THE IUP Football Thread

That staff is a dumpster fire. Starting at the top.

Many have been saying it for years.

Being honest, very few really good coaches stay in the PSAC a long time. There are a few exceptions, but not many. The last few really good coaches in the league left for higher level jobs

Hmmm, it wasn’t that long ago people were talking about how much better Tort was than Curt Cignetti. That 2014 season was a tough one too. But anyway, this season is a clusterf&$k, and the whole staff practically has been here forever. The last major hire was another old guy that’s been an assistant in the PSAC forever. Maybe there’s just not that fire in the belly anymore.

Not necessarily - football is a what have you done lately kind of game. I’d also think the new AD Todd Garzarelli isn’t one to F’ around. Remember, he was at University of Wisconsin-Whitewater, and I feel like he’ll do what it takes to have a dominant football team. I’m officially on the “find a new head coach” camp.

I guess having people who went to Slimey Pebble in critical positions at IUP wasn’t a good idea.

It’s starting to have that Lou Tepper feel, isn’t it?

With Karst, they'd have won out.

They aren't going to fire him. Unfortunately.

This is rock bottom ... and he drove them straight here.

Program stinks

Maybe the Tort Lovers can talk about just losing by 10 points.

Fire Tort! What a disgrace this team is and it starts with him!

I’m sure we’ll spend plenty of time breaking down the disaster of today’s game, but you have to feel for Karst Hunter. I heard someone say his family drove 19 hours this week to see him play at IUP for the first time. Based on how they treated the injury, I don’t see any way this kid takes another snap this year. I’m guessing there’s less than a 50% chance he takes another snap in an IUP uniform.

Remember that talk about what would happen if Hunter went down? It just became real, and we all saw what it looked like. Yikes!

The backups looked like they'd never played football before. I'm not joking that IUP may not win another game.

Tort is undefeated against Clarion, Mercyhurst and Seton Hill.

I think another poster above was talking about the P.A. announcer.


I'm just analyzing what stage of depression I'm in lol

I'm trying to remember Michael Scott's five steps

I was talking about the Student Crew.

[ShoNuff]

I thought that you were talking about your student crew.

Yes, I am referring to the Student Crew.

Did Hunter tear his ACL?

I don’t want to speculate on the details but they had to carry him off the field and into the tent. When he came out he was wrapped with ice and on crutches. They then put him on the cart and took him to the locker room. He did watch the second half on crutches but having seen this too many times to count, it didn’t look good. He’ll be headed for an MRI and maybe more will be known by the next Hawk Talk.

IUP needs to decide who QB2 is and get him ready.
