THE IUP Football Thread

Have you worked a scoreboard? Sometimes they malfunction. Sometimes you have 20 people barking in your ear and miss an announcement. It's not an easy job.

He's just butt hurt and looking elsewhere for the blame. To the best of my knowledge the only thing that is official on the scoreboard is the game clock, and even that can be changed by the officiating crew when necessary. Nation makes it up as he goes, regardless of the rules.

I don't know...if you can't keep the game information correct on the score board...why have one?

We go by the time on the score boards....the play clock...the officials never say there is or isn't time on the clock at the end of the game. All information on the score board should be correct and the refs should have have notified the booth to fix it as well.

But I agree they are not the top offenders of why IUP lost.....

Looks like the KCAC is quite profitable right now.

At no point should the score board operator be at fault. Everyone on the sideline needs to know what is going on. In baseball, the catcher, pitcher, batter, and umpire don't rely on the scoreboard to know the count. You just know what's going on.

It's on everyone but #3.

I'd rank it in this order:

1. Head Coach.
2. Assistant Coaches
3. Score Board Operator
4. Players

Bingo. It starts and ends right there.

I'm also not excusing a single player either. I understand there are a lot of moving parts in a football game. I understand that players' jobs aren't to keep track of timeouts. But somebody on that field had to know they had none left. Guys should know the situation in middle school football. For a team that's supposed to be as good as so many of the IUP posters who were supposedly dialed into the program said they would be all summer, they really look like an unorganized team who lacks awareness and isn't buttoned up.

Your team lost because your coach can't count to 3. Period.

Karst Hunter knelt on the ground for a solid 2-3 seconds waiting for someone to touch him and end the play. It was almost like he was unsure if the play was over or not. 10 other guys stood on the field with hands on their hips nonchalantly watching the clock run. There was never even a thought by any of them until there was about 10 seconds on the clock to get back to the line of scrimmage.

In the old SportsCenter era, IUP would've been the top spot on the "Not Top 10 Plays of the Week." The way they lost that football game was embarrassing. Laughable. You couldn't write a script like that.

I would encourage those going on the offensive at other posters from other schools to take a hard look in the mirror and show some humility. There is a faction of posters on this board that spent months selling a trip to the College Football Playoff for Division 2 IUP. After two weeks they are 1-1 (with the loss not coming to Ashland) with some GLARING issues.

I didn't sell anything so I will battle the haters...especially self righteous hypocrites from the Poconos.

12 men when discovered this not NFL. Also Vest on 10 yard trying to get his guy off field thats 15 unsportsmanlike in addition laying on QB after he gave himself up on 3rd down . All 3 blown calls confirmed by headquarters.

For a guy who I was told was the best transfer QB in college football not at the Division 1 level, I would expect some more awareness and understanding of the game and situation. 10 other guys stood on the field with hands on their hips nonchalantly watching the clock run. There was never even a thought by any of them until there was about 10 seconds on the clock to get back to the line of scrimmage or run off the field.

You don't want to know how the IUP Athletic Training staff acted when one of our trainers tried to assist one of the IUP players when they went down. Unbelievable the lack of class in that program. Normally training staffs work together to help injured athletes, but not last Saturday...

The sour grapes were heavy a year ago.

Good thing we have the receipts to expose the hypocrisy!!

Miller Stadium has a better scoreboard and it doesn’t display rude comments to the visiting team.

Now let’s compare basketball facilities.

HAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!

This didn't age well!!!!

[IUPNation]

It's 3 tenths of a mile from the stadium to the fieldhouse, unless you don't trust Google maps. Considering the state of Miller Stadium, you're the one who should be embarrassed over a facility setup. Who's whining and trolling now?

Sour grapes!!!

[IUPNation]

Just because you don't like the source doesn't mean it didn't happen. Apparently the lack of class started in pre-game warm-ups, and ended with the trashing of the locker room. I'm not surprised at all. Why are you?

More receiptz...now his tiny wanker is finally hard after it took our coaches to **** up to get East Dennyburg it's first win over IUP since the Bubba Administration.

It only took 26 years.

[IUPNation]

Maybe IUP can play on the road without trashing a locker room this week. We shall see.

Just a reminder of last years sore loser sour grapes from East Dennyburg’s #1 Self Righteous Hypocrite…
