was a really fun game.

I'm with you on the raquetball ... love it. You go for an hour against an equal or better opponent ... great cardio workout (and it's fun).

Hardly anyone plays racquetball. The ones at my gym go unused and they play badminton in them more than racquetball.

During my time at IUP, racquetball was insanely popular. It was actually hard to get a court. You'd have to reserve them in advance, etc.

I don't know if it's still popular or not on campus.

When they built the new HUB fitness center, it had probably 5-6 racquetball courts inside. I don't know if they are still in there or not. I realize I'm still calling it the 'new HUB' but it's more than 20 years old at this point.

Me and a buddy would sign up to play handball in the Field House. We played on the racquetball courts. Handball reservations went to the top of the list because all of the other handball players were professors or administrators.

Beat up your hands but at least we didn't have to wait for a court.

Super popular with boomers who don't have the agility for tennis. You should see it in Florida.
