THE IUP Football Thread

[Fightingscot82]

If I was a Slippery Rock fan, this would be great.

Unfortunately, it doesn't look good. The Athletics page goes to a dead link and I found a release that says 2025 individual game tickets are on sale, but that goes to the KCAC tickets page and its just KCAC events, no single game. Nothing about season tickets.

Singles are available. It's an awkward path but they are in there. Go through the KCAC Box Office page.

Season ticket renewals are completed.

I'd guess about 95 percent of singles are bought on game day. Suffice to say plenty of good seats are available.

So, IUP starts practice at the beginning of next week?

Yes, they officially report soon and then camp opens Monday. Most of the team is already on campus (and has been all summer).

The opener is in 29 days. I suspect they'll post the Fall roster here shortly. They usually wait to make sure all the incoming freshmen actually show up.

The fake punt was the initial grudge.

Deep down Dr. Evil knows that without the IUP Rule he doesn’t go on that 97-99 run.

So the play in question was not a called fake punt. Dre Hillard saw an alignment and he called out the fake punt auditable. Whether Dre called it out of habit or just to piss of SRU - can be debated.

Bernie McQuown damn near lost his mind. If you know the man, he would have never approved of the fake punt. All the starters were sitting by this time in the game.

If it was to piss off Slimey Pebble, I approve!

Times have changed.

Tort could have put up 65 (or more) on them a few years ago up there but called off the dogs. This was the Irv Charles team. That was probably still SRU's worst home loss in a very, very long time.

Two years ago up there Lutz could have put 65 on Tort but called it off.

Lutz and Tort seem to get along fine and respect one another. That wasn't the case with Frank and Dr. Evil.

Lutz has a 4-3 record vs Tort and got clobbered by Curt in his first season (so, 4-4 vs IUP).

Remember Frank's record head to head against Dr. Evil was very lopsided. Frank put some beatings on George. SRU got some wins during the McKavish years but IUP won some in that series, too (including in the playoffs). If I recall correctly McKavish finished 2-3 vs IUP.

Don't forget that the one McKavish win was on a hail mary bomb after he scrambled for what felt like minutes before he chucked it.

In the Tort vs Lutz era ... IUP has had the lead twice with 30 seconds to go and lost both of them. Painful.


Overall Tort hasn't lost many games. When he has, however, well, the endings were (insert nice word) memorable.

I'd bet he's lost 7-8 games now in the final minute.

Last year that prevent went 0-3. Let's hope we never see it again.

The prevent prevents you from winning. Keep the hammer down.

I can only imagine Bernie yelling and screaming on the sidelines. What year was the fake punt? I don't even remember Bernie yelling in practice.

I was on the football team from 1999-2003, and I remember the homecoming beatdown that IUP took that year, but the revenge was sweet.

Great memories.

That season IUP went through 3 QBs against Youngstown St and still almost beat them. Youngstown St will never play IUP again because of that. Third string true freshman Brian Eyerman went on to be one of the best QBs in IUP history.

Wonder if we'll have a roster by Opening Night?

Hopefully, they put it up today (and it's correct). All except IUP, WCU, Bloom, and SHU have theirs posted.

If you recall, they've been late in the past (intentionally) while waiting to get some late transfers cleared.

Hopefully that is the case.

[Fightingscot82]

As some point out on here, they don't have a roster until everyone has arrived. IUP just started camp this week. Some also don't like to post it until team photos, which are usually taken a week or so into camp.

[IUPbigINDIANS]

The Gazette ran a fairly terrible 'release' from the 'IUP News Service' in today's online edition.

Good Lord.

Here's to praying Matt is still covering the team this season and this disaster was just a fill-in.
