Former DC Ed Bunio would find guys from Pennsylvania.

While looking at the Dallas Cowboys coaches, I discovered that Tomsula, from Pennsylvania, was on the 1986 MT football team.

I still remember an article quoting Dino DeIullius (sp?) one of the guys on the 85 ovc championship team, IIRC, that one of several PA guys on the team, said one of the things that caused him to sign with Middle out of HS was the '82 basketball team's victory over UK in the NCAA.
