Enough of the tin foil hats - lets all finally admit that women's soccer is was stirs drink in the sports world.

Don't really care about winning. If Dunne played and slung the ball all over the place and showed he can make read progressions and hit moving targets a loss would be worth it. Something to build on.

Agreed completely on this one. EWU very well may end up in the national title game this year. They have no defense, but their offense is as good as it gets. Maybe the fact they have no defense would be a great reason to throw Dunne out there. Every single report I've heard about Dunne has been fantastic. In my mind this system (which we have yet to see, to be fair) needs a slinger QB. Poor OL play and needing a mobile QB to avoid it? Maybe having a QB that can read a route and move to his second route quick enough to get the ball out would negate that. Or, maybe the OL play would improve knowing the guy behind them isn't going to be 8 steps outside of the pocket within 1.5 seconds of the snap.

Normally I like Marty and Miller but they had Hawk Talk today at five. People that have financial ties to schools and teams can't tell it like it is, I don't want to listen to a 60 minute commercial for Uni.

No fault of Rima's, his hands were obviously tied and his soccer/women's basketball talk says more about the state of the football program than anything.

Also agree with this. I don't blame Gary. It's likely he was informed to avoid anything negative about the program, and the schedule release today was a perfect way out of it.


I was hoping that some time between Saturday night someone would have the guts to ask Farley something other than a soft toss question, but I forgot none of the media around here dare question Farley. Not just because you don't question Farley, but they'd likely find it very difficult to continue being asked back as media from the athletic department.

Re: Quarterback 2015??

I have listened to Rima for years...as most of you have. He is the perfect example of a "homer" in my opinion...many times worse than Gary Dolphin. Before writing this I tried to remember even the last time Rima ever asked anything other than a soft question to anyone...any coach for any sport at UNI. Admittedly he is the "voice of the Panthers" but come on. After a lousy performance in Ames last Saturday, Rima should put himself in a position to ask the questions the listener would ask if they were in a position to do so. Something like "...Coach Farley, for most of the game on both sides of the ball, our guys looked like crap. You need to get this turned around big time in less than a week getting ready for Eastern Washington. How are you going to do that?" And that should have been Rima's theme for Tuesday's program and for most of this week...not leading with basketball schedules and volleyball notes.
Perhaps Rima hopes the football season gets over quickly and we get into the two REAL sports at UNI that bring the school most if not all of its sports reputation.

He's not a reporter. Grilling coaches is not his job.

Re: Quarterback 2015??

Sports at UNI dies without football IMO. It is every bit as important as basketball.

If you want to talk about the sport that draws the most alums to campus it is football.

Do oh think the PSC wants to raise funds with a bad football team?

Basketball is tied to the locals the out of towners don't come on weekdays in th winter. Basketball would draw 2000 a game if they are lucky if the winning stops. They were as high as ever last season and it took $10 tickets to get decent crowds.

I have been on three campus tours in the past few years and they all pointed out which dorm Kurt Warner lived in. Too many nfl players to count.

More UNI people were in jack trice Saturday than go to a home basketball gam when they are ranked in the top ten.

Football is very important.

I didn't mean to imply it was Gary's doing to ask Farley a hard question, my apologies if I implied that. I just want someone to actually ask a hard question to make Farley decide if he wants to weasel out with cliches or actually own up to it.

Re: Quarterback 2015??

Maybe someone will do that on the Thursday coach's show. 6:00 PM at Old Chicago. Slim chance, but a chance.

Re: Quarterback 2015??

I can understand how you're bummed that he didn't choose to spend the whole hour being all doom and gloom (like this board has been).

Football is what sells, especially this time of year. You can't blame R&B and others for wanting some additional perspective on the offensive mess. I would too if I was able to listen in.

Sorry, I took it off the unipanthers.com website. Apparently a page with old info still exists.

You can also listen to podcasts of previous shows on the website:
www.onpressrow.com. In fact, those of you chirping on here about Rima avoiding any talk of the football game on the Tuesday show are correct but if you listen to the podcast of the Monday show, you will hear him discuss both bad and good about the team's performance at ISU.

Re: Quarterback 2015??

Wait, doesn't Rima know that if we don't work on Monday he isn't suppose to show up and talk about everything we want to talk about of Tuesday?

I'm a couple days late on some of the QB talk, but if we go back to SK's freshman year we were all stoaked knowing he was here for all 4 years. He's started more games against FBS teams than any other QB in UNI history. When you look down on his record, keep that in mind. We all know that he's not the same player pre vs post NDSU injury, but we don't know if that's the same for this year yet. My hope is that he can get his chance to go out on top. Dunne appears to be the future, but keep in mind the true freshman from Chicago will probably be challenging him for PT in future years and let's be honest, it could be like a similar competition as it has been since Rennie was on campus (or even Pat Grace...with Davis being a pure QB and Grace a dual threat of sorts). Why would it be any different going forward?
