  • Des Moines Register

    The Des Moines Register had incredible coverage today! Also, KCCI has done a good job with updates at 6 and 10. They actually have a reporter down there to cover the Panthers. I have not watched Channel 13 to see what Murphy and Fales have had to say.

    Much credit to the three eastern stations as well. KWWL has someone there, obviously, and has done a great job, usually with a 'news' story about the team as well as 'sports' story or two each day.

    I saw KCRG had a reporter in the nooga yesterday as well, and I think KGAN has someone down there too. Great to see everyone jumping on board with this team, maybe now it won't be like pulling teeth to get similar coverage next year.

      Murphy has run stories from KWWL, i believe. They are always after the latest Hawkeye football news.

      UNI is always the lead story on KCCI.

        Normally, I'd complain about Keeler's column a little bit, but I'm in too good of a mood for that today! My hat is off to the Register, they really did an amazing job today, first rate coverage all the way!

          The Register got it right today, and it was nice to see - very striking and very much deserved. Hope the Panthers nail it tonight!

            The Register's pre-game coverage on Friday was good, except for Keeler's article which was a complete whiff. UNI is playing in the 1-AA national championship so he writes about the quarterback who lives in Idaho who played on a junior college team that won a championship 20 years ago? There's 50 or 60 good stories related to UNI's football team and this is what he comes up with? His article on Saturday was decent.

              I agree - Saturdays article was probably the best one I have read by Keeler...

                Was that because of a certain quote from a certain PN member?
                If computers ruled college basketball the way they do football, we'd have skipped all this March Madness monotony and just waited a month for the Kansas-Kentucky title game. And watched Northern Iowa play Cornell in the Poulan Weedeater Bowl. ~ Dwight Perry The Seattle Times

                    Ahem....though she was not quoted directly, I do believe it was the wife who got the opportunity for the "certain quote" to even happen!

                      That would be TRUE!

                        I was in Chattanooga for the game and as we were walking around the pavillion area the KCCI reporter asked us if we would like to be on the news. Of course we gladly accepted his request. So after he did his introduction he came over to the group of Panther fans and asked us who was going to win the game and we all yelled the Panthers!!! Then we started the UNI chant as he signed off. It was pretty exciting, but we did have to tape it twice!
                        Coach Whisenhunt 1/18/09. "There was never any complaints about not being named the starter, all he wanted was an opportunity and he took advantage of it. Kurt is probably one of the greatest individuals you'll ever meet. Kurt worked hard on a lot of things that a lot of times older quarterbacks aren't willing to do. That's a credit to his humility and his competitive drive, and the reason that we are here today in great part is what Kurt Warner has done for us."
