Fun random Panther Football facts

[JayJ79]

I like playing around with numbers and stats when I'm bored.
So I figured I'd start a thread of misc. UNI football facts and stats that I find interesting.

Feel free to add your own!

here's one to start it off:

Of the 27 seasons since joining the subdivision (I-AA/FCS), UNI has had only 4 seasons where they finished .500 or below. And each of those years were one win away from becoming winning seasons.

[B]Year	Coach    	Win	Loss	Tie	Closest Non-win[/B]
1981	Stan Sheriff	5	6	0	4 pt loss v. Northern Michigan 13-17
1982	Stan Sheriff	4	6	1	tied EIU, 10-10; 3 pt loss @ SE Mo State 17-20
1988	Earle Bruce	5	6	0	1 pt loss v. WIU 27-28  (UNI also played two games vs. BCS opponents that year, a loss at Pitt, and losing by only 3 points at Iowa State)
2002	Mark Farley	5	6	0	2 pt loss @ InSU 19-21

Good info. I guess it also shows the contrast between us and IN St. Look at what a difference 6 years makes.

1983, Cap'n Cat was late for a game and Coach Klinker made him do 700 yards of bear rolls the next Monday. Still, the land record for UNI. Puked three times.

Got a hip pointer from it and Klinker got in the doghouse with Mudra.

Iowa State is 4-0 vs. BYU all time

Re: Fun random Panther Football facts

Iowa State is 4-0 vs. BYU all time

And Iowa is evidently 0-0-1, having played them to a 13-13 tie in the 91 Holiday Bowl.

Bowl games ending in a TIE?!?
that makes the FBS even MORE ridiculous.

That was when all of college football had no overtime, including non-playoff I-AA (what was the procedure? An extra period of sudden death I assume.) If you're going to cast stones, make sure you don't hit yourself in the face.

yeah, but bowl games are supposed to be the POST season. you can't have ties in the postseason.

You are correct, if you are playing in a post season playoff system.
