Homecoming vs. SDSU

Re: Homecoming vs. SDSU

We'll be there. Love my Panthers no matter what.

Basketball starts two weeks from today, boys...

1st sentence...agreed...I go as much for the event and the people as the results of the games.

2nd sentence...again, agreed - but, God, how long has it been since we had to say that at the halfway point of the football season to make us feel better?

Re: Homecoming vs. SDSU

We'll be there LOUD & PURPLE PROUD!!

Us too. No matter the level of execution from week to week, these kids work hard and deserve to be supported. It is like I used to tell my sons when they were small. Just because you try your hardest doesn't mean you always do your best. They will right the ship and play better. I am ready for a Panther Victory!

I will also be there with a group. I might scream and swear and throw things, but I'll keep watching them, because I'm a Panther fan.

I'm with ya. I don't ever recall swearing in the dome like I did a few weeks ago. My hat went flying so often it got enough airmiles for a flight to Orlando. I need to get that under control....

Also, we've got so many coming that we are out searching for tix. 16 just ain't a big enough group.

Right Born A Panther, Me too. Been there for 45 years and always will be, just like your mom and dad! You were raised with the right colors!

Yup, the fair-weather fans who travelled to Wisconsin, Iowa, had a party for the YSU game then subsequently threw everybody out after UNI lost because he was so mad, then travelled to the Dome for the NDSU game, and who went to every single game in the Dome the last 4 years is jumping off the bandwagon.

Maybe we fair-weather fans are just tired of seeing UNI lose in the same way every single year. Maybe not, we might just be people who root for winners and don't really have a team.

There aren't undefeated teams every year...so when teams lose...they always lose the same way (every team in the history of sport) they score less than the winning team.

UNI has been in the Top 25 for over 1/2 a decade straight. They are a winning program who is having a down year. In times like these, it is most important to support the program. Kids considering becoming Panthers in the future see fan support. So...let's push all of our chips in with the Panthers and cheer them on to win #2 this season. It's the biggest game on our schedule. Go Panthers.

Very well said. We're so used to winning and being in the mix, that we kind of lose our heads when it doesn't happen one year. I truly believe this is a blip rather than a trend. Farley's got 100 wins in his tenure that says so. Figuring it all out and putting our best foot forward for next year begins now - let's rebuild that foundation, and keep it going in '13.

Been making the 400 mile round trip for home games for over, uh, well 20, uh 30 uh 40 years. Not going to stop now--gotta use those season tickets. You are right, the players that are visiting this weekend will be swayed one way or the other by the crowd on Satuday nite. As far as I'm concerned we are 0-0.

I was being sarcastic about jumping off the band wagon. I'm still firmly in place on the wagon.
