mudra, JFC, i dont agree with pantherhawk but you knew what he meant. if you have to rely on semantics to win your argument, you probably shouldnt be arguing.

Please continue to post here. I think the info/opinions you give on the Panthers are good.

Sometimes this Cat/Bird fight is entertaining, but it does get old.

Re: Robinson, Hampton, Wegher

I continue to be amazed at the overall attitude towards non-UNI fans that find angles to put the team down. It has nothing to do with dual fandom...it has to do with wanting the best for UNI athletics & giving them the respect they completely deserve. UNI has come a significant ways in a very short time & does an incredible amount of good w/ very low resources. We should be very, very proud of what we have. If you go to other boards, the bashing & misrepresenting of the home team not only is not allowed, but the first sign of an outsider, you are simply gone.

Re: Robinson, Hampton, Wegher

After reading a few of these posts, I have to agree with SchniDogg. Unless I missed something, Pantherhawk wasn't "attacking" UNI's level of play at at all...just stating a fact. That fact, for you anti BCS, anti Hawkeye folks out there with blinders on, is that BCS level football is played at a higher level than FCS...period. Other than something irrefutable like a score, that's about as fact based as you can get in sports. That's not knocking FCS at all, it's still good football. And, every decent FCS team has at least a few guys who could play at the BCS level - that's also a fact.

There are probably 200+ NFL scouts roaming the country every year, watching every conceivable team. I'll bet you $1M that if you surveyed them all, they'd tell you BCS football is superior to FCS football. It is what it is, but it's not a reason to disrespect FCS ball. Pantherhawk didn't do that if you look at his post in context.

There definitely are some here who get their nuts in a bunch if the word "Hawk" is mentioned, but that's fandom. I've always wondered why the same reaction doesn't occur when the word "Cyclone" is typed. My theory is that some of the Hawk haters are actually closet Clone fans. That's fine, but just be honest about it.

Stein giving a lecture on bias. LOL.

You've convinced yourself that Utah's program doesn't belong in the same conversation as Iowa, and then you are the first to fly off the handle when you feel the Hawks are being unfairly attacked on a UNI message board.

Of course BCS football is a higher level of football than FCS football.

Utah's program isn't as good as Iowa's. Iowa isn't Florida or Alabama, but it's better than Utah.

Attack the Hawks if you want - it's a message board. Of course, if someone posts something blantantly stupid (Ferentz is the Devil, our players are choir boys, their's are all thugs, all Iowa fans are anti-Christs etc.) I might feel compelled to respond. I just felt that people went into an unneeded tizzy when someone said that IAA and BCS football aren't the same. They aren't, and no need to have a knee jerk reaction IMO. The flipside is someone shouldn't bash or belittle FCS football either - like the moron element on Hawkeye Report. It's the extremes on both sides that I have issue with.

06panther10 - if you have some inside info, here's a question. What do you think the odds are of us signing him? I know what everyone's said about South Dakota, etc., but this is the first I've heard he might have interest. In your opinion, is this a courtesy visit, or is he serious about signing here (and vice versa)?

In what sense? Your original idiotic statement was in the context of UNI's ability to compete with either team, so it's hard to argue you were making a 50 year comparison. You also stated that Iowa would kick the snot out of Utah, a statement you have yet to refute.

Utah is 2-0 in BCS bowls, Iowa is 1-1. Utah's win over Bama clearly compares favorably with Iowa's win over G-Tech.

If the Patriots played in the MWC, Stein would be convinced they didn't have the athletes to compete with Iowa.

Man, I think this thread is going to piss off everyone before it's done.

Iowa is not a better program than Utah. That said, I wouldn't say Utah is definitively better, either. They are both high quality programs.

BYU, on the other hand, is the NDSU of FBS football. They're living off their success from 30 years ago and have delusions of grandeur.

I do not know how interested he is in UNI, or how interested UNI is in him.

But he has taken an official visit to UNI. That's all I know.
