THE IUP Football Thread

Hard to pick up and move after being there 20 plus years for a parallel move.

…and then you have to live in Ohio.

[IUPalum]

You probably have a better chance to win the last game of the season at Ashland than at IUP -- all things considered.

They have more money in the program, a way stronger following (donors) and their facilities are Taj Mahal compared to IUP's dump.

Everything is in place there to win and win big. They just better not screw up this hire.

If Tort was 10 years younger ... who knows. But now, ... I just can't see it.

The only angle I suppose you could make would be his kids are older now and perhaps he thinks he's hit the high water mark in Indiana (which, perhaps he has).

But, for all you Tort lovers, keep in mind Joe Lombardi has been linked to about 75 different jobs in the past decade. He's still here.

BUT Joe has that Tahj Mahal and has that greater chance of winning the last game here already!

I heard the Tort rumor this past weekend but didn't give it much thought. I can't see it happening. He's so entrenched here (kids, etc.).

Ashland AD King Has IUP ties. Deal definitely done IUP 3 straight home games to start year.Wonder if Ashland doesn’t hire there top assistant that has been there a while if they would try to Poach Tort. He does have experience in that area, interesting for sure.

Correct. The IUP/Ashland series is signed and sealed for 4 years.

Yeah, not updated. The contact for that listing is the old OC who left the program.

IUP is listed as having open dates week 1 the next 2 seasons. I thought you had a 4 year deal with Ashland? Perhaps just hasn't been updated I guess?

Loosely following some recruiting in the WPIAL.

I know one thing for sure: Clarion has offered every player in the WPIAL.

I’m sure they have plenty of openings to fill.

Back to Edinboro

Sounds like they have plenty of room available.

[IUPalum]

Unless you go to D1, where is there to go?

IUP got through 'Portal Week' with only two departures. Both (Krug and Woody) were deep bench guys.

The first 7 days after the last game is the danger zone for players leaving.
