The Rock 24/25 indicate West opponents with a different order. In 24 Rock opens with Boro and 25 Cal. Tried to see if there was a pattern but it doesn’t look like it.

The Home Office’s web site only has the 2023 schedule. No future schedules.

Former Temple TE Marcus Day (6'4", 240 lbs) has signed with IUP. He will have 3 years' eligibility.


Edit: Day was a star QB and DB at Altoona High. He was then a PWO at Temple (and bulked up and changed to TE). He took a redshirt and then didn't play much this year.

So, hard to say what IUP is getting here. He's big and a very good athlete. That should translate well to D2.

We seem to do well with transfers from Temple.

According to his Twitter, his high school offers were PWO at Temple, PWO at Seton Hill, and Misercordia. What a strange collection of offers.

30 year old Stetson Bennett had his first two offers from Columbia and Middle Tennesseeastan State.

So if this kid hangs around for 10 season....u never know what will happen!

He was a QB then, too, so hard to say. They obviously see upside.

Former WVU LB Ethan Hiester (Upper St. Clair) has signed with IUP. He will have four years' eligibility.

He was a PWO in Morgantown.

They've seen Clarion right?

:-)

Heyyy come on now lol. When is the last time you’ve seen it through? You might find yourself really surprised with what they’ve done around campus the last 10 years. Memorial stadium is next!

Clarion did a phenomenal job on Tippin Gym.

Now, if only they could improve the product that plays there.

I'd say behind the KCAC, it's the second best venue in the West.

The Angelo Dome at Cal is more grand, of course, but I still can't get over 86 fans in a 6,000-seat arena.

IUP could blow it out of the park facilities wise if someone would just put me in charge and hand me 100-200 million dollars.

Besides a whole new stadium, new field and a video board 5 times the size we have now...the Fieldhouse would either be gutted and renovated or just knocked down and rebuilt with something state of the art to house the foosball offices and facilities plus be a backup for the KCAC in a time of need...and then knock down Zink and do the same. With that, a new Cig and the KCAC...we'd have quite a sports complex on the south end of campus.

Now go find somebody with some money...and then I can retire and take this job overseeing this transformative endeavor.

The Field House is going to be tricky with its 'war memorial' status, etc. Let me rephrase: It would be tricky to ever tear it down. That said, yes, it could certainly use a massive update. It was a nice venue even in to the 90s, but, well, that was a long time ago.

Miller, overall, is such a mess I wouldn't even know where to start. As we always say, if renovation was the only option, obviously the entire home side is knocked down, redesigned and rebuilt. The ugly prison fencing needed to go 25 years ago. The concrete wall (highly visible) between Miller and MFH is nearing disrepair and is a major eye-soar.

Personally, I CANNOT STAND the current end zones. I'd call it the current configuration but there is just emptiness. I've mentioned to anybody who will listen putting bleachers behind both end zones. I'm not talking like 30 rows worth. Say a 10-row high set, full width of end zone, on both ends. Currently, the 'fad' by hundreds of people is to stand along the fences between the press box down to the concession stands. The view is terrible and it makes getting through their a headache. Putting those bleachers there closes in the field. It also hides all the track equipment they just let sit down there. My guess would be one of those ends would become the de facto student section. This is a quick-fix item that wouldn't cost a fortune. They can even be removed for Track season.

So we give it a Tippin makeover. Maybe we move the foosball offices out of there and build a foosball building complete with a indoor field behind the new home site and maybe even build then home side into the foosball building so the locker room is on the home side. We can even have a concourse with the concessions/rest rooms on the top of the stands instead of underneath and nobody will be standing along the field to watch...because you would walk down into the stand instead of up. We'd have real suites, coaches booth and a real booth for Jack to broadcast out of...without fear of it falling off the side of the stadium. The visiting coaches would have their own booth on the visiting side because don't want their cooties on the home side and their broadcast crew can stay over there too. No more hearing their announcers and coaches on the IUP feed. The east side would have a large entrance building with ticket offices and maybe a roof party deck for people to hang out up there.

Then the locker room in the field house can be for the away team with a tunnel that leads on to their sidelines.

Then we tear down Zink and put an addition on to the Field House and make it one big facility. Upgrade the pool. Maybe two pools! Expand the Golf Room. Have a state of the art indoor track..so maybe we win those Pee Sack titles so we get the Dixon Trophy by winning the sports nobody cares about.

Somebody call Mr. Youtube and shake him down so I can make this all happen!
