It's here. Bear Week. Senior Day. Playoff football if you will. It will be an emotional, fiery game that hopefully will see UNI getting win #8 to solidify any notion of getting into the playoffs and possibly securing a seed with some magic.
Hopefully the students will stick around for the game! Damn you week long vacations!
We will say our final regular season home goodbye to some great kids.
Thank you to (correct me if I miss any or some are wrong so I can change them)

May your careers be defined not only what you did at UNI but in the futures that are ahead of you and how you compete with life ahead. Panthers Forever.
I feel bad for MSU....wait..nahhh no I don't. Well maybe except for Terry Allen. His career at MSU is likely over after Saturday's game with MSU likely not to renew his contract. He is a great coach and person. Good luck to you TA! (You're more than welcome to come back to UNI in some fashion
)
The Bears...they just don't stand a chance. The Panther Roller Coaster is heading full blast down a hill and obliterating everything in it's path. For this Panther team, the similarities are there to the magical 2005 Cardiac Cats. The Panthers have been quoted by a few in the media to being possibly the best team in the Valley right now and and quite possibly, the country. The moons are realigning, and this weekend we can add to the storybook of this senior class. So...on to the game.
MSU, while improved from years past, just isn't that good. Dual Threat QB Kierra Harris returns, but outside of him, the Bears really struggle. They use Harris and RB Crowder the most and have been avg. 179 yards a game on the ground.
Downfall -rush defense...they give up 179 yards rushing on the ground. Another downfall - penalties. The Bears have been flagged 70 times so far this season (6.4 a game) for 58.5 yards a game. (UNI in comparison has been flagged 68 times for 50 yards a game...i wonder how many of those are offsides on X-man?)
On defense they are +10 on turnover margin (as is UNI).
MSU Qbs have been sack 25 times so far this season. We should be able to add to that total..I'm guessing add on 5
Harris has passed for 19 TDs to his 8 INTs but has only completed 53% of his throws. He has a shade over 1800 yards on the season.
When put into 3rd down situations they only succeed 31% of the time and give up 40%.
On paper..they seem decent. After watching some of their games and highlights. I just don't us being overpowered by them. They do do a good job of controlling the clock but when you can't get first downs...it will be hard to accomplish that.
Panthers should roll in this one handily. Thank you seniors. 42-10.
