Tonight's Tortball show should be fun. Have to wonder if Jack asks him about the post-game douchebaggery and jagoffery or if this show is really just IUP tough guy porn.
It will be the normal b.s. Nothing more.

The fact that the D was in control of the opponent in both the SRU and Edinboro games and then lost it because of the adjustments made (or not made) points to coaching.
I feel confident in saying that IUP has better players. Maybe even better than SRU this year. Nobody has the time or inclination to delve into this but all you have to do is look at the players' HS performance, what other schools were pursuing them, etc. As for transfers, similarly they get the transfers ( in most cases) that the other schools don't. They bring in All-American transfers. So, no, I disagree that there is some differential in IUP players intelligence and resiliency. That's kind of ridiculous, if you ask me,

It may be just enough to keep them focused this week.
If they beat Seton Hill (a massive 'if' all the sudden) it will set up a pretty big game the following week in the Viet Mon Valley.

On paper, yes, they are (amazingly) still alive. They are in the coffin. But, it isn't nailed shut quite yet.
They are either going to have a 'Come to Jesus' moment or completely go off the rails.

They are in our minds. However, in reality, they are not. Given the up and down performance of the traditional regional powers right now, nobody can say how it all falls out.
I don't think the IUP fanbase should set aside the current anger, but it is now Tort's job to keep them motivated. He could lose the team, which has happened in the past. Got to look forward, not back.

I’m not so sure IUP’s personnel is as superior as some believe. Yes, typically more scholarships than the opponent but not necessarily better. I’m considering the entire player from physical ability to intelligence and resilience. IUP held them to three consecutive three and outs before the final drive when they let Boro march down the field and win it. It’s in their heads now.
