    The Transfer of Power

    Today I received an email from a long time local Panther fan with the suggestion that we revive the east side--west side chant of "one team---one goal." I passed that along to the folks at UNI. LET'S GET THAT GOING AGAIN ON SATURDAY! Imagine if you will, 17,000 people yelling that exchange.

    This team deserves all we can give them. Your presence is not enough. Your voice, your support, your encouragement, your confidence your will to win CAN and will transfer to this team. Third down volume is not enough. Let's get it going all four four downs. I know I'll do what I can. When the guys leave the field at the end of the game, we know they will have left everything they have on that turf. As fans, leave everything you have in the stands.

    Sorry for the sermon, but damnit this game is huge. People continue to talk about games in recent years when is was as loud as they have ever heard it in the Dome. It's yours for the taking. Go out and


    MAKE A MEMORY !!!!!!!

    You don't break out the Purple and Gold on game days or look for special gifts and gadgets bearing the colors because you want to be seen among the loyal. Purple and Gold aren't colors you see---they're colors you feel. They run through your veins with a continuous roar.

    Thanks for the goosebumps P.R.!!!!!!!!


    Saturday can't come soon enough!
    "...the Northern Iowa men's basketball team reached the ultimate highs before hitting a devastating low. Unexpected success, followed by unimaginable failure. And they owned it -- all of it -- for the world to see. Like men. Like leaders. Like champions -- in a way no tournament bracket could ever define."

            Just listened to the SME online show and they had Coach Kill and he mentioned about the noise at the dome and how it will be something they have to contend with and that its a sellout and that he thinks the Dome is one of the toughest places to play in the country !! Make it loud ever single play SIU runs !!!!!!!

              Do they still have that rule where the refs can penalize the team if the crowd is too loud or did they get rid of that?

                  PR ....Does the cheerleaders/Spirit Squad have signs for this or not???? If not it would be great if they could get made up before the game.

                    I've never heard of such a rule.
                    I could see a possible penalty if there was piped in noise through the PA after the team breaks the huddle, or if the band is playing late in the playclock or something.

                    But I don't know how they could penalize due to crowd noise itself.

                        There was a rule in the NCAA football rulebook that the ref could call a "discressionary timeout" if he or she felt that excessive crowd noise prevented a team from calling their plays. But that rule was removed prior to the 2006 season.

                        However, there is still Rule 9-2-1-b-5:
                        b. Other prohibited acts include:
                        5. Persons subject to the rules*, including bands, shall not create any
                        noise that prohibits a team from hearing its signals
                        * And the "persons subject to the rules" are defined in Rule 1-1-6 as:
                        Persons Subject to the Rules
                        ARTICLE 6. All players, substitutes, replaced players, coaches, trainers,
                        cheerleaders in uniform, band members in uniform, mascots in uniform,
                        commercial mascots, public-address announcers                        , audio and video system
                        operators, and other persons affiliated with the teams or institutions are
                        subject to the rules and shall be governed by the decisions of the officials.
                        Affiliated persons are those authorized within the team area.

                          I was talking with my sock puppet. He's stoked for this Saturday's game.

                            You 'stoked' your 'sock puppet.'
