Does anybody know about tailgating in Vermillion?

Really like the uni's. Hopefully no one wants to ever wear them again because of the bad memories of the Panthers coming to town, though.

Not a big fan of the shiny numbers on the jerseys, but the rest of the uniform looks pretty sweet. Hopefully we can break them in with a big Panther win.

It is Dakota Days aka D-days (Homecoming) at USD this weekend. Should be a lot of pregame festivities for any Panther fans making the trip. The Coyotes are also wearing these new uniforms and helmets for the first time

Nothing over-the-top gaudy about it, the color combination works well. Kind of a classic look. I like it (for UNI, I always liked the gold home pants from the late '70s/early '80s, similar to what the NO Saints had way back in the early '70s).

Agreed, I think the 'true' old gold helmets and pants from those days looked great with purple jerseys.

Plenty of tailgating. There are reserved spots which are sold out but there is also tailgaing allowed in general parking, which is free. There will be ALOT of tailgating going on this Saturday. Should be a good time.

For reference, it's not as big of a party as NDSU (who is?) but it is bigger and better than at SDSU. Which is not smack towards SDSU. It was confirmed by their own fans that one thing we do right at USD is tailgating. Sort of a backhanded compliment but I'll take it.

Speaking of uniforms, ISU is getting some attention:

Those threads are not going to help them escape the "Clowns" label.

Re: #20 UNI @ South Dakota Game Thread

Today will be an interesting day in the MVFC. First of all UNI has to win and I believe that they will do so handily. The other thing is 4 of the teams with the best records in the conference are squaring of against each other today (SIU vs NDSU and ISU Red vs ISU Blue). Youngstown St is the only unbeaten team in conference play that is playing a like team (WIU). So at the end of the day there will be at least 2 most likely 3 teams that remain unbeaten in conference play and with a UNI win 4 teams with 1-1 records. So with a win today UNI still will be right in the middle of things and remain relevant. If we were to lose today there would be just too many teams between us and the top spot to overcome IMO. So here is the formula, win our game this Saturday & the winning streak starts today.

Dannen needs to put heat on Farley to make staff changes if they lose any games in the MVFC from here on out, outside of NDSU.

Its gameday and I find myself dreading kickoff, and wondering what horrible thing our team is gonna do today.

Please, just play like we should for once, and stomp a mud hole into these guys.

Same deal here.

UNI football used to be what i built my fall Saturdays around, but today it just not. I'll watch, but I don't find myself flying through other tasks to make sure I'm done like I used to.

I dread a bad start today. This team has the talent but isn't given the tools to crush people.

That said, we win today but won't look dominant. I'll take us 24-14.

Re: #20 UNI @ South Dakota Game Thread

So do we screw up and wear our Purple jerseys the same way the "screwed up" last year and wore their red uniforms?
