oops, I guess PantherFan beat me to the punch while I was trying to format. And obviously I used the same source data as them, so if there was an inconsistency, and LurkingDog claims, mine would have the same.

Re: Drake--home opener

UNI better name their score in this one, ISU's luck UNI loses by a touchdown.

Re: Drake--home opener

Troy Dannen tweeted UNI has sold 250 new season tickets this week!!! Season tix sales up 9% over last year...

My family is 3 of them. Looking forward to football and seeing my Son play tuba in the band.

Re: Drake--home opener

I do remember one game in Des Moines in either 1982 or 1985. The name still haunts me to this day: Amaro Ware. He was to UNI that day what David Johnson was to ISU last Saturday. A beast.

I don't think Drake has such a player this year, but it goes to show, you never know what you'll encounter on the gridiron. We gotta be ready.

Re: Drake--home opener

Iowa sucks.

All the more reason why I REALLY wish that Iowa hadn't chosen the wuss route by not seeing it as having any benefit to them to play UNI.

UNI would definitely give them all that they could handle this year, especially when you consider that Iowa couldn't even beat N. Illinois, which we could beat with a team assembled off of this forum!

Iowa didn't really have much of a choice about whether or not they can continue playing us; the decision to end FCS games was made by the B1G commissioner.

That would have been 1982. Drake, coming off that 10-1 season, opened with the win over UNI. I was looking forward to Drake's next game, against defending I-AA champion Idaho State...thinking Drake was going to be a big deal in this new classification. Instead, the Bulldogs reeled off four straight losses. Very disappointing.

I agree it was out of their hands. However many many Iowa fans want to end the isu series.

Nice irony, 1988.

Re: Drake--home opener

I want 70+ from UNI tomorrow. Let the reserves play a real second half and put the hammer down. Need real game experience for these guys, not 3 runs up the middle and punt. If the game isn't essentially over midway through the second period, I will be very disappointed.

Re: Drake--home opener

Reserves in before half, Farley calls off the dogs in 3rd. 56-14 Panthers.

We saw the Drake buses on 20 while driving up last night. Puppies being led off to slaughter.
