  • Stories from Friday night in Cedar Falls?

    I just took a look at an Appy fan's photo album from their game on Saturday. Seeing the field rush and the parading of the Field Goal posts down the street and dumping them into the river literally sent shivers thru me. It just looked so much fun!!

    This may be somewhere on the board already but was wondering what it was like in the dorms, on the Hill, at Peppers, etc on Friday night???

    Up here in Minny we had an apartment-full of UNI-grads, Iowa and ISU and ALL pulling for the Panthers in the end (though, I must admit that the Hawkeye fans were a little less enthusiastic having just had to suffer defeat to the Clones in B-ball earlier that night). We chanted "Lets Go Panthers" out in our parking lot and started it up again at the bar near our house. The other patrons at the bar had no clue what we were doing but it was just fun to explain to people. And sure enough, many of them said, "Oh yeah, we watched the game here, what a game!!" I hope that my experience pales in comparison to the euphoria in CF, so I'm hoping to hear some stories!!

    I was talking to one of my best friends, who lives up in the twin cities. She was out for happy hour friday night, and was talking to some guy. After a short while, she realizes that he doesn't have a Vikings jersey on, but a UNI jersey! Turns out he's roommates with a guy we went to UNI with, was a UNI grad himself, and had a whole table of UNI alumni near by. She ended up watching the game back at their place. A little slice of home, unexpected in the middle of Minneapolis. GREAT to see UNI getting so much love in so many places!

      So, I'm reading this story thinking, "Man this sounds familiar"... then I realize... YOU WERE TALKING ABOUT ME!!!!

      Turns out your friend and I are on a broomball team together up here in Minny!!! The broomball team is kind of a mix and match of friends and no one really knew eachother. So Friday night we had a happy hour to meet everyone and, lo and behold, there was your friend!! Such a small world.

      We enjoyed having her back at our apartment. As I said, about 10 of us watched the game and had a great time.

      If your friend mentioned that said-Jersey wearer got really drunk by the end of the night... YOUR FRIEND WAS LYING!!!
