THE IUP Football Thread

[Iupgh]

As of now IUP has 10 games -- four of which are home.

The first three are on the road, with the home opener coming nearly in October.

Mercyhurst was scheduled to play in Indiana the last West weekend of the season.

Should be a exit stipulation in all of these psac scheduled games that if u get ghost like Hurst did u need to pay an exit fee for the home institutions that lost Home games. I am sure there is money lost that was part of an expected revenue. On the positive note if IUP is good and in playoff contention or psac chip contention the week off at that date is outstanding. The teams losing a road game in Erie made out that’s for sure. The team really screwed is Wheeling, good luck finding an opener this late.

Lol true. I know some of the staff at the KCAC. They really 'love' taking it apart and putting it back together. They say it's a real good time.

The new RMU arena has the same thing (just not designed for stuff like Monster Jam). There's a room the size of a typical "wrestling room" just to store the floor pieces.

Plus a fixed floor you can sand down, repaint, refinish, replace the lacquer, etc. You can't do that with an 80 piece jigsaw puzzle.

It is -- and, they take it apart constantly. Like any glorified tongue and groove flooring, the more you take it apart and put it back together the quicker it deteriorates.

I don't think the convertible ones do which is what I assume they have. Basically a set of basketball floor legos going over top of the concrete.

Could be... not sure.

That's crazy, those floors can last forever if you take care of them properly.

Apparently. I guess it is 15 years old already. I don't know if that is 'old' in the basketball floor world or not. I wouldn't think so. I think it has a great design and look. It's traditional -- and not one of these whacky, modern designs that give you a headache looking at it.

They need a new floor???

Soccer plays up on the hill (by the baseball field).

I believe the KCAC is getting a new floor for this upcoming basketball season.

Article about the new IUP campus master plan below from the IG (probably blocked by paywall/ I just go incognito to view). Continues to include "improvements to Miller Stadium." I hope they are good ones. It also mentions a new turf for Soccer. Doesn't Soccer play its games at Miller?

IUP Foosball was its best under Welty.

We even won 6 Pee Sack titles my senior year but I bet we still wouldn’t have won the Dixon Trophy had it been given out then..

I appreciate your rebuttal and perspective. You're probably right. One of my issues with how PASSHE chooses presidents is that no matter what the glaring need is they revert back to hiring an academic. One of the transformative IUP presidents cited here before wasn't an academic, Dr. Welty. He was a Student Affairs VP. That would have been extremely rare in the 1980s because its still rare now.

To be fair to Driscoll I think Passhe set him up to be their hatchet man - they limited his choices to one's that were very hard to carry off. I liked Welty, though things were so much better off then with state funding, and students and quality of administrators. Plus throwing down at Culpeppers with a professor who insulted his wife added a lot of color to the University.
