THE IUP Football Thread

[IUPNation]

I was born and raised in Indiana, Pa. and graduated from Indiana High School a long time ago ..... my family moved from Indiana while I was in a graduate school program (not at IUP) in the mid-1970's ..... Brody's was definitely on the northeast corner of 7th and Philadelphia Streets and closed in January of 1988, so if Nation bought his sweater in that location prior to 1988, then he bought it at Brody's, after 1988 I'm not sure what was in that location ...... Waxler's was between 6th and 7th Streets on Philadelphia Street close to 6th Street and on the opposite side of Philadelphia Street from Brody's (I think there was a bank, maybe First National at the time, on the southwest corner of 6th and Philly and Waxler's may have been the next store up from the bank .... Waxler's closed in 1984) ....... my siblings and I went to high school with some of the Brody kids and Waxler's daughter and we were in both stores many times ...... I don't know anything about the 700 Club.

Then it was Brody’s. I don’t remember it closing as I graduated in May 1988. They had nice merchandise. It wasn’t low brow at all. I was a fashionista in those days so I never wore crap. The 700 Shop had nice clothes as well..both stores had nicer merchandise than the stores at the mall outside of The Bon Ton.

I can't vouch for where Nation bought his sweater in the 80's, however, he could be thinking of Brody's. According to Bizapedia, Waxler's was located at 610 Philadelphia Street and Brody's was at 677-683 Philly Street. So, Brody's would be closer to the 7th and Philadelphia, as he recalls. Are any of these stores, including the 700 Club, still there?

It was the store on the corner of 7th and Philadelphia caddy corner from the 700 Shop. Brody’s sounds more familiar to me.

Can any of local Indiana residents remember the name of the family Dept store that was on the Northeast corner of 7th and Philadelphia. I’m trying to remember the name of it…I actually still own a sweater from there so it’s now vintage.

Brody's

Wayne Cavaldi's 'way too early Top 10' for 2023 states IUP will have a new QB.

I've now heard this rumor from several sources but nothing officially.

Is Sexton staying here or not?

That's certainly a huge question. Either some people know something we don't or the experts believe he has exhausted his eligibility (which he hasn't).

IUP got a commitment from Seneca Valley QB Graham Hancock (6'4", 210 lbs).

Big arm and mobile (for his size).

I was on the football team in 99 when we almost beat Youngstown state. That was an amazing run that year. Ended in Missouri.

I knew after the last time IUP played at Pitt -- and put a major scare in to them -- that they'd never be invited back. And, of course, the following year the IUP ladies beat Pitt in their exhibition.

It's like back in our day when IUP just about beat (a then powerful) Youngstown State in football. That was the end of that relationship.

Joe gets a way better game leaving Western PA.

Their students all come to Indiana to party on Philadelphia Street. A lot of PSU-Altoona kids hang out here, too.

I usually go up to Loretto for one basketball game a year. IUP has tried to play them in an exhibition numerous times and SFU says no every time. Joe can't get a D1 game in Western Pa. They all decline. That's why they play Syracuse, Kentucky, etc., instead.

My Brother in law is an SFU grad. The joke was, "How do you find Loretto?, Drive till you reach the middle of no where and keep going"

If there weren’t signs along 22 announcing it’s existence, nobody would know it’s there.

Come on. Loretto is fabulous in the winter.

Lol
