@CoachMarkFarley: Great year for all access @unifootball. . Right Team, Right Time.

Am I reading into this tweet too much or are we getting an All Access show for football?

If so, that would be AMAZING.

Saw that tweet also and I too thought he was referring to an All Access show, similar to UNI basketball. That would take the cake. This would be a great team to follow throughout the season.

Saw the same tweet and have been anxious for some kind of announcement ever since. Would be awesome.

Re: 2016 Season outlook-&-100 days countdown

I was talking to the mom of one of the guys who did the first all access show and she said that her son was told that if the basketball went well, Coach Farley really wanted to do it as well, and possibly do a cycle of football and basketball every other year.
