"...the Northern Iowa men's basketball team reached the ultimate highs before hitting a devastating low. Unexpected success, followed by unimaginable failure. And they owned it -- all of it -- for the world to see. Like men. Like leaders. Like champions -- in a way no tournament bracket could ever define."Comment

Re: UNI Picked 4th in Preseason Poll
Not one defensive player. Not a lot of respect. Let's hope that's a big chip on the team's shoulder this season.If computers ruled college basketball the way they do football, we'd have skipped all this March Madness monotony and just waited a month for the Kansas-Kentucky title game. And watched Northern Iowa play Cornell in the Poulan Weedeater Bowl. ~ Dwight Perry The Seattle Times

Re: UNI Picked 4th in Preseason Poll
I think this is a very accurate preseason poll. SIU on top with a tight race for 2nd between us, SDSU, and Il St.Selling a lot of old UNI stuff here: http://www.panthernation.com/showthread.php?t=65762Comment

Thought this was funny - I went to the MVC page linked previously, and got the following ads presented. Don't know what google is thinking about my internet browsing habits...

Re: UNI Picked 4th in Preseason Poll
We were the overwhelming favorites going into the 2009 season, and look how that turned out.
And here is how the 2005 preseason Gateway poll looked:

1. Southern Illinois (18) -- 237
2. Western Kentucky (9) -- 223

4. Western Illinois -- 124
5. Missouri State -- 119
6. Youngstown State -- 104
7. Illinois State -- 91
8. Indiana State -- 48Comment

Re: UNI Picked 4th in Preseason Poll
I don't get too caught up in these things. But we get to play SDSU and Ill State in the DOME this year. Both teams beat us last year when most would have considered us heavily favored (turnover happy QB didn't help).
I personally feel our RBs/DBs/WRs/TEs are good as anyone's in FCS. Only questions are on Oline and Dline. I have a feeling our recruiting brought in kids just as good as ever at those positions with question marks. SO here's to the next man in.
Anything less than playoffs is a failure.

Re: UNI Picked 4th in Preseason Poll
Last year UNI had their best defense that I have ever witnessed and a great running back combination.
They were a QB away form winning a national title last year IMO. Farley lost a few points in my book for not pulling the plug on Grace with a few games left in the season. Instead he ran the ball against two cupcakes at home instead of getting another QB ready for a playoff push. It bit him in the butt at Illinois State and that was the season.
with a different QB last year UNI would be the favorite going into the year.
IMO the poll doesn't mean anything.Comment

Re: UNI Picked 4th in Preseason Poll
Some interesting info many might not know....
UNI Started 3 Freshman DBs in the last game of the year at Ill State.
Garrett Scott
JJ Swain
Andre Martin (I think he will be a real good one too)
Jamar Thompson and LJ Fort both started at LB
Darren Branch started over Boothby for whatever reason.
I think we're gonna be just fine on Defense...
My only question would be with the lack of depth on the Dline and many upper classman LBs, does Farley try to put the 3-4 back in???"We're not an ordinary school," said Fort. "We have tradition. We have a good team year after year. We rebuild, and it doesn't matter who we have coming back."
