Bloomsburg football

[BloomFootballDad]

If you can remember, which QBs played? I couldn’t find a write up about the game on the BU site or anywhere else online. Did any of them stand out or were they all about the same?

They all got some run if I remember correctly although I believe Gingerich may have been dinged up a bit prior and didn’t play as much. Watching him throw in warmups though - he’s got a good arm and has good size too. To be fair they didn’t throw the ball a lot as a group but the best ball of the day was thrown by Smith. It was about a 30 yard TD to the back corner of the end zone on what looked like a straight go route. Really nice ball. To my untrained eye his arm looked livelier than the others but again I’m certainly no coach. The defense won the day overall in my estimation. The first unit looked very good. All the QB’s can run to a degree with Gee looking quick.

DC Martiin shuffled off to Buffalo as Defensive Analyst and Assistant Director of Recruiting.

Bloom brings back former assistant coach Deon Henry as DC. https://bloomsburgathletics.com/news...ordinator.aspx

Two Husky football players are set to be inducted to the Bloomsburg Athletics Hall of Fame as part of the Class of 2026:

Eric Miller '00
Stephen Pettit '89

Picked up IUP 3rd string qb Zayd Etheridge.

Jake Williams transferred to Dickinson. He showed promise as a 2024 true freshman but may have suffered a season ending injury. Played in 4 games for 225 yards. He was not on the 2025 roster.

Bloomsburg is set to start selling a "Husky Lager," brewed by Turkey Hill Brewing Company, at Redman Stadium this year. Those in the area can get a preview taste at a "launch party" at Turkey Hill tomorrow between 4-5:30PM, or on tap throughout the year leading up to the season. I'm a bit surprised by this partnership given the dry campus policy, and think putting the announcement on the BU athletics website one day before the "launch party" is cutting it close, but hopefully it brings in a little bit more revenue to beef up those scholly numbers.

Well if it's a Bloomsburg beer you know it has a bad kick

It was announced on June 5th and was available at the June 6th John Devlin golf outing. https://bloomsburgathletics.com/news...rtnership.aspx

They already have tailgating with alcohol on campus, so this will be like going into a fenced area like old time church and fireman picnics.

I like Turkey Hill Brewing,so I will try one or six.

To avoid confusion, Turkey Hill Brewing has nothing to do with Turkey Hill gas stations commonly seen in Lancaster County. Correct?

Correct. It has an inn and restaurant, started a pub and brewing. They have a fine dining establishment or the pub. Nice place. https://www.innatturkeyhill.com/

Not a bad idea. If the team isn't going well, you can head to the tailgate area for a brew.

Picked up IUP 3rd string qb Zayd Etheridge.

I think Etheriidge has a lot of potential but he found himself in a difficult QB situation at IUP.

New Bloom football fans should watch the 4th quarter of the Bloom versus UC Davis football game from 2000 to see what Bloom football used to be, especially the 4th quarter starting around the 1:53 mark. Bloom trailing 48-29, scored 29 unanswered points to win 58-48 over a heavily favored UC Davis team in the National Semi-finals. Coach should make watching it part of preseason.
