Hopefully Hart gets the IPF built next year

Got to build one of those little architectural models of the IPF to show recruits, now that we will be recruiting.

That would be good.

some recruits may wonder how they're going to squeeze in there

What is this?!?!? An IPF for ants?!?! The IPF needs to be... 3 times the size of this.

We should also name it the "Phil Bennett IPF"

Like Doherty got crum center bult

I emailed President Turner to ask about the IPF and he actually answered and said that they can't find a place to move the track to in order to build the IPF. Sounds like it may not happen.

Did you ask him what we need a track for when we don't have a track team?

Did you ask him what we need a track for when we don't have a track team?

Or why we can't just throw a bubble on the practice field on mockingbird?

Wouldn't be an issue if June hadn't been afraid of his players crossing the street.....

We have a track team.

[smustatesman]

Is there no place on the east side of Central to put a track ?

[Mustangs_Maroons]

why can't the IPF go where the intramural field is? That field is so large from what I remember that we could have the IPF there and still leave a field for intramurals.

Having an IPF these days is more about having a recruiting centerpiece than an actual indoor practice field.

The trend now is "all in one" football facilities where coaches' offices, weight room, training and rehabilitation facilities, etc are all under one roof... oh, and there's a cool looking indoor football field right through those doors.

I go back to what Ole Miss has a lot because that's what I know well... here's a look at what one of the top facilities of this type in the country looks like (forgive the goofy conversation between the Ole Miss athletic director and radio announcer):
