THE IUP Football Thread

Speaking of being in the stands, even with rain gear I came home completely soaked and stood in the hot shower for what felt like an hour! I was surprised how many people stuck it out. That will go down as one of the more memorable weather impacted games I’ve sat at. North Dakota in 1993 in the national semi-finals will probably never be beat for a rain game though. That was before turf, of course.

I was completely drenched (with rain gear). That was wild. It changed directions every 20 seconds.

I had that "movie moment" flashback when IUP had to punt with 1:30 left. I flashbacked to last year. True freshman got that punt off.

I will say one thing, there is a lot of leader ship on this IUP Team. Guys for Slimy, throwing helmets on the sideline, yelling at each other, yelling at coaches. Have not seen one IUP player do any of that nonsense this year. Such a great win for Tort and the Hawks.

So freakin good to hear this about the IUP players. The past few years players would blow up on the sidelines without anyone keeping the players in check. This is no question great to hear.

DDB doesn't get much love on here. That dude is a baller. He delivers some sticks.

There's a reason his nickname is Smash.

Linebacker play has been solid since what I thought was a sub-par performance in their first game at ESU. There’s no standout like Damon Lloyd was, but all of the regulars are very good players.

On the DL, hopefully Fowler’s injury is something he can recover from quickly. He was playing well today when he went down. I doubt he’ll be able to play next week but we’ll see.

You caught that. Lol

I am giving a dual award to DDB and Connor Kelly as the #handsomely LB of the game. They didn't get the shutout as originally wanted, but they brought the pain.

I think there is a misconception between those on the screen today and us in the bleachers. That was some ferocious weather in the second half. I'll give both QBs credit. I have no idea how they were throwing the ball. Sexton, in particular, was throwing heat ... like 95 mph stuff. The wind was changing by the minute and the rain was no joke.

You could tell on the video by the end of the 4th they were in a heavy rain.

We didn't get much of any heavy rain here in Southeastern PA. it just rained off and on.

The best part of the video feed was hearing everyone else in the box screaming when IUP scored and when they called he PI on IUP...they could make a show just from the audio.

Oh....and **** Slimey Pebble.

Listen here buddy, every time since I was a student at IUP and we would go up to slimy for games they treat you like ****. Throw stuff at you, spit at you, swear at you etc. The fan base is disgusting. I have zero respect for them and for that F**K slimy pebble! #Handsomely

Sorry man, you lost me on this one. I’m not sure what your bias against Sexton is but he made some big league throws today in some not so ideal conditions. Yes, Brown is unbelievable and he made some great catches, but the ball was there to give him a chance to do so and it takes two to tango. He hit a few slants that you aren’t going to see many D2 guys hit. Do you think Slippery Rock would have liked to have him on their sideline today? I sure do.

He’s not perfect so I’m not saying that either. He’s a gunslinger, and as fans we’ll have a love/hate relationship with him at times. That said, I’ll take his arm talent any day. He threw for 236 and three scores in that mess today including several big third down throws. He hit several throws over the corner and in front of the safeties in big spots and those aren’t easy throws. I’m not sure what more you could ask of a kid, especially against a proven quality defense.

You’re lost? Not a shock. Sexton should’ve had two ints in the first quarter today And last week. Got luck on all 4 occasions. They were lucky in both games.
