Ankeny, hopefully no cold/stormy weather, can't wait!

Umm, we do play in a dome you know!







I know what you mean, for tailgating, I just couldn't resist.

Today is the day, Panther Fans! Get your purple and gold on (if you ever take it off). Panther Football Season is starting today!

Article from the WCF Courier

Here are some things to watch Friday:

Jared Lanpher, a redshirt freshman from Blue Springs, Mo., and Will Roth, a redshirt freshman from Linn-Mar High in Marion, will get plenty of snaps at quarterback.

"I want to see how our two younger quarterbacks function," said Farley. "They need all the snaps they can get. We need to find out who that next guy is going to be if anything happens to Terrell."

Brian Palangi has moved from guard to center where he must assume a leadership role for the offensive line.

"Last week, he really started to get more comfortable," Farley noted. "He's starting to become part of that leadership on the o-line."

Former runningback Wilmot Wellington is getting a look in the secondary where he adds speed and athleticism.

"That was an experiment early in camp, but we left him there because he was adapting and getting better," said Farley. "The experiment was to try him there for three days, but we left him there for all 15 practices."

The secondary as a whole has been impressive throughout the spring.

"They are by far our most improved group," said Farley. "We've changed some things and they've adapted to it and worked hard to make it work."

Those defensive backs may have their hands full with a talented corps of receivers.

"I've been pleased with them," noted Farley. "We have three freshmen receivers and three older guys. The seniors and freshmen have adapted to each other and come together."

Overall, it's been a productive spring for the Panthers, who have also remained relatively injury-free. Farley said defensive back Garrett Scott, defensive tackle Muhammad Kromah and defensive end Darrin Branch may be the only players held out because of injuries Friday.

Talked with Troy Dannen yesterday and the statue is being cast in bronze in Milan, Italy, next week. Little pricey, over $200,000, but Troy received permission from the legislature to get the money form the General Fund. This $200G was earmarked for a Kinnick statue of Chuck Long, but he's going to have to wait until 2014, I understand.

Mine is a full sized replica of The Cap'n in his Panther prime, 6'7", 290 lbs, His famous #74, hottie Cat cheerleader at His slender hip, crushing a Youngstown State helmet under His mighty foot.

That was pretty good, an added jolt to an already beautiful Friday. Thanks Cap'n

Hopefully the team actually decides to play in that game.

Re: 2011 Spring Game 4/29
