UNI to Scrimmage Saturday

[Matt Trump]

They threw to 1 new receiver a lot. I don't remember his name but he was #4. He looked pretty good. I think that Surrency is going to be the man next year. He will catch anything thrown to him and will be the playmaker. I wouldn't worry too much about the receiver situation. The main key will be, and always has been, whether or not we can run the football.

I also think we need to find a way to get Breeland more touches.

Breeland definately has the potential to be a game breaker. While I fully expect to be a smash mouth team next year with the running game, UNI needs that trademark deep threat in the mold of Wes Anderson, Kenny Shed, Dedrick Ward, the kid from Ohio (who's name escapes me), and Jake Soliday.

[Pantherpower]

Mike Furrey is the kid you're thinking of from OH. Did real well for the Rams last year! I really think Breeland is the secret weapon this year. People will be keying on the run game and Jason could really do some damage.

[Jonny_Rogers]

we need all those kids to grow up being a panther fan and not a hawkeye.
good job bringing your kid up right lol

the programs is only going to get better.
it should be a fun ride and i can't wait till august

I don't think the Iowa football program worries too much about losing fans to the Panther football program.

[Jonny_Rogers]

For too long there have been too many people in the state of Iowa that worship the hawkeyes just because they were there.

The fact that there are lots of Iowa football fans wouldn't have anything to do with the fact that Iowa has 21 wins in the last 2 years, would it?

66-0

Jonny needs to check who has had the most successful football program in the state for the last 20 years.

you know this message board has made it since there is allready people coming on from iowa city or where ever and talking trash

If Richie has a 3.5 gpa in college while majoring in engineering, and Jimmy has a 3.7 gpa in high school taking Biology B and Pre-Algebra, who's the more successful student?

I would say Richie, particularly if he had ''outscored'' Jimmy 100-13 in 2 head-to-head meetings.

Actually, I came to the board after one of my friends told me about it. I came to see what he was posting, and I happened to encounter somebody claiming that multiple Iowa fans had stated that Iowa's football program was as good as Oklahoma's and Miami's. Being interested in who those fans were, I requested that he tell me who. He never gave me that list.

Since then, of course, I have encountered a lot of other nonsense, including somebody arguing that UNI's football program has been better than Iowa's over the past 20 years.

Don't let my posts flatter you. I like to confront any nonsense, whether it's from the governor of Iowa or the 3-year old who lives down the street.

[Chitown Panther]

I think Jonny is from CF so I'm sure you don't need to educate him on why UNI has had better tradition. However, success can be measured in a variety of ways.

[Matt Trump]

Mr. Rogers

Please go back to Hawkeyenation.com. UNI already has enough Hawkeye fans on campus who would rather sit in the dorm or go to Ia City than see walk over to the dome and go to a free game. You have once again solidified my hatred for everything black and gold.



ps: I really hope that I don't see any of those "you should root for both teams threads" because I don't think Mr. Rogers had that in mind.

Jonny boy won't be seeing a 10 win season in Iowa City this Fall. The timing was right with our squads the two times that we recently faced the Hawkeyes. There were years in the '90s that the Hawks would have had a helluva time with UNI, particularly 1992. Jonny boy probably doesn't want to admit it, but there is NO question that the gap in basketball between UNI and Iowa is no longer a gap. In fact, I see the Panther program consistently producing at a higher level for the forseeable future with Mac at the wheel.

The gap between UNI and Iowa in basketball has shrunk, and is close to being gone. I have great respect for what Coach McDermott has accomplished at UNI.

But there is no comparison between UNI and Iowa in football.

It's a good thing Hawk fans have football to fall back on.

But, if this years team doesn't get 10 wins watch out because when the Hawk fans loose their crutch it will get ugly.
