  • Win next week=HOST 1st round?!

    Do we get a home game with a win next weekend?! What's your feelings? I believe that we get a first round with a W over NAU. IAA has a lot of 3 loss teams that will be playoff bound, and none are hotter than UNI right now!!

    We have to win convincingly, and hope the higher ranked teams keep getting beat. If we can get several to lose this or next week, and win, we COULD be ranked well inside the top-10, and get a seed.

      Agree! And we still need a big crowd in the UNIDome next week to cheer them on to win big against Northern Arizona!!!!!!!

        My opinion...we win, we host. I will write more later, as the facts come in, but that is my initial thought.
        The Lord reigns, let the earth be glad; let the distant shores rejoice, clouds and thick darkness surround Him; righteousness and justice are the foundation of His throne. Fire goes before Him, and consumes his foes on every side; His lightning lights up the world; the earth sees and trembles; the mountains melt like wax before the Lord of all the earth. The heavens proclaim His righteousness and all peoples will see His glory.

          I think that we really already get to host a first round game. We are the champions of the best I-AA football league. We are really hot right now and are on an awesome streak. If we win next week we definently are hosting a first round game and the score will not matter. What an awesome game!!! I was in the second row at the 47 yard line in the student section and everyone around me was really loud and into the game. It's a great day to be a PANTHER!!!! Playoffs here we come!!!
          Coach Whisenhunt 1/18/09. "There was never any complaints about not being named the starter, all he wanted was an opportunity and he took advantage of it. Kurt is probably one of the greatest individuals you'll ever meet. Kurt worked hard on a lot of things that a lot of times older quarterbacks aren't willing to do. That's a credit to his humility and his competitive drive, and the reason that we are here today in great part is what Kurt Warner has done for us."

            it's simple

            If we win, we're home for at least one game. We lose, it doesn't matter if we are the gateway champs or not, 7-4 means road required the whole way (barring some freakish occurance with multiple non 8 win teams). Regardless to say........just win baby!!!

            That's all we can do from here on out (or should I say from YSU on out)!

            You gotta believe baby!!!

              Right. The odds of hosting a game (Champs or not) with a 7-4 record is slim to none. We need this win and should win easily. However, they will come here with nothing to lose and should be trying to wreck our streak. We went there last year and laid a beating on them, they'll want to return the favor. Let's get another win and then the dome staff will have to deal with putting down and taking up the basketball court in a couple of weeks since we aren't done with home games baby!

              If computers ruled college basketball the way they do football, we'd have skipped all this March Madness monotony and just waited a month for the Kansas-Kentucky title game. And watched Northern Iowa play Cornell in the Poulan Weedeater Bowl. ~ Dwight Perry The Seattle Times

                Remember the committee is totally separate from any of the polls. I can totally see a top 4 seed. Also, late season play is a factor whether the rules say so or not!!

                  You are a glass half full kind of poster! I'm doubtful of a seed with only four being given out, but a first round game is very likely at this point. Need a big win over NAU to seal the deal though.

                    Yes, a big win over NAU is vital! A bit crowd in the Dome cheering on our Gateway Champs to a big win is vital!!!!!! Then, there will still be a LOT of work to do, and our team is up to that work.

                      People in Mission BC are starting to get used to seeing purple UNI shirts around....at the dog obedience classes I teach, at the Saturday morning dog confidence walks I have organized, and just at the different stores and places I go. I specifically wore my UNI shirts during the week of homecoming, and also this past week, all week long. I will be doing it again this week, hoping for a big win next Saturday. From here on every week is purple week all week!!!!! GO Panthers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
                      Wish I had a big UNI flag to go running around with, too LOL

                        Does your dog have a UNI sweater? Little cold up in BC.

                          that's awesome, canuck panther... i remember when i was in london, i saw someone running in iowa state shorts and i couldn't believe it.
                          on a different run in london, i was wearing uni shorts and an older guy in a harvard jacket was in an elevator with me at the tube stop and asked me what "uni" i went to. (uni is short for all universities in london.) he didn't seem too impressed when i explained it stood for a school in northern iowa.
                          Born to be a Cyclone,
                          Chose to be a Panther!

                            No, my dogs (all 4) do not have UNI sweaters, but then, we only need raincoats here on the Wet Coast.....it rains a LOT, but almost (well, somewhat almost) never snows or gets all that cold. Green all winter. Maybe I need some purple paint for my grass
                            A great story about the Iowa State and UNI things in London. Yes, the uni thing in England can be a bit "distracting" for those of us from UNI, especially since most in England, or Britain, or Canada, have little idea about Iowa to begin with LOL

                              Right now we would probably be the 5th seed, so we're on the outside looking in for a top 4. We would need some help. Top 4 right now is New Hampshire, Montana, App St, Hampton not necessarily in that order for the last 3. They all play early games this weekend, so we'll probably know by halftime how good are chances of a top 4 are. That is of course with us securing a W against NAU.

                              Just Win Baby!!!
