Ryan's Rants

[ryan19]

For anyone here that cares (which I don't expect to be too many of you), I am writing a sports opinion article for the Northern Iowan. I know Cap'n will enjoy my latest article. I will link the 1st 3 for everyone, and I am writing about two a week right now.

You are a very forward-looking young man. The novelty of the Dome wore off in the 90's and it's time to get out. Leave it there for other activities, but build a new one.

Don't get me wrong, I was proud as hell to play in it 25-30 years ago, but it was always my second or third favorite place in the conference.

Just being honest. After our first NC, we should break ground on a new stadium. Betcha the state of Iowa would give us all the funding in the world for it, too.

ranting about your rants.

your second article, which was published on 8/30 starts off:

The University of Northern Iowa fall athletic season has yet to get underway from a fan’s perspective

I would, however, disagree.
Soccer had already played 2 exhibition matches and 3 regular season matches.
And volleyball had already played in 3 matches at the Purdue tournament. Also, I've been known to wear UNI gear when attending other sporting events. And I don't feel bad about it at all.

Haha.. I picked up on that too.. but I didn't want to split hairs.

Re: Ryan's Rants

Let's be honest, Soccer has about seventeen fans, and all the Volleyball matches have been out of state.

For 95% of panther fans and their perspectives, his quote is dead on.

Wow, Ryan must not be much of a UNI fan. Hopefully, Soccer and Volleyball aren't sensitive. I, also, attend other (non UNI) sporting events and usually wear Purple and Gold.

Article suggestion: Volleyball national ranking and ticket sales.

then why not just be honest about it and say "UNI Football" instead of "UNI fall athletics".

I've followed every volleyball match on the radio.

Congrats. Kyle is still correct.

I've also followed them on my phone and the radio, but I understand I am not in the majority.

Re: Ryan's Rants

I followed them in my car.
sitting in my car listening to the radio the first weekend (can't get much AM reception in my apt), and then driving up to Mpls last weekend.

Re: Ryan's Rants

UNI wouldn't have had the success it's had without the Dome. There wouldn't be attendance to ***** about if we didn't have the Dome. Love it or hate it, we wouldn't be half the program we are without it.

Re: Ryan's Rants

I wore a UNI shirt at the College World Series this summer (it being the only purple I had while supporting TCU) and got quite a few comments. The best one's were the sighs and disappointed sounds coming from the Kansas fans!
