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.

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.

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.

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.

Good luck
That's not going to be a real enthused team come Monday. This could go off the rails (more than it already has).
Seton Hill gave Cal a real test today. IUP probably favored by a FG next week.

This game is not a 'give credit to the other team, everyone is trying to win' kind of situation. This has to be a watershed moment for IUP football. I think everybody sees that it isn't the players, it is the staff.
We are now back to the 'slow start' syndrome. Then, because IUP has superior player personnel, they fight back. only to be outsmarted by the opposing team's coaching staff in the final seconds of the game. As an outsider, it makes CULATER look like some kind of genius, but maybe he was just saying what we all feared.
The similarity of the game-winning TD passes for SRU and Edinboro is also noteworthy. It might not have been the exact same play that Boro used but, like in the SRU game, the opposition ended up with a guy wide open in the back of the same corner of the endzone. Uncanny, isn't it?

Originally posted by EyeoftheHawk View PostI’m not going to bad mouth anyone one person here. Everyone is trying to win and I’m sure it was the bus ride from hell back to Indiana tonight. Nobody feels good about it. Saying that though, something needs to change because the pattern isn’t a good one and I fear IUP football (and probably men’s basketball) is closer to mediocrity right now than it is to greatness. Credit to Edinboro for sticking with it and finding a way to win.
