Drake predictions

[Big Cats]

I'll be there for every other game for tailgating, and am even planning on making the WIU bus trip.[/QUOTE]

So the WIU bus trip is a reality for sure? I haven't been able to get any info about it and assumed it was either a no go or still in the planning stage.

Is alcohol allowed on those bus trips??

How far by bus to Macomb??

Sounds like a good time.

Alcohol is mandatory. Non-alcoholic beverages are not allowed.

Bus ride should last around 3.5 hours and it will be a ton of fun!! Count JC in!

UNI/Drake

Though Drake is a nice non-scholarship team and they played SMS tough last season, I don't expect to see a close ball game. I think UNI should win the game handily. I'll go with

Panthers 44
Bulldogs 13

[JCPanthers]

I may have to swing by and say "hi" to ya JC. I plan on "working" (read: goofing off) in Cedar Falls on game day.

Sounds good. The more the merrier!!!

I'm not ready to concede a UNI blowout yet. I do think that UNI will win, however.

UNI 38
Drake 10

Attendance: 9,000 (students always come out in force for the first game of the year)

I hope they come out "in force" for every game this year.

UNI wins 52-0

[Blue42]

UNI dominates statistically but score is kept respectable. Farley and the staff pull the reins back hard on the fellas to avoid embarrasing Drake since they finally sacked up and scheduled a game with the Panthers after playing 1/2 the other teams in the Gateway.

Score is 38-14

UNI has yardage advantage of 2 to 1. I'll say 420 to 205 total yards. Rushing yards are 270 to 90.

But props to Drake for getting up to the Dome. They get a modest paycheck and a chance for some respect, but there's a good chance they'll get drilled. On the Panthers side, it's great. We've struggled to get non-conference 1AA games in the dome for years, and how get one with some legitimate local interest.

Yes, I agree. Drake deserves credit for agreeing to come to the fabulous UNI-Dome.

It will be sweet when UNI makes it down to Drake too.

This is a win/win!

"It's Like a mini Iowa-Iowa State"
"Bring 'em on," Jostes said. "No one expects us to go in there and win, except our team. We're competitors."
"Our goal is not just to be close," he said. "It's to win. We don't think we will lose."
"We have everybody back, so we don't have to teach the basic stuff," Jostes said. "We're working on advanced stuff. All the receivers have the routes down, so we're able to spend more time reading defenses better and finding openings."

Hmmmmmmmmm

I'm fired up don't know bout you guys. LETS GET IT ON!!

[GonzoCat]

Those quotes are exactly the way I hope our guys are feeling about the trip to Iowa City is a few weeks. I hope they don't spout off to a reporter about it though.

[Panthers to the Bone]

Anyone know/heard how tickets are going for this game?
