Youngstown State @ UNI

Re: Youngstown State @ UNI

I would cheer for "Mother of the Saints from Dubuque" if they were playing iowa. But thanks for your permission to do so.

Or... you could watch the player who broke records once held by Jerry Rice at the University of Dub (Michael Zweifel).

Re: Youngstown State @ UNI

I have a perfect example of what is wrong with UNI football. We were tailgating Saturday, we started at noon, and one of the many UNI student groups selling stuff came walking up. We had the Michigan/iowa game on the radio. We of course were cheering for Michigan. One of the guys selling stuff asked "What is the score?" I said "It is terrible Michigan is losing." He looked at me like I was speaking Chinese. He then said "You are in iowa you should be cheering for iowa." I then told him this is Northern Iowa and we would not be buying anything from him.

The way the kid looked at me when I told him the game was terrible was priceless. He didn't get it and he is a student at UNI.

Sorry I cannot cheer for Michigan at all. Even against Iowa it hurts me to say. However, here's a little something from the central part of Michigan to enjoy. It would be funny to see Sparty take care of the Hawks.

Re: Youngstown State @ UNI

I had a similar run in with an older Gentleman in the Art Bldg as I was coming to the game Saturday.

He said "How about them Hawks." I replied, "did they win?", He looked at me as though I was crazy. He replied "OF COURSE they beat MICHIGAN". (Frankly, I will cheer for the home state teams but I am solidy a UNI fan!).

Nect he said "Hows about Iowa State" again I replied, "did they win?", He looked at me as though I was crazy and stupid. He replied "OF COURSE they beat Kansas".

To that tone I said "I hope we make it a clean sweep". That man then said "well I dont think it will happen" with a tone that he appeared to want UNI to lose...

I told the man I was from StL and he looked at me with distain (??) {I guess he must have been a Cubs fan} .
I wished the man a good evening and I also stated Go Panthers...

I guess some people can not get it through their thick heads that there are more than two Universities in the state of Iowa. Oh well, I guess our teams will have to go out and prove it on the field/court whatever it takes, afterall UNI has a great Teaching college.....

Peace

Re: Youngstown State @ UNI

I have always thought you were a bison fan becasue of your ID, Herdman. I apologize because that it the worst insult I have ever had for anyone.

No worries eights, no worries at all. I appreciate the confusion. I grew up in Iowa and support all that is Iowa, but really like UNI.

I grew up in Ohio and I cheer for Michigan before iowa! Although those are the bottom two teams in all of college football in my mind,

Re: Youngstown State @ UNI

IMO the attendance is about what I expected. It is a fact that over the years we only consistently get huge crowds when we have special teams (92, 96, 07). We are the ultimate bandwagon.

Last weeks loss sealed small crowds from here on out. I think that next week would have been around 9000 if not for the fact The Courier doing their $10 ticket promotion again. We will probably get a crowd similar to yesterday's...

It just seems like this program's sizzle died in Normal in 2009...

I haven't seen/heard anything about this Courier promotion other than this post. Anyone know anything about it? Can't find anything on the Courier website.

Re: Youngstown State @ UNI

Ohio is a terrific state. Scenic, esp down south and in the east. The cities are all right-sized. Beer is plentiful.

Big population, good people.
