  • Quad Cities Area Panther Fans

    Would anyone be interested in starting a monthly UNI fan get together if I started one up?

    Consider checking with the UNI Alumni Association to see if there isn't already a chapter in place in your area. Depending on the commitment of the chapter president, they usually try to meet 4-6 times a year in areas I've lived. Anyway, it would be a good place to start and maybe get some game watches going in the future.

      I'm not alumni, so I've never really been in touch with the AA. I think something unofficial would probably be more fun, but I could be wrong.

        You dont need to be an alum...

        Just thought it might be a good way for you to find other UNI fans without reinventing the wheel. I started attending mine up in the TCs one year in the spring and by that fall we all started really recruiting people for gamewatches and gathered crowds of over 100 people for some games, all due to this connection.

          I agree that an unofficial one would be more fun. I'm not sure the average alumni would understand things like intense hatred of Western Illinois Football...or why you named your first kid Mark and your second kid Farley. Your wife is pregnant again and this time you've narrowed the choices down to either Rima or Verduzco. ...and that you hope, with two girls already, this one will be a boy.

          Anyway...I don't live in the Quad Cities anymore, so that should help make your meetings more pleasant.

            I've attended a couple of functions put on by the AA, and I don't have anything against them. It just seems like they are usually at X place, and the cost is X dollars.

            But if we started up own our, we could rotate the locations, and people could come and just get water if they want. Apparently we don't have any QC posters.

                There we go. Now we're getting somewhere. I drove by a Hawkeye bar the other night. Made me want to throw up. Time to get something going.
