I don't have ESPNU...what did the Nichols St. injury look like? Was it a head injury? Not being gruesome, just wondering since they had to cart him off.

Was listening on the radio, the NS player has a broken leg, and may have surgery locally.

Re: UNI v Nichols State Gamethread

that's no good...you never like to see any injuries, especially ones like that!

For those in attendance, or those able to watch on ESPNU, how was the crowd tonight?

Not very impressive. The ends are pretty much empty.

Re: UNI v Nichols State Gamethread

It's sad, but I thought that was going to be the story due to it being a weeknight. Does anyone think it would have been much better if we were 3-1 coming in instead of 2-2?

Re: UNI v Nichols State Gamethread

I think Gary said at the beginning of the game that there were only 8-9000 in attendance.

Any updates on Corey?

Re: UNI v Nichols State Gamethread

Corey came back to the sideline in street clothes and had a boot on his foot. He was walking fine on and and seemed to be in good spirits so lets hope for the best.

maybe a little bit. But I doubt it would have made TOO much of a difference.
It's just tough to get casual fans in on a weeknight, especially with it being on TV

Re: UNI v Nichols State Gamethread

Its just too tough for the out of town fans to make it on a thursday night. I think the attendance would have been great again if it was on saturday.

Re: UNI v Nichols State Gamethread

I do not understand how NS did not get flagged for a late hit on the play where Lewis was hurt. That player dived in after Lewis was clearly on the ground (and was not previously engaged in the play).

The broadcast itself was pretty good in ESPN faux HD. They had the first line and instant replay with multiple angles. Made the game more enjoyable. The announcers were pretty good - the play by play guy had some knowledge of FCS. The color guy didn't really know FCS, evidenced by the statement about no conference will get more than 3 teams in the playoffs.

Farley didn't look like he was the winning coach leaving the field. He looked pissed. I swear he needs a mouth guard for the games so his teeth won't grind away.
