    Not a fair comparison. I have friend who worked on the East coast and 9:30-10:00 was start time. One friend about died her first 6 months in Des Moines, especially when she was asked to a breakfast meeting at 6:30.

    Me? I start at 8:00 or before. Now who's the wimps?

            Exactly! how many FCS regular season games are on any of the ESPN networks per season? not many.... I'm calling it now, this game WILL sell out

                I worked in Chicago for 5 years, 5:30am to 5pm on a bond desk not including commute (now in Denver from 8:30 to 5...much better). So I do know how its hard to be on your game early in the morning.

                But my point is.....East coast games extend well beyond 12am often......I bet they would love for their games to end at 10:30pm.

                  Too Young to have Been Around for It--

                  Yes, I am an old timer. May 91 Graduate, when the CPA exam used to be a real test versus its current watered down version. In 86, 87 and maybe 88 ESPN use to televise games live from the dome on Thrusdays. We had three of them in a row. Smith was the QB and man we lit it up. This was before the ESPN U Days. The Mudra 86/87 team was probably the best team we have ever had at least from 86 forward. We lost in the national Semis when peeples fumbled trying to score in overtime jumping into the endzone. mudra was the man--dr victory. iowa state made a hugh mistake in not trying to hire him away. He coached shanahan at Denver at Eastern ill. EI was a mess until Mudra took them to a natl championship.

                    Ha! You're just a youngster. And the 91 CPA exam was a walk in the park compared to back in 79 when it was really tough.

                    Dr. Victory was the man that is for sure. Everything UNI has achieved in football goes back to him.

                      This is turning out to be the best thread ever, "CPA SMACK!!!" I love it.

                        It's good to see an AD putting alot of emphasis in Des Moines. It's a critical area for UNI's continued support of funding.

                        In case no one noticed, the Nicholls State game starts at 6:30PM.

                        Also, does anyone know if UNI could put together a bus like it did for the Drake game in the Dome a couple years ago on a Thursday night from DSM to CF? That seemed to be a nice deal.
                        The Lord reigns, let the earth be glad; let the distant shores rejoice, clouds and thick darkness surround Him; righteousness and justice are the foundation of His throne. Fire goes before Him, and consumes his foes on every side; His lightning lights up the world; the earth sees and trembles; the mountains melt like wax before the Lord of all the earth. The heavens proclaim His righteousness and all peoples will see His glory.

                          That would be a good idea. Let's get some school buses together from different locations to bring fans to the Dome!

Des Moines has lost touch with UNI, it's time for UNI alumni in Des Moines to get back into UNI! Not saying there aren't great UNI fans in DSM but there are thousands of POTENTIAL great UNI fans in DSM!
                            Step one: Get better radio coverage for the DSM area! I hate waiting for the Norte Dame team to loose so that I can hear Gary's voice. Not only that, but the coverage is spotty.

                              Am I the only one that remembers we opened against a D-II last year on a THURSDAY and drew over 15K? This isn't a big deal. For all the b!tching people do about ESPN, you dont pass up this kind of opportunity.
