THE IUP Football Thread

[Iupgh]

I've seen both play as well, and I disagree wholeheartedly. Eventually, they'll settle it on the field, but going by the common opponents (which is not a great way to do it either) ESU lost to a NE10 team in Pace. West Chester beat NE10 contender Bentley and then Bentley went and beat the hell out of Pace.

I'd say they are fairly even, with West Chester having a slight edge at this point.

I respect your opinion but I will stick with ESU as a better team definitely one trending up. WCU trigger recently benched which can’t be a good sign moving forward. In addition there stud RB is under used. Guess one will be right on Oct 15.

For Thursday of game week ... social media is very quiet this year. It wasn't last year.

True, but juveniles can shoot guns, too. I could shoot a full arsenal by the time I was 8 years old.

It's scary stuff. To this day I don't feel comfortable in a movie theater ever since Aurora. I refuse to go on opening night. It's just sad we've reached this point.

True, probably half of the shootings in Pittsburgh this summer like The Airbnb mass shooting, and the Kennywood shooting were probably done by juveniles .

I thought I read that the people involved with the HBCUs turned out to be juveniles. I suppose it could be a similar or even related group of idiots. time will tell. But these threats do seem to be happening alot around the country for some strange reason. ashame

I'm going off of what Butler PSP sent to my employer copying our chief. I don't know the details of the threat but for some reason the FBI in Pittsburgh believe it is similar to what has been going on at HBCUs.

ESU way better than WC saw both play a whole game and QB at ESU dangerous while WCQB barely starting and fading fast.

Actually these are happening all over the country. there's not a specific target and its unlikely that most of them are white supremacists (but there are certain people at IUP that see white supremacist as causing everything.) It might be the same white supremacists who attacked Jussie Smollett . In fact many so called right wing public figures have been swatted. whoever it is, I hope they catch them and punish them. To much violence in Pittsburgh this summer without the fake stuff. https://www.kktv.com/2022/09/19/fbi-...ools-colorado/

Many IUP players were not listed in box score under participation tab for whatever reason.

Heard PSP and FBI consider it a "swatting" incident copying similar incidents targeting HBCUs and school offices that provide support for non-white or non-hetero students. Believed to be tied to white supremacist/nationalist groups.

THE ROCK was only leading West Chester 14-7 at the half, both Millersville and Seton Hill each scored first in their respective games. THE ROCK played their worst game against Seton Hill.

Time will tell but I would put West Chester above East Stroudsburg in terms of strength of opponent, and Millersville is more competitive than in the past, and didn't Ship get blown out by a bad Bloom. I think each team opponents leave something to be desired.

I happened to have a meeting on campus today and it looked like business as usual. I didn’t hear anything about the “threat” until I was back home. I also didn’t notice an escalated police presence, which I heard was happening.

Recent series history: IUP and SRU have split the past (6) meetings.

IUP wins:

2021 (48-21)
2017 (34.-17)
2016 (48-19)

SRU wins:

2019 (45-42)
2018 (30-27)
2015 (40-39)


When IUP wins this game, it wins big. When IUP loses this game, well, it loses in painful fashion.

In IUP's losses in 2018 and 2019, the Crimson Hawks got stomped in the first half of each game before making huge comebacks. The failed defensive 4th down play in 2018 to win the game is still painful. The kicking debacle of 2015 is perhaps worse.

The 2016 IUP win was the only one in the past 6 I'd call a mismatch. IUP just overpowered them from the start.

The home team in the past (6) meetings is just 3-3, so this hasn't really been a 'home field advantage' type of series. The last two times they've meet on one another's Homecoming, the visiting team prevailed.

Wallace played Saturday. Not sure why he's not listed in the stats. But he was there and he played.

Wow. I couldn't locate him anywhere on the field or in warm-ups. Then I didn't hear his name all day. Further, he wasn't on the participation list for the game.

Well, good news nonetheless. Perhaps not for my eyesight, but regardless.

[Matt Burglund]

Vaughn Wallace didn't play (or dress) yesterday. What's the story there?

Hopefully Vaughn Wallace returns this week. He can be a very disruptive pass rusher.

Sounds like it was determined to not be credible (per IUP official release). Parents are blowing up social media over IUP's perceived poor response.

Yeah....a Facebook post has like 70 angry responses to it. That how I learned of it.
