THE IUP Football Thread

Speaking of falling, the Homer City power plant was imploded yesterday. That's a huge part of the skyline driving along 422.

I saw that online. Must have been a spectacle.

It was this morning. It was loud in Indiana.

The first time I ever saw it in 1984, thought was being sent to school near a nuclear plant.

Nuclear would have been cleaner.

The blasts shook houses in Indiana and other nearby communities. There’s still a similar plant standing between Indiana and Elderton, but probably not for long. I personally had no interest in going to watch but I know several people that did. In other Indiana related news, IUPatties has been pretty tame so far this year.

Yeah, IUPatties is dead. Very tame.

The po-po basically has that main area surrounded.


​​​​​​Other than some patches of green people on Philly you wouldn't even know it was happening.

Unrelated to IUPatties, the article mentions eight DUI arrests and sadly that’s about the average per weekend. Anyone else feel this is an epidemic that isn’t being talked about much? It’s astonishing how many DUI’s are reported in the paper each week. These are hardly ever kids or young people. They skew middle-aged and it’s not uncommon at all to see people in their 60’s. So sad and dangerous.

It was always a theory that The plants in Homer City and Shelocta were the reasons why it rained a lot in Indiana because of the steam coming out of the towers.

We always carried a small umbrella in our back packs because out of the blue rain showers were not unusual in Indiana at any time.

It doesn't specify, but in a lot of places DUI from weed is as much as half of those arrests. The current college population doesn't drink as much. Many will pop a gummy or two then head out to party.

Are they people who live outside of Indiana? I mean going out and drinking and driving would be more common in a rural setting than anyone living in an suburban/urvan area where u can easily Uber home.

If they live in Indiana and get a DUI..that’s pretty stupid where you can just walk home

No disagreement here. Their coverage absolutely stinks.

It doesn't take a freaking year to hire an SID. They could have 40 applicants tomorrow.

Something needs to change over there.

The excuses are all used up. The lack of an SID after all this time is a prime symptom of the deterioration. It’s been talked about before but the press box at Miller is and has been an atrocity that one day will result in a serious injury or even a death, but before that there are pig pens that look better and could replace the working conditions there.
You may not know it but there are rust holes in the floor of the box and water can collect inside it.
The problems at Miller merely reflect issues that make the whole mess an embarrassment on multiple levels.

I'm catching IUP for the first time, third game of the weekend at Seton Hill. Your best starter, Jake Black, is getting knocked around pretty good and doesn't have good command. They're down 6-0 in the fourth, don't have a hit yet, and just gave up an SF-6.

IUP's decline this year is a mystery to me.

I would lean toward stupidity. Where the people come from varies but it’s rarely college kids.

Most of them won’t have a car. So that makes sense. What is the Uber situation like in Indiana?

We were cursed on 9/23/24.

Since that day, our foosball, basketball and baseball teams are a combined 21-35.

The Golf Team finished its worst in the conference in years at 4th.

But it was an EXCITING day for Indiana.
