    On another thread, someone claims UNI is playing at Drake in 2006. It looks like that would complete the schedule at 11 games.

    However, won't they look for a I-A payday instead?

      When we get word on what the actual schedule is for 2006, we will post it. Drake will be the first game of the year (and I wouldn't be surprised if it isn't a Thursday night game). I would expect the D2 game to stay on the schedule (just moved to another date), as well as the SDSU game. The NW State game will probably be bumped to the next year, and a game at either Iowa, ISU, Minnesota, or Missouri will be the payday.

      By the way, the UNI at Iowa game will be televised on both ESPN Regional and ESPNU.

        Everyone see where they changed the time of the Minnesota-Duluth game this year? It was switched from 4:05 to 7:05 on the official website. I guess they did this so that Iowa/Iowa State fans could make it back to watch the UNI game. I like this move personally.

          The unipanthers.com football schedule now shows UNI playing Western Kentucky at 4:07PM on Gateway TV. Good to see that game will be on tv back in Iowa!

            I though comparing our in-state bretheren's schedules to ours would be good to see how our home games compare to UI/ISU. Similar home game schedules and UNI's winning percentage usually are two good gauges to tell how good the football attendance will be.

            9/1---UNI vs. Drake (the only game in-state on Thursday night)---could be a very good crowd

            9/10--UNI vs. Minnesota-Duluth (7:05 start, but ISU/UI play at 1:30 that day)---hopefully we can get some of the crowd that leaves the game in Ames

            9/17--UNI at Iowa (probable sellout and $350K paycheck for the Panthers)...ISU doesn't play

            10/15-UNI vs. Indiana State at 4:05PM (Homecoming)---typically a big crowd regardless, but Iowa is at home vs. Indiana (probably a 11AM game) and ISU is in Missouri. With Iowa's game being against a patsy, most fans will probably be more interested in staying in CF and going to Homecoming (as will students from Iowa/ISU). I look for a HUGE crowd for this game.

            10/29-UNI vs. Youngstown St. at 4:05PM (Family Weekend)--again, typically a big crowd for Family Day, Iowa is in a bye week, and ISU is at Texas A&M. With UNI being the only show in Iowa, this crowd should another big one.

            11/12-UNI vs. Southern Illinois at 5:05PM---Iowa is at Wisconsin, and ISU hosts Colorado. Both games will probably be early afternoon games, so they shouldn't conflict with the UNI game. In addition, the conference championship (or a share of it) will probably help aide a large crowd. Both teams should probably be ranked in the top 15 which will make this a hot ticket. With the showdowns these two teams have had over the past few years, I expect the media to get behind this one and a large crowd (14,000+) will be on hand. If the game ends up being on a CSTV/ESPNU, I look for the students to show up in record number (students love national tv...but hey, don't we all)

            11/19-UNI vs. Northern Arizona at 5:05PM---Iowa hosts Minnesota in their season finale and Iowa State has a bye week. If the Panthers are in the hunt for a top seed in the playoffs and have a top 5 national ranking, I look for the Dome to be rockin' for this one. With ISU having a bye week, this probably being a promotional game (like the past few years have brought with the season finale), and it being Senior Night, I would expect there to be a very good crowd on hand.

            Overall, I really like how this schedule has played out. Attendance should be up quite a bit this year. The location of Homecoming and Family Day were on games against recently lower division teams in the Gateway. But with those days being "events", the crowds will come. I'm really excited about these games and the crowds!

                  It's not on tv. I said "if the game ends up being on a CSTV/ESPNU, I look for the students to show up in record number". It's not slated to be on tv, but I would imagine some network would pick it up. But nothing has come out as of now.

                    Good work, PTTB. When you look at when our games our vs. our sister institutions, things shape up nicely for the Panthers to have a high season attendance. There is nothing like that UNI-Dome when there are 16,500+ rockin' the joint!!!!!

                      Well, the Gateway has released it's conference television schedule. UNI gets 2 GFC Game of the Weeks. It goes as follows:

                      Sept. 8 -- Northern Colorado at W. Illinois (7:00 p.m.)---CSTV
                      Sept. 17 -- UNI at Iowa (2:30 p.m.)---ESPNU/ESPN+
                      Sept. 24 -- Missouri State at Sam Houston (6:00 p.m.)---FSN Midwest???/Southwest??? (not sure what channel)
                      Oct. 15 -- *Illinois State at S. Illinois (6:00 p.m.)---FSN Midwest
                      Oct. 22 -- *S. Illinois at Indiana State (HC) (2:00 p.m.)---FSN Midwest
                      Oct. 29 -- *Youngstown State at UNI (4:00 p.m., tent.)---FSN Midwest
                      Nov. 5 -- *UNI at Western Kentucky (4:00 p.m.)---FSN Midwest
                      Nov. 12 -- *Missouri State at W. Illinois (1:00 p.m.)---FSN Midwest
                      * Denotes Gateway game; Times Central

                      A couple thoughts:
                      1.) It's good to see the Panthers get on regional/national television 3 times this year (2 of the games not in Cedar Falls).

                      2.) It looks as though they might be changing the kickoff time for the Youngstown State game, as it is "tentative" at 4PM.

                      3.) FSN Midwest decided not to air the SIU/SEMO game on Thursday night this year (kind of surprised, they have aired this game before)

                      4.) The weekly coverage didn't improve from last year, and it doesn't look like our voting efforts helped out either. CSTV only picks up one game from the Gateway, and it's WIU vs. Northern Colorado (not exactly eye candy on the tv screen).

                      5.) I have heard that Fox28 will be picking up the Drake game at the beginning of the year...as well, Mediacom will be televising Missouri State games on their sports channel (in Missouri). In Missouri, there games are supposedly tape delayed, but I'm hoping that Mediacom in Iowa will pick up the live feed (which they have said they probably would).

                      6.) That leaves only 2 away games not on television (at Western and at Illinois State). For the WIU game there will be bus trips planned from Cedar Falls and Des Moines, so get signed up for those early...my guess is they will fill up FAST! For those who go to the WIU game, that leaves only one away game not to be seen all year...AT Illinois State. Do I hear road trip anyone???

                        So...we should get ready to have a UNI Game Watch on November 5th? Is that what you're saying PTTB???

                              I like that UNI has gotten on the schedule for the next three years, but it would be nice to find a different opponent for 2009. Maybe Iowa again in 2009 or Minnesota, Kansas or another regional 1-A opponent.

                              Playing in Ames does give a very large UNI alumni base in Des Moines (close to 10,000) a chance to get out and support UNI close to their homes the next three years. Also, knowing we're going to be in Ames for three straight years, I think it gives fans a chance to plan ahead to be there and invite friends who maybe haven't been to a UNI football game in the recent past.

                              It gives UNI the chance to expand their fanbase in the Des Moines area.
