Absolutely pathetic. The University has a program that will be playing in front of 70,000 plus people 2 times in the first 3 weeks of the season, both on coast to coast television, and we are sharing a poster with two non-revenue sports. Good thing we picked up that extra FBS game this year.

Not just that...but sharing it with freaking high school playoffs.


100000% unacceptable.

I hope people flood the athletic department with emails over this one. I know I will

Re: Posters

Iowa booth was packed with staff getting a forearm workout rolling posters, same for the ISU booth. The upper Iowa booth was also very busy. The UNI booth .... crickets.

Not good. The UNI tent on the RAGBRAI route was the same. While the 3 workers were keeping busy, it was nothing compared to the ISU, UI, and DU tents (yep, couldn't get near the DU slapsticks). The UNI give aways were pretty much non-existent, unless you wanted a panther temp tattoo or an alum sticker.

Where oh where has the marketing department gone?


BTW, do we have any riders from team NIpride on here? Awesome jerseys this year!

Re: Posters

They had a sign up saying, due to limited supply one one poster per person please. Iowa booth was packed with staff getting a forearm workout rolling posters, same for the ISU booth. The upper Iowa booth was also very busy. The UNI booth .... crickets. One couple talking to the guy behind the poster counter as I just walked right up and grabbed one without even a look or how's it going. The both was very large, plain, and empty. Not good marketing.

Not quite math posters, but pretty lame nonetheless ...... and pre-folded

I don't want to ruin the look I've got going in my office, so I'm doubting this one will be making the wall.

Wow. THAT's what we're giving away? Won't make it a point to go out of my way tomorrow to go to the UNI booth. Are they selling t-shirts and stuff?

Re: Posters

I'm extremely embarrassed about this entire thing. Just found out at the State Fair that no posters are available. I'll be working the UNI booth at the fair and I'm already dreading the questions about why no posters. That's the only reason I stop by the UNI booth at the fair in all years past. Then I can put it up at work. Iowa State fans have had their football posters up for almost a month now. I know we don't have the budget they do but I have friends that work in bulk printing and I quickly inquired with them about costs. It doesn't sound like this would save all that much money. I'd love to see what the UNI AD is saving on this and if that's the reason behind it or if they really feel this is a way to encourage attendance? I've heard for a couple of years now the Ath. Dept. is in questionable hands right now and I've wanted so badly for that to be incorrect. I think about how many UNI alumni that are teachers that put their posters up in classrooms, or people like myself that put it up at work. If you want the other Iowa/Iowa State fans to feel like UNI is relevant we have to be in the public eye more and taking posters away from your own fans is 2 steps in the wrong direction.

I take this as a very serious sign that something is amiss. If it's budgetary I get it, but again this can't be saving all that much money in the long run and it's just going to turn fans off of UNI athletics. No one wants to be associated with a University Athletic program that DOESN'T EVEN HAVE POSTERS! EVERY high school I can think of has a football poster but not our university? I am down right embarrassed right now.

I might just take this image to a print shop and see if they will just print it at poster size for my desk at work.

You'll be handing out posters, see the crap ones above. What you'll be fielding are the questions of why are they lame and where are the football specific ones.

Do you know their size? I saw the pictures but couldn't get an idea of the scale. Does it even matter? They're pretty lame. I think this will be a huge discussion topic at the TC Tailgate at the Jasper Winery this Thursday in Des Moines.

Re: Posters

That is pathetic. Being 500 odd miles away, I look forward to getting that poster every year from family or friends. Last year I was actually there for the fair so I picked one up myself. I am very disappointed there will be no separate football poster. Did the marketing department tick off the sponsors? I understand that the athletic department doesn't have a lot of money to work with but the sponsorship of these posters should pay for the cost of them. This is an embarrassment.

Re: Posters

Were the old ones printed on campus in a shop that we have now lost?

No, to my knowledge they were produced by Woolverton Printing.

Horrible looking! Would ironing take some of the fold crease out?

I assumed this was the football poster.
