In 2006, for Lou Tepper's debut with IUP, I covered the game at Cheyney. In the press box before the game, I was talking to someone from Cheyney. Might have been the SID or another administrator, I can't remember. Part of our conversation went something like this:
ME: (sarcastically) I see you guys let the grass grow to slow down IUP.
CHEYNEY: Nope. The lawnmower broke.
ME: Oh, I see. Well, why not just use one of the other mowers?
CHEYNEY: No, you don't get it. The lawnmower broke. It's our only one.
I went outside the pressbox and looked at the campus nearby. Sure enough, every blade of grass I saw was a good 8-10 inches high.

The Indiana County Sports Hall of Fame takes recommendations for inductees. If you contact a board member and make a pitch, they can put those name(s) on the ballot and make a case for them. I've done it before.

Correct on how it works. But that is so half-azzed odd that we have all these board members from good old Indiana and none of them have the brains or sense to actually nominate athletes that were really deserving of it. Sounds like it is basically, oh, Peggy Sue was the girl down the street from me and she was on the swim team so let's nominate her or I always liked Johnny's father so we can nominate him for the Hall. What bunk! They need to have a serious and credible panel who makes these selections and it needs to be based on athletic merit and not because someone on the nominating committee likes you or somebody put the idea in their head. Just stupid and crazy!

There are two HBCUs in Ohio with similar campus conditions, Central State & Wilberforce. Its a shame. I think they like the idea of being out of the public eye but they also could be missing some advocacy awareness. Miami is public but looks so good people think its private. Central State looks like it could be on an abandoned malls blog.
