Well, upon further investigation, IUP Football is home on Nov. 12. They will either host Bloomsburg or host the PSAC title game. Perhaps that played in to the decision to go on the road this year.

The snowball effect is UPJ has opened its season at IUP for years and years. Curious to see what they now have lined up.

Joe typically plays (1) road non-conference game. Being these are 'neutral' ... not sure if he'll play one on the road or not.

So I'm assuming this is in place of the early season IUP classic or is this in place of the Thanksgiving weekend Classic which was blown up last year by that dump of a school Salem!

Some MEN'S schedule news:

IUP will play (2) neutral court games -- at Clarion -- on Nov. 12 and Nov. 13.


IUP will play Concord on Nov. 12 and Winston-Salem State on Nov. 13.



Those should both be de facto home games for IUP as the Hawk Nation typically travels pretty well up there (about 70 minutes from Indiana).

That said, it's odd IUP is going on the road for an early-season doubleheader.

Or did Sheetz not want to sponsor it anymore?

That's certainly a possibility.

No. That ended years ago. I don't think anybody gave two cents about the hot dog. It was just the excitement level to hear the announcement.

It's not a hot dog night anymore over 30?

IUP has been very blessed to have Jack and also Bill Otto.

I'm glad Bill still does the P.A. announcing for football. I was sad when he stepped down from basketball. Every time they break 30 points in football I still say to myself "It's a hot dog night in Indiana."

Apologies if this has been posted in some other thread, but Jack Benedict is in the process of publishing a memoir on his 60 years in broadcasting. Write up in the The Daily Courier of Connellsville.

He should still be helping bring a title to IUP. I only care about IUP.

Well said. Jake Biss just became the third Ship player in recent years to sign a contact with a European pro team. The odds of any player from the PSAC making an NBA roster are very slim. All it takes is a look at the percentage of college players who end up in the NBA to realize that.

Many different levels over there, too. The better leagues pay quite well. The lower ones are like Siberia. Sleva is up in a high level league.

Guards have it tough to get those spots.

Armoni is gone. Like it or not. I'm thankful those who stayed are still here. Teams would have been salivating over Porterfield and Sulaiman.

As for 22-23, I'm more worried about guard depth on June 15.
