    Looks like were headed to texas.

    Well folks it is looking like our Panther may be headed down to Texas next week. End of third quarter and they are up 14 - 0. I did watch some of the game and Texas was looking real good. To bad... I would have loved to go see one more Dome game this year.

    Great win on the road today!! UNH realy moved the ball well on us and racked up some yardage. But in the end our panthers dug deep to get another fantastic win. Speaks volumes about the character and strength of heart of this team. Reminds me of a quote by one of the greats in football history,
    " Its not the size of the man in the game but the size of the game in the man." Or some thing like that.

    Great win Panthers, you make us fans proud!

        Stupid question but, it is a GUARANTEED home game for them, right? Someone please tell me that they "forgot" to put a bid in and we get the game instead!!

          According to the ESPN announcers the game will be played there - not sure if that is 100% correct or not...

            I thought it was strictly a highest seed gets home deal. It should be that if you beat #1 you get thier home bid

              Texas State hosts b/c they are the seeded team b/t the two teams (TSU and UNI).

              I'm thinking about going to San Marcos...but, I don't know!
              The Lord reigns, let the earth be glad; let the distant shores rejoice, clouds and thick darkness surround Him; righteousness and justice are the foundation of His throne. Fire goes before Him, and consumes his foes on every side; His lightning lights up the world; the earth sees and trembles; the mountains melt like wax before the Lord of all the earth. The heavens proclaim His righteousness and all peoples will see His glory.

                The seeded team gets the home game as long as they meet the minimum bid. Hopefully Texas State didn't

                  Yeah, its all wishful thinking.

                  That was a great atmosphere down there today, good showcase for I-AA.

                  IMHO, it was a little lame that the students rushed the field, but hey, I guess you can't knock them too much for caring.

                    Someone can correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't believe this program has ever won a playoff game. This is a huge deal for them. Hopefully there will be a little bit of intimidation when they look at UNI's playoff experience (we just won't tell them that we haven't ever won a semi )
                    If 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

                      According to my friends in TX - no they haven't made it this far before....

                        Despite the fact that they haven't been this far (in fact this is their first playoff appearance ever I believe), something tells me those Texas boys will be tough to intimidate.
                        Winning is more fun than losing.

                          Texas is football. A lot of their high school stadiums are nicer than the one we just played in. I have no doubt that they won't be intimidated. We just need to go there and play Panther football again. One week at a time and we'll FINALLY have a NC banner to hang in the Dome!

                            That pretty well sums it up. That state is football rabid, and are VERY smart football fans. It'll be a hostile environment, but nothing this team can't handle.

                              While you are correct we haven't had 1-AA playoff experience we did win two Division 2 titles in the early 80's so the program has been in the playoffs but not for a very long time. You also have to remember who we beat in the first round, Georgia Southern, who has probably the most playoff experience of any 1-AA program including six national championships as they reminded us over and over and over again LOL
