I have setup the Supporting Member option. If you are interested in making a donation and becoming a Supporting Member you can pay with credit card here.
The donation goes toward paying for server hosting costs and toward the annual donation to the UNI Athletic fund. Regular Supporting Membership is $50 annually and $25 for students.
I’ve set it up so that Supporting Members will get a graphic under their username on posts recognizing them as a Supporting Member. Also Supporting Members will be allowed to upload their own avatars. Finally Supporting Members will get access to the new Panther Den forum. This is exclusively for Supporting Members and isn’t visible to the public.
None of the existing forums will change and if you decide not to donation nothing will change for you. There is no penalty for not donating.
If you have any questions please... [Read More]

On the Prowl: The Anatomy of a Winning Program
As UNI prepares for another semifinal game, the anticipation builds. That all-too-familiar sense of excitement is rising, and now everyone calling themselves a Panther fan from the most loyal to the most recently curious are trying to find a way to get to the Dome if at all possible.
It's safe to say that this program is built for longterm success. Here in 2008 very few expected UNI to be in the semifinals, with a home game no less. The Cats finished 10-2 in the regular season, something that few would honestly say that they expected. It's true though: this team may be just as solid as the team that took the field in 2007.
Enough talking about stuff that people already know, though. Here's the real question: how does a school like the University of Northern Iowa in Cedar Falls, Iowa become an undisputed FCS elite? This question should be posed in the wake of UNI defeating another... [Read More]

On the Prowl: Why?
Why? Dear God, why? What kind of system allows Oklahoma, who lost to Texas, to be declared the Big XII South Champion? What happens if Florida beats Alabama?
You know what? I'm not even going to bother anymore. The most important fact is this: neither should any of you. I'm not referring just to Panther fans, I'm referring to Hawkeye fans, Cyclone Fans, Gator Fans, Longhorn Fans, anyone who is a fan of college football. Nobody should even waste their time and energy screaming injustice about a system that has one overriding factor. Forget the computers, forget the human polls, forget the idea that it's all about the money. None of it makes any sense whatsoever. You would do yourself well to quit asking questions.
If it were about the human polling, there's no way anyone could legitimately put Oklahoma ahead of Texas after Texas beat Oklahoma 45-35 earlier in the season. If it were about the computer... [Read More]
