Indiana isn’t depressing like Johnstown either.
You quickly forget about Slap Shot and Paul Newman.

It's done very well. The main competition is the War Memorial in Johnstown (which is decades past its prime). The KCAC is far nicer, has better parking, lots of hotel options, etc.
The facility in Johnstown is also pretty sketchy to leave after dark.
I do think the KCAC could hold way more music shows than it does now. The KCAC also has a nice (smallish) theater with stage inside. Most people don't know it's there. It seats several hundred. They put the bigger acts in the arena.

Originally posted by IUPbigINDIANS View PostInteresting little item: Indiana High's Anthony Kowchuck signed with ... California
He's a good athlete (and was stuck on a horrible team). Not sure what position he'll play in the Mon Valley. He's 6'5" and about 200 lbs. He played just about everything at IHS except QB.
I couldn't find any indication IUP recruited him.
Something anecdotal I noticed on the Bird App this recruiting cycle was the lack of overlap in past years with recruiting. I don't know if that's teams prioritizing transfers over high schoolers or what - but I saw VERY few kids holding offers from the entire PSAC West like was the norm in past years. I can't think of one kid who I saw had offers from the big three: Cal, IUP, and Rock. Every once in a while those kids would end up signing with the also-rans of the division, which is how I'd notice them. Of the dozens of kids I saw advertising Edinboro offers, only a handful also had offers from those big three programs, and only one had offers from 2 of the 3 (he chose Slippery Rock over Edinboro and IUP).

That's sad for Monroeville. What is left there? On the other hand, the KCAC has been a great success story. KCAC even weathered the Covid downturn very well, too.

They used to host the best baseball card show around for years and years.
There used to be a large convention center in Monroeville but its been converted to offices.

Interesting. Kid couldn’t decide yesterday or maybe he didn’t get the offers he was hoping to?
Perhaps they weren't planning to miss and then had some coin available all the sudden.
Who knows. Some strange stuff happens in those 24 hours.
