I recall a few angry posts by you and other IUP faithful about the stupidity of the name change AND the name IUP changed to....

[boatcapt]

This is a quasi sports topic in that we are discussing the changing of a school mascot. Bigger "violation" of the unwritten "guidelines"...

It's the eternal discussion, the lesser almost always argues that they are just as good the grouping above them and produces any number of stats and metrics...

You might also say that about Pitt and Penn State degrees and one from a PASSHE school...You get a degree from both but the latter is a pump carafe v...

[boatcapt]

Yep...That's what the line is supposed to do. Get to 50/50 on the handle. The line has almost nothing to do with an assessment of which team is better....

[boatcapt]

Yep...Good example. There is a never ending list of groups that can find "offense" to almost any team name. These groups are generally very...

Examples of how Ben want's his teams to play are not hard to come by and it's pretty clear he's not wasting his players time in practice doing anything...
