    Is the whole team going to Chatty?

    I know the NCAA only pays for a limited # of players making the trip, and since the Band and Cheerleaders are getting to go, I wondered if they are paying for the "non-traveling" players to be able to go as well. What an opportunity for these players to be able to experience the National Championship!!

    And no offense, but I think these guys should go before the "non football" entourage. These guys are the ones still working their a$$es off at practice getting the "traveling" players ready for the game. What better reward for these players then to be able to go and experience this historic game.

    Agree, non-traveling players deserve to go. They make it happen in practice.

      They will get to go but probably be bussed there later in the week, as well as the cheerleaders and band members.
      "...the Northern Iowa men's basketball team reached the ultimate highs before hitting a devastating low. Unexpected success, followed by unimaginable failure. And they owned it -- all of it -- for the world to see. Like men. Like leaders. Like champions -- in a way no tournament bracket could ever define."

        The "non" traveling members of the team should be there for practice on Wednesday, that is techinically a "Thursday" practice and you can't have a true Thursday practice with out your scout teams. The University should be bending over backwards to help our football team win this game, I don't care if you have to keep half the freaking band at home so you can afford to fly down your scout teamers!

        "White Castle?" "more like Black Castle..."

        You stay classy Redbirds.

          Well said! I whole-heartedly agree. The band and cheerleaders do not directly help us win these games. The scout team guys do. Should we not have cheerleaders and a band at the game? No. But we need to do anything possible to win this game. It's taken us 20 years to get here and I personally want to see that streak ended in 5 days!

            I think all players will be making the trip.

              I would gladly give up my seat on a bus so that a non-traveling member of the football team goes. besides, then I could road trip with the capn and see some real scenery, if ya know what i mean.
              Oh, and let me make this perfectly clear to you people: you go to UNI, NOT IOWA. The Hawkeyes and their fans do not give a crap if you remain "true to them" or some stupid self-fulfulling bullcrap like that.-OTP


              What i say are my opinions and mine alone, and not that of anyone associated with me.

                from an article in today's Courier:

                LOAD UP THE BUS: UNI can dress only 56 players for the game, but Farley said the rest of the Panthers will join the team in Chattanooga.

                “They’ll bus down on Thursday so they can be down there for the game,” he said.
