THE IUP Football Thread

[Fightingscot82]

We tried to. As I recall, the main legal stumbling block was that they operated in different markets so there was no infringement. Ultimately, it was that IUP was not damaged by the IUPUI name. Of course, IUP didn't agree with that ruling.

That was the same rationale in the ruling when Kansas sued Kutztown for using a very similar KU logo.

Unless I'm missing it, it doesn't mention a name change although I guess if it's 2 schools they would change it.

Going forward, the IUPUI campus will be known as Indiana University Indianapolis. The Purdue portion of the campus will serve as an academic extension of its home base in West Lafayette, though Purdue officials have not yet decided on a new name for its extension in Indianapolis.

Tell you what, IUPUI really rolls off the announcers' tongue.

They surely could have came up with a better name.

The locals refer to it as "Ewwy Pooy"

Funny this came up. I was just on that campus this week. It was odd to see the IUP shirts with the added UI on the end. If I was thinking ahead I could have worn some IUP gear and caught some odd looks.

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.

They had nice clothes. Not cheesy stuff at all.

Are you thinking of The 700 Shop?

They do carry higher-end men's clothing (and it's been there seemingly forever).

Nope. The store I am talking about was caddy corner from the 700 Shop. Yea I did but stuff from there as well. Another good place to shop.

Clarion, Edinboro, IUP, and some D3 schools. Throw in a random FCS or MAC school and you've got a perfect summary of this recruiting season. Nothing makes sense.

Like I said, every player in the WPIAL has a Clarion offer so take that with a grain of salt.

Odd Cal and SRU weren't in on him. They usually chase all the same players.

Zach Boyd (WR / Elizabeth Forward) has committed to Tort and the Co-Op Store Tee-Shirt Slingers.


This is a big get for IUP.

I'm not really seeing that this year. Like I said before, a weird potpourri of classifications for most kids. I'd say the biggest outlier is so many D3 offers. Every kid seems to have offers from Allegheny, Grove City, Waynesburg, and Washington & Jefferson. Some Westminster and Wittenberg.
