  • ESPN gave us the business

    According to the DSM Register & the WCF Courier, ESPN squarely was the cause of the 1 PM start. Once again, we have been given the Richard. Hard.

    I feel so dirty....

        What is everyone's problem with the 1:00 game? Is it just that is changes the normal routine? With a 1:00 game, anyone in the state can go to the game without getting a hotel or driving in the middle of the night. We also don't have to compete with the Big 12 or SEC championship on TV. It may interrupt some tailgating plans, but considering the weather, I don't thing there would be much of that anyway.

        I would prefer a night game also, but I don't see the afternoon game as that big of a deal.

          I believe it is part of the overall formula for the Dome, much like posting the Dome winning record, keys on kickoff, and in days gone by opening the doors at key moments. It's an ingredient of the recipe that together, creating a synergistic effect. Start removing things, who knows what happens.

            The team will be there to play no matter what.

              What does this mean? SIU is still an afternoon game, is it not?

              B-ball is playing Indiana that night on one of the ESPN networks, but footbal is just gameplan like everyone else.

                    OT's? Ouch. I'm sure they'll just pull around a few pickup trucks and point them through the end zones. Has the making of some good folklore. And will give the losing team an excuse to flame up message boards for years to come.....

                      I for one could see ESPN wanting to keep UD in it's regular Saturday routine and screw with UNI and their regular home day routine. It fits their east coast bias. They will some how add UMass and UD to the pile of New England teams that are winning this year and all that jazz.

                      Actually, it sounds like a great reason for someone who needs an excuse to pour it on the Hens even more than usual, but I don't think the Panthers are those folks. I think they have enough motivation all on their own.
                      Go Panthers!

                        Actually, I sort of think its a good thing to have the football game at 1:00. Theres a mens basketball game in the McLeod center that night at 7:05 so now fans can make it to both instead of just one, so if you at the football game satruday stick around in Cedar Falls and enjoy some UNI men's basketball!!

                        good luck to both!!
                        Panthers > Hawkeyes

                        G.O. P.A.N.T.H.E.R.S.

                        Panther = Cat
                        Hawkeye= Bird
                        Cats eat Birds

                        I stand behind it 100% that Iowa should NOT be nicknamed the "Hawkeye State"

                          I believe Rick said he was prepared to move the game to early in the afternoon

                            RH said the basketball game would have been moved to noon or Sunday afternoon...

                            They don't have the man power to have both going on at the same time...

                              You think we have it bad, just think about the Eastern Washington folks.

                              Nothing like a 9 a.m. kickoff......
