The magic ride isn't going to last forever. The D1 boards are brutal compared to this stuff. This board is PG.
Congrats to Curt. That's some serious $$
His climb through the ranks of college coaching is pretty amazing and methodical. As we know, Curt came to IUP because he had been an assistant his whole career and he wanted to be a HC. A few years at IUP, then Elon, then tremendous success at JMU, brought him to where he is now. It's a pretty impressive record.

Regardless of the propoganda number they will announce, Miller will be lucky to have 1,000 humans in the bleachers. Maybe half will actually pay for their ticket.
Instead of 6,000 for a meaningful game (State Game), IUP has to put on the same event with the same fixed costs - with 5,000 less tickets sold and next to no parking or concession revenue.
Trust me when I say there are plenty of good seats available today.
Those blown losses aren't just costly to the team.

You get out what you put in. IUP is no longer committed to football like it once was and that lack of commitment is at many levels. This is what you can expect going forward unless there’s a larger commitment made.
Also, while we all complained a lot, the team was very close. There was some bad luck involved. Everybody has injuries but IUP had a lot of injuries and had Stewart not gotten into trouble resulting in his suspension who knows how the season would have gone.

They were awfully darn close. Maddeningly close.

Well, the thing they need to commit to is closing games and not giving up (3) 75 yards drives in 90 seconds each.

No matter what the situation is, YOU DON'T LOSE TO EDINBORO!
BigIndians is right, you don't give up three 75 yards drives with zero resistance to lose games in the last two minutes. That's a coaching problem.
The rest of the region is glad IUP will most likely be out because they know they are a hard out unlike a couple teams that will get in. That's also on the coaching staff!
