Has anyone ever checked why the MAC is still a 1-A conference? The NCAA requires average attendance of 15,000 or a conference that does, but most attendance figures show 4,000-8,000 only.....should the NCAA not be more concerned about its own policies rather than worrying about "native American" mascots, etc??????!!!!!!!! -

So, are you a Buffalo fan or something?Comment

Maybe Dunbar will take the MizzouState gig. That'd be, as they say, friggin sweet!Comment

Dunbar should do a good job of keeping Buffalo a cellar dwelling program in Division I football.Comment

Maybe if he takes it UNI can get a game with Buffalo. That would be one of those quality wins over a 1A program that so impress people who don't have a clue.GO PANTHERS!Comment

Dunbar wouldn't be all bad for a bottom-feeder like Buffalo. Bring in a good Defensive coordinator, and completely keep Dunbar out of those decisions. His offenses were always fun, and for schools like Buffalo it's often the "show" that gets them out to the games. Kind of like the golf analogy: "Drive for show. Putt for dough." He's got the drive down, it's just that pesky "putting".Comment

NO I'm not a DUNBAR fan at all. I just thought you all would like to see what I found on the net.GO NORTHERN IOWA PANTHERS![SIZE="6"][/SIZE]Comment

Coach Dunbar gets a really bad rap on here. For god's sake, the guy went 7-4, 7-4, 8-3, 7-4. My two cents on this is that 1) TA had an unbelievable run here at UNI 2) When TA left, the Gateway competition was catching up to UNI. 3) Ifs and buts here, but there were many teams in the 90's that were 8-3 that just as easily could've been 7-4 (or 9-2) for that matter. Bottom line is Coach Dunbar came into a no win situation following in the footsteps of TA. I happen to like Mike and think he has a damn good offensive mind. Northwestern has been scary good on offense this year and it can largely be attributed to Coach Dunbar. People are entitled to their opinions on here and that's great. With that in mind, I felt it was time that somebody said something positive about Coach Dunbar.Comment

Good points PP.....but I think the Biggest gripe is the way some of TA's recruits were treated under Dunbar. IF Dunbar could have handled that better.....there is no reason UNI would have missed the playoffs.
Shane Fortney should not have been QB.....
Zo, Furrey and Berlin is an unbelievable WR line up..........and ZO didn't score a TD until the 4th game and it came on a running play.....that is silly......"We're not an ordinary school," said Fort. "We have tradition. We have a good team year after year. We rebuild, and it doesn't matter who we have coming back."

The problem with Dunbar is that he could have given a rat's a** about UNI and Cedar Falls. He was only using it as a stepping stone for something else. There was no way he was going to stay at UNI long whether he was winning or not.....Comment

PP.................he did nothing for the community. TA would give his shirt off his back to promote the program. Plus, we couldn't play defense! I missed the playoffs so bad that a group of us made a trip to Western Ill. to get the feeling back! By the way, haven't seen you at a tailgate yet.............you blowing smoke at us PP?Lettin' the cat outta the bag is a whole lot easier'n puttin' it back.

I don't think you will find too many people arguing his offensive mind. He put up huge numbers. He just didn't have much, if any, personality. He didn't enjoy people and apparently just wanted to be left alone and not be bothered by community appearances or promoting the team.Originally posted by PantherpowerIf 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

Dunbar would likely be a good fit at a bottom feeder like Buffalo where the expectations are low and you're not the biggest football game in town. Bottom programs have been able to improve via pass happy O's and winning even a few games would make him a school hero (hell, if he won 7 or 8 they may name the stadium after him). Its really as good a fit as any for Dunbar if he wants a head coaching gig again.Comment

Unfortunately, I've only been able to make one tailgate, the YSU game. However, I did get to see Cap'n Cat, DI Boyee, Chitown, 2317 and Mountain Panther during the SIU game. As I shared with Chi and Mountain Panther, ol' PP was in trouble with Miss PP from the night before.Comment
