You don't break out the Purple and Gold on game days or look for special gifts and gadgets bearing the colors because you want to be seen among the loyal. Purple and Gold aren't colors you see---they're colors you feel. They run through your veins with a continuous roar.

Re: Cue the Band
Never fails... I knew this thread was coming and I have goose bumps anyway. I am so ready!!!!!!"...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: Cue the Band
My 20-month old son has his Panther growl all ready to go! He also goes nuts when he sees any Panther emblem, pumping his fist in the air and saying "da da da da" - which is his way of saying "U-N-I FIGHT, U-N-I FIGHT". We raise our children right.....Comment

Re: Cue the Band
Awesome. My 18-month old also has started pumping his fist when we say U-N-I Fight. My 3 1/2 year old is back to requesting that I sing the Fight Song to him every night before he lets me leave his room. Last year, he listened while I sang it. This year, he knows the words and sings right along with me.Originally posted by PantherChic View Post"...the Northern Iowa men's basketball team reached the ultimate highs before hitting a devastating low.

Re: Cue the Band
Isn't it interesting how we are so influenced by our parents on who our favorite teams are? I wonder if I'd be a Bison fan if my dad hadn't taken me to all those games as a kid and taught me how to hate the Sioux? I'm a die hard Bison, Twins, and Vikings fan, thanks to my dad
. I don't support who your kids are cheering for, but I support them being fans and more importantly, fans of their dad and his team. i think something is wrong with a kid that grows up cheering for his dads biggest rival, or the team most everybody hates. It's either a bad heart in the kid, or bad parenting.
Go Bison!!!Comment

Re: Cue the Band
I went to Hawkeye and Cyclone games in Kinnick & Carver and Jack Trice & Hilton as a kid...despite the fact that NO ONE in my family graduated from either school (my mother attended Iowa her first 2 years, but received a degree from UNI, my dad played baseball for the Panthers, one aunt played basketball here and my grandmother graduated from Ohio State). I didn't attend a Panther athletic event until the UNI-Richmond playoff game a few years ago and then took a hiatus until I actually started my undergrad here. I guess I'm just a rebel and an anomaly but I tried to avoid that Black and Gold cloud that hangs over this state for as long as I can remember...the lawsuit against my parents for unwillingly dressing me in Hawkeye pj's as a child is still courtOriginally posted by 8>1 View PostIsn't it interesting how we are so influenced by our parents on who our favorite teams are?

However, I did take my dad's side and foolishly (or un-foolishly, in hindsight) become a fellow die-hard Red Sox fan. Endured some heartache, but it's all good now. My little brother on the other hand HAD to become a Yankee's fan...but at least it gives me an excuse to beat on him every now and then.Comment

Re: Cue the Band
When it came to sports, my brother and I usually ignored my Dad's opinion. He was a St. Louis Cardinal's fan...what can you do with someone like that?Originally posted by 8>1 View PostIsn't it interesting how we are so influenced by our parents on who our favorite teams are?
