Just an FYI for all you gambling degenerates ...

Week 1 for Pick 'Em will post tomorrow.

[IUPbigINDIANS]

Well, I do think you have to look back in time to put it in context.

President Atwater was growing pretty frustrated with the football and...

The three in the mix to play this year appear to be:

Mason Maggs (6'2", 225 lbs)
Jeff Hoenstine (5'9", 197 lbs)
Ryan...

No. That season IUP lost its first two QBs in the close loss at Youngstown State.

Lenny started as a redshirt freshman. I can't recall...

[IUPbigINDIANS]

If they can hold leads in the final 5 minutes and finally end this SRU losing streak ... I could care less if they are all 135 lbs.

But as...

Everything changes when you get moved to the big chair.

You're now not only coaching but playing the role of team shrink to 90-some players...

[IUPbigINDIANS]

Our top programs would absolutely murder them.

Our worst teams would likely still beat them up.


Now, top level D3 teams...

[IUPbigINDIANS]

It's a strange vibe in the Yinzer half of the state. PSU obviously runs the show in the eyes of most. Pitt and Duquesne folks act like PASSHE schools...

[IUPbigINDIANS]

The DL (overall) will be smaller than usual (but probably also faster than usual).

The OL has some big dudes (and should be one of the strengths...

[IUPbigINDIANS]

Well, Jack called it a QB competition on the radio this morning so it's either legit or it's the old coaching adage to push the players a bit more....

[IUPbigINDIANS]

Plenty of room to build on Schrute Farms....

[IUPbigINDIANS]

Well, we're used to 'wild' seasons.

So, bring it on.

We've been through some crazy endings the past few years -- good and bad....

[IUPbigINDIANS]

Don't look now, boys and girls, but -- call it a hunch -- we just may have a QB battle on our hands.

I wouldn't say this is a good thing,...

[IUPbigINDIANS]

Football-wise, I can see Fairmont State not being interested. Joining a division with IUP, Cal and SRU isn't that appealing. They at least have a decent...

[IUPbigINDIANS]

My understanding was this whole thing is kind of 'in theory' at this point (officially)....

West Preseason Poll


1. IUP
2. Slippery Rock
3. California

5. Clarion
6. Seton Hill

Well, I personally feel much more confident when IUP plays on the road. Sounds odd, but Tort's teams are way more focused away from Miller.
...

[IUPbigINDIANS]

I'd love to see IUP send a bus (or two) to each of the first two games.

Would there be interest? Not sure. One way to find out.

I cannot quite wrap my head around how much Miller Stadium has gone down hill. Granted, it was becoming pretty bad in the 90s. Now, it's just an eye soar....

[IUPbigINDIANS]

They can be pretty comical - especially early in the season....
