THE IUP Football Thread

[IUPbigINDIANS]

In all seriousness, there won't be any suspensions over the (fake) brawl. It was a big MLB dust-up. Nothing more. A bunch of players jumping around and yapping.
​​​​​​

The video won't show anything more. Embarrassing, of course.

The IUP vs Gannon brawl was an actual fight. This was just a waste of time and effort.

[IUPbigINDIANS]

It was the most fight IUP showed all day.

GO TORT !!! As the brawl almost happened, Jim Smith called the prevent defense. It shockingly didn't work.


I've officially nicknamed Tort ... The King of Clarion.


It could be a new sitcom on campus TV.


It's a new day. And, it's one day closer to Tort retiring (and a new coach not retaining all of Tort's BFF's.

My experience in an IUP road loss with the home fans having a chip on their shoulder and wanting to rub it in our faces…that one time at Millersville in the 2000’s got really ugly..their mascot coming over to taunt and then near the end of the game sone of their fans coming over to mouth off and a big fight almost broke out. So unless you can prove it was just IUP wanting to fight and not Edinboro fans provoking it with their big mouths because then it’s just a false narrative. LIT AF would start crap right from the start. So prove it was one sided. I’m not taking non IUP people’s word for it..because it’s always an agenda and you all are haters.

Watch the end of the broadcast for yourself.

Honestly I can't believe this hasn't been brought up until now. The issues with the IUP coaching stuff are well documented in my mind. You know what you are getting (or not getting) with that group. Where I would draw the line and clean house tomorrow is what happened after the game. IUP trying to fight everyone in the stadium after a bad loss is completely unacceptable. Bunch of fake tough guys that just got pushed around on the field trying to turn it into a street fight is a very clear indication of the lack of discipline and leadership within the program. It's an embarrassment, no other way to say it. And honestly for a fan base that has done nothing but take jabs at Gannon the last few years for similar antics you should be ashamed of what took place but not one comment. interesting to say the least.

So they weren’t mouthing off? It takes two to tango. It’s not like every other school doesn’t get nasty with IUP.

Just sayin…

Makes me wonder if it was the DB and WR from that PI call. But the coaches being jagoffs is on Tort.

Sounds like IUP needs the return of Lou Tepper's "tough and classy" regime.

LOL just posted similar. IUP faithful should watch that part of the broadcast. The one I watched is probably some doofus grad assistant but still a punk. It's always the lowest level and youngest tenured coaches who think they're hot **** for making $12,000 as a part time assistant.

[IUPNation]

Went back and watched the end of the game and you can see an IUP assistant getting into a shouting match with some older Edinboro folks, most likely the 1960s football alumni they honored. If I saw that correctly, Tort and his team deserve whatever is coming to them. IUP for decades has shown the same arrogance that Gannon once tried.

To be fair, that game winning TD doesn't happen without the pass interference that put Edinboro on the 13. It wasn't just blatant, he effing threw the receiver to the ground. Maybe that and the post-game scuffle can be blamed on the coaches, but IUP had this in the game.

The late game first down before looked weird on the broadcast. The line judge closest to the ball looked like he spotted the ball almost a yard further than the one next to the sticks, so I trust his call more. The targeting call on IUP was BS. Looked like a hard shoulder hit.

I trust my own eyes more. It was a yard short of a first down. And, yes, the targeting call was bogus from what I could see. Granted, it was a point of view that was about 2 football fields away. IUP lost a key player in the secondary on that one.

[IUPNation]

I didn't do anything to deserve congratulations, but it's a good win.

I know it sounds like such a homer thing to say and I keep saying it, but Edinboro isn't a bad team. They got jobbed at the end of the Bloomsburg game and took Slippery Rock to the limit. Nulph is a great coach and a strong recruiter. His liability is the glass ceiling for fundraising at Edinboro, although he's been able make a new locker room and turf happen. Regardless, Nulph is 2-2 versus IUP.

So I guess we found our next coach.

Boro had a really interesting schedule to start the year. Hard to tell exactly where they are at. They played ESU and SRU tough but weren't competitive with Kutz and have a bad loss against Bloom. solid wins at RMU and IUP. The balance of their schedule are all winnable games on paper. Not out of the question that they could run the table and things start to look really good for Nulph but i honestly don't see that happening. My guess is they win 2-3 more games and end up at that 4-7 to 5-6 range.

[Fightingscot82]

It's in their heads??? WTF are you taking about?
It's the dumbass coaching of Tort and Jim Smith putting them in a prevent defense and allowing the opponent to go the length of the field with zero adversity! F-in coaches went three consecutive 3 and outs then switch to that garbage??? horrid coaching two weeks in a row.

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.

Ha…I think you’re right. And to think, we thought rock bottom was losing to Seton Hill last year. Looks like we’ve found more room to dig.

Congrats on the win. That had to be a great afternoon for Edinboro on a beautiful day.
