Maine compares UNI to Iowa

[Pantherpower]

I copied this quote from the Maine student newspaper. High praise of UNI's D from the Maine QB and Center:

"I think we knew they were going to be a great team especially up front," Brusko said. The defensive line is probably the best we've faced all year and I would say that includes Iowa."

"Man for man, they probably got us," added senior center Ryan Canary. "They didn't do anything scheme-wise. But man for man they were physically probably better and that really showed."

Similar quote in today's CR Gazette. The gazette by the way had like 3 articles with full color photos on the 1st round win in the paper today.



Cosgrove's quarterback left the state by saying something that will likely agitate Hawkeye fans, and would certainly at least amuse Iowa defensive tackle Mitch King.

"(UNI's) defensive line is probably the best we've faced all year, I would say," Michael Brusko commented. "And that obviously includes Iowa."

Not surprised by the complimentary article from Jim Ecker....but I think Mike Hlas is a d-bag.

Re: Maine compares UNI to Iowa

These players are some of the few people who could legitimately make such a comparison. Great compliment.

It is a great compliment, albeit the player quoted didn't play against Iowa.

With that said, I must butress every comment I make with the fact that UNI would beat the Tennessee Titans and are the greatest team in the history of the universe. I cannot make a comment without stating that fact or else Jegbomb and Clenz and the rest of the PN.com mafia will come at me for being unspportive.

Re: Maine compares UNI to Iowa

Don't the Maine players know that even though they have played both teams that UNI can't possibly be even close to on the same page as Iowa.

By the way Panther Track, I think you are a HUGE douchebag!

Re: Maine compares UNI to Iowa

I wondered how long it would take for an Iowa fan to put UNI back in it's place as a second rate Iowa school after receiving some praise.

Re: Maine compares UNI to Iowa

I'm glad to see you care so much, I was just putting it in perspective. I obviously think UNI's defensive line is the strength of the team and is absolutely superb.


Man, some people get way too worked up - mostly you.

I said it was a great compliment. I'm obviously an Iowa fan for pointing out that he didn't play half the season and is a backup quarterback.

Back handed slights disguised as compliments, especially from you, aren't hard to pick up on.

Wasn't a slight, clenz. Sheesh.

I find it absolutely stunning how easy it is to get some people worked up. The slightest mention of the team at the other end of 380 and the pitchforks come out.

Actually, that team you are referring to was mentioned long before you came into the thread, so that isnt the case.

It looks to me like you got worked up at the slightest observation, that even a single part of a single team, could compare to the U of I.

Actually according to the game log from the Iowa-Maine game he started the game at WR, caught a couple passes and ran a few times, so I would say his opinion carries just as much weight as any other player who starter that game.
