    Re: Ticket Sales for Saturday

    one note about the blackout: did anyone else have trouble reading player numbers with those black jerseys? I had difficulty with the purple-on-black. (but then, my eyesight isn't exactly the best either)

      Scheels and UBS were both sold out of Black Out t-shirts this morning. I think it was a definite win/win for the UNI athletic dept. on the black out.
      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.

        I also was pretty pleased at how well people did with the blackout. There was a ton of black in there today.
        Back in 1987 a friend and I went to Ames for the Iowa/ISU game. I am a Hawkeye fan and he is a Cyclone fan. We are also "dual fans" and then jumped in the car and headed up to Cedar Falls for the UNI game later that afternoon. That was a fun day.

        The amount of "dual fan" bashing that goes on here has soured me from even thinking of doing something like that recently. I've turned to heading out for D3 games in the area if I'm not heading out to Iowa City. I still consider myself a fan of UNI, I love coming on here and reading about the Panther Nation, I think we have a top FCS program in the country...along with ASU, Montana and a few others. I, and others feel like we aren't welcome anymore at the UNI Dome unless we are Panther Fans first. And that is among relatives!!!

        Maybe that has something to do with attendance? Then again, 12,500 does sound like a typical number for UNI. I would just like to see attendance numbers more typically higher before I hear more talk of UNI making the jump to FBS among my family. Then again, I have always preferred UNI to be the big dog in FCS and make regular playoff appearances instead of making the jump to FBS.

          Yes, there is dual-fan bashing here on the message boards. But message boards are generally populated by the over-zealous, fanatical type fans. Do you really get crap about the dual fan thing in real life (i.e. away from the message board?)

          Granted, I might be tempted to mention something to someone that shows up to a UNI game totally decked out in Hawkeye or Cyclone gear (or Florida or Michigan or Notre Dame, etc. etc.) but I wouldn't be too crtical of them.


          And UNI will never make the jump to FBS. They just don't have the budget to do so, and the state of Iowa just doesn't have enough football fans to support three FBS programs.

            Yeah, I know that message boards are populated by over-zealous, fanatical type fans...just look at a Hawkeye board to see that run amok!!! But a former employer of mine was populated with some dual-fan haters and I also have some relatives...or my wife does, actually. That have pretty much made it out that I don't really belong at the UNI Dome anymore. And in the Cedar Valley area you are seeing more and more of it.

            I totally agree with you about seeing fans at the Dome decked out in Hawkeye or Cyclone gear. That is unacceptable, and I believe a violation of a man law

              So you have a problem with some message board people and your in-laws? Sounds like a typical day at the office for everyone here!

              Screw 'em... Go to the games. You don't have to sit next to them, in fact, you will probably have more fun if you don't.

                While it might seem easy to simply bring a change of shirts and head from the SUIvISU game and hit the dome. There are possibly some who did it spur of the moment. Maybe some from Iowa who recognized our skill after handily showing up ISU and maybe some ISU fans who just needed to get behind a winning Iowan squad before being able to sleep. On the way to the dome, I did post a "Hey, don't go home yet, c'mon over to Cedar Falls and cheer on the Panthers" on my facebook so I would have been reluctant to criticize any who changed their plans spur of the moment and came to cheer our Panthers. We should be a little more open to allowing our fanbase to grow and pull in Iowans from anywhere.

                  THIS. If you let the comments of a few people prevent you from going to the UNI games, you just don't want it bad enough.

                  Go to a game at the Dome. Soon you'll be pondering whether you want to bother to go to the Iowa or ISU game because it will interfere with Panther gameday!
