So so true. The only rankings pre-season wise worth anything at the D2 level is this site. Lindys is usually the first and the worst guess every year…just sayin

Slippery Rock and Shepherd also both made the list, coming in at 15 and 19.

The 2010, 2015, 2016 Shepherd teams would have beat the Bagent led teams IMO. They were better teams across the board, with more balance on offense and stronger D.
I'll admit it is a cop out, but IUP should thank mother nature for that win. They were better prepared to handle bad weather than the Rams were, and Shepherd refused to change their game plan.
I think IUP really got to Bagent in that game and controlled the LOS on both sides of the ball. It was a different story a couple weeks later obviously, but that's why they play the games. Never like weather being a part of the conversation (I know you weren't using it as an excuse). Both teams have equal opportunities to plan for it, and both play in the same conditions on game day.

I think IUP played a very strong game in that PSAC Championship, regardless of weather. No conversation that they were not the better team (that day) in my opinion. If the coaches for Shepherd failed to look at the weather, or only entered that game looking to throw it 40+ times, that's poor game planning on their part. Not attempting to have any balance, or abandoning any plans to quickly in-game, is probably a bad recipe regardless of the weather.

Three weeks later it was the opposite. Shepherd was the hungry team.
IUP getting the ball first but taking the hurricane in the next two quarters will always be an interesting call.

I 100% agree with that. I thought IUP would win the first game, regardless of weather, and I thought Shepherd would win the 2nd game. IUP won the 1st game in the trenches. Shep adjusted for the 2nd game and IUP was really beat up. It's history.
Shepherd was very beat up as well going into that 2nd game. The entire WR corps was down to freshman and newcomers and we were missing our 1st team all PSAC LB as well. Happens that late in the year.

IUP announced a fantastic discount (sarcasm) for a football tailgating season ticket.
For just $225 you can get a regular season pass. Six home games ... that's a cool $37.50/game to park beside Miller Stadium.
They've completely lost their minds. This is freaking D2 in a small town ... for a team with a following that gets older by the day.
That's basically the "we don't want students and we don't want most locals" pricing.
Or, of course, you can park a block away -- for free -- and just carry a cooler to that area (if you wish to tailgate).
Now, keep in mind it is a significant discount compared to years past (it's usually $65/spot for tailgating). That price needs no further comment. LOL.
And, by the way, they have (by far) the most expensive game tickets in the PSAC.
