A Little What If...

[BCPanther]

Remember a cyear or so ago when the Dome finished second in balloting to host the National Champioship Game? What would the hysteria be if the game was in our own back yard? The game would be a sellout already and there would be around 13000 UNI fans making the most noise any of us have ever heard.

Man, I can only Imagine!!!

I'm not kidding, the roof would blow off that place. You wouldn't be able to hear the ESPN announcers.

Wasn't this very possibility one of the reasons CF wasn't selected? I'm sure it had to cross someone's mind.

If that was a reason it is an outrage. They had no problem giving all those games to Huntington, WV when Marshall was going all the time. And I think that even if UNI wasn't playing the Dome would sell out every year. That is not the case in Chattanooga!!

Stop it you guys!!! The thought of something like this is making me shake with excitement and its not even a reality!!

Does anyone know if they will look for a new place in 2006? According the Ncaasports.com the site is TBD.

Even if UNI does not make it next year, I think having it at the Dome would be something special.

I think they rebid every few years. Finishing so close this time, I'd imagine UNI will bid again at the next opportunity.

It almost sounds too good to be true. Therefore I dont think its possible. However, at 3-3 I didnt think the playoffs were possible. On Selection Sunday I didnt think the NC was possible and then at 37-29... I'll admit I had some pretty big doubts.

So either the answer is I need to start having a little more faith or I need to keep being a semi-pessimist so that I don't jinx it!!

So much for dreaming...

INDIANAPOLIS--- The Division I-AA Football Championship will continue in Chattanooga, Tenn., through 2007, with an option for a third year in 2008, under the terms of a new contract agreement, according to Roachel Laney, chair of the Division I-AA Football Committee.

Waterloo/Cedar Falls need to bid again. But the two cities need to get behind an event like this. The average Joe in W'loo and CF would need to get excited about this event being in the community. It would bring an estimated $6,000,000 to the community over one weekend. WOW! Business owners?
