Pee Wee Football

[Blue42]

I thought the pee wee football scrimmage at half time was terrific.

The fans were loving it and the kids looked like they were having a blast. I saw some great plays in that short amount of time too.

I think that would be a great new tradition at UNI to do that at every home game. Let the band play for 10 minutes and then have two teams scrimmage for about 8 minutes.

UNI football is a very family friendly event and this would be a nice complement. Plus it gets lots of young kids in the dome watching the Panthers and growing up to be Panther fans.

I agree! It was like a tennis match, watching the two different ends. Plus it had to feel great to the kids! I know that it sounded like the student section around me was sure cheering.

Oh, and how about that guy clearing the field goal for the $500? The place went nuts, I think even the Panther players were freaking out over that one. That was awesome!

great idea and something those kids will remember forever ! how exciting to be that age and get to play in front of over 16,000 fans and who knows like said might make some new Panther fans and who knows maybe one of those kids will grow up to be another Eric Sanders and will want to come to play were he had such a memory as a child !

Not sure I'd want that at EVERY halftime. I'd think it would interfere with other halftime programs/events that happen, I dunno.

Of course, I didn't really mind the kids playing on the field. It was some other peewee team that sat in the stands next to me for the first half that really bugged me. roughhousing, yelling (not cheering or yelling anything having to do with the game, just yelling), intentionally spilling drinks, throwing crap, making a mess... Little twerps!

What about the Frisbee dogs?!?!

[Barnstormer]

Yes, the dude who nailed the field goal was awesome.

Great halftime, though I must admit I wondered how Indiana State would fare against them in the 2nd half...
