Are you kidding me?

What in the world is this kid talking about in the Northern Iowan?!?! Does he have any idea what some student season tickets cost at other schools? Were talking in the $100's.
This article is dumb. Am I missing something? It's $10 with 2 free t-shirts, local discounts and its FREE ADMISSION and you can sit anywhere in the student sections.

Maybe he'd be happier sitting in the corner of the stadium, like students sections do at most other schools. UNI students can sit within spitting distance of the sideline, right at midfield. That's a pretty good deal, folks.

The only thing I'd change would be to move the UNI sideline across the field, and let the student sit right on top of the opponent's bench.

A suggestion for the MAC...at Maryland for one, maybe Duke as well, the "student section" is the first X number of rows all the way around the court...so the whole building feels like a student section. Something to think about in the MAC.

Wow!

That might be the dumbest editorial I have ever read. Who is this moron? How much do you pay to get into these games? Maybe he'd be willing to pay what Duke or for that matter Iowa students pay to get into the game. I'm sure the athletic department would be glad to take your money. Way back in the day (1995) students paid and ADDITIONAL $60 on top of the activity fee for an all sports pass. This whiner pays NOTHING on top of the fee to get into the game and is crying about $10. Tell him to call me and I'll give him the $10...

Let's point the finger were the pointing is due.

What kind of "I was a dork in High School and don't care about sports" is running the Northern Iowan? Who would let this kind of negative publicity go campus wide before the biggest game in the dome in the last two years. Who ever let this story publish today should be punished by the higher authorities. I know that there is the freedom of the press but if this was a profit making paper publishing this as an editorial about a profit making sports program within another organization there would be lawyers contacted. I am emailing, ney, calling the Northern Iowan right now. Oh, by the way the phone number is 319 273 2157 email is [email protected] or you can reach the author himself Nate Tuenge at 319 222 2128 or via email at [email protected]

Maybe Brian Wingert should send them a nasty email and cry, or better yet call and leave a message to call him and then not return your phone call because he is scared.

[NorthernIowaBacker]

By far the dumbest article I have ever read. Took me 3 minutes to do the research and you pay full ticket prices at many other schools. I cannot believe they let this article run. This kid is.....dumb.

There you go again bringing up Brian. Get over yourself and move on. You made some dumb comments a couple of days ago, that have all but blown over, and then there you go again. You are 4 years removed from UNI, do yourself a favor and act like an adult with a college degree!

According to his profile on Facebook, which is a new student internet dealy, he lists the Mac's Maniacs AND Panther Posse as things he HATES. He also states that he likes to tell people that he is a punter for the football team because it makes him feel special (something along those lines). This kid is quite the d-bag...

[ejacobson]

Someone tell this kid that Corn Suckers (NE Cornhuskers) Studnet Season tickets are 140 bucks, assigned seats, corner of the End Zone, surrounded by security and no free tshirt. And the fuskers suck too. UNI is freaking awesome. Someone please consult Eric Cartman for what to do with this kid, I'll bet he says to kick him in the nuts. Wow, so I guess things are soo good at UNI that the only thing to whine about is $10 student tickets, Im sorry but that is just stupid.

[MiloCat]

Does he not realize student tickets at Iowa, for example, are $95 this year (over $200 last year). That's just for basketball. I have no idea what they pay for football. We pay $10 for both! He doesn't know how good we have it here at UNI.

By the way, most of those editorials are junk. It seems like the only requirement to be an opinion writer for the Northern Iowan is the desire to piss people off.

[Newsbreaker]

Iowa seats are 23 a game for football, so add that up.

The NI, in my experience, was a pretty 'special' little organization who only sought to make waves and say incredibly stupid things.

I made no dumb comments! I made very obvious comments that if all you guys would stop being the freaking Spartain Cheerleaders from SNL again you would realize are made very frequently on every other boards in America.

THIS KID CALLED MY HOUSE, are you freaking kidding me! After calling me out and demanding that he talk to me I return his phone call and all of a sudden he doesn't want to talk anymore. I wanted to give the kid an apology and a little support and he won't return my phone call that he DEMANDED MY ROOMATE TO TELL ME TO MAKE so now I decide to raz him a little bit (hopefully he has learned his lesson and stayed off the freaking board, apparently the coaches demand players to stay off of here so your hero is breaking team rules). Who are you to tell me to get over myself anyway? Seriously, go ahead and post all of your personal info on the board, go ahead!

I appreciate the rest of you to take my little stab in this thread for what it was supposed to be, A JOKE! Thanks

[Newsbreaker]

The kid called you at home? Freaking neat-o. I hope the rest of the team is more focused on Saturday then that.

You know what this situation calls for....the perfect cheer!

[georgiapantherfan]

The writer is a buffoon, plain and simple. His article is one of the most asinine things I have ever read. Let's fill up his inbox with emails panther nation!

[pantherclaw]

I have a letter-to-the-editor response written and drafted already, and will be delivered promptly in the morning. I have used several of the facts presented in this very thread as reference why this gentleman appears to have not done his research. I definetly don't think that UNI has anything to complain about for ticket prices. GO CATS.
