THE IUP Football Thread

[EyeoftheHawk]

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!

May you never feel 1-5.

Ship is just a weird team this year. They can play competent football for a decent length of time and then all of a sudden look as if they've never seen a football. Obviously, the bad has outweighed the good so far. Probably have to look back a ways to see the last time they started 1-5.

Nice back door cover and got over 17.5

The Buccos don't really exist here. It's a social night if anything. Losing was accepted long ago.

But use it anyway. Now you can be more critical than we’d nirnky be if they were winning despite the issues

Depression? Isn't that just a fancy word for feeling "bummed out"?

Lol

[IUPbigINDIANS]

How do you process the Pirates 43 years of non relevancy? Use that.

As a Philadelphia sports fan who has seen our city take countless gut punches in sports, it’s easy for me to process the disappointment.

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

The guy is in his 60s. He does a good job. Hell, the home team doesn't get him excited. Why not.

I'm in my local sports media. I can tell you that they will have more broadcasting opportunities being neutral announcers than homer announcers. They're getting game tape for a potential career right now.

They only need to win 3 to stay above .500.

We are now part of the Pee Sack Mediocrity.

Last 7 games

3-4 record

Blown out twice

0-4 vs teams with winning records

[IUPNation]

Scary thing is they have five more games. If Karst is out (likely) they may not win another game. These backups (to be polite) leave a lot to be desired.

And i expect that from a neutral broadcasting team, not from a local broadcasting team.
