News..........I tried calling you from Chatty. A lady answered and wanted to know to whom should she direct the call? Well.........Newsbreaker didn't cut any ice, so we concluded I called a wrong number. Took the number back to the room and checked it against the e-mail..............same number. Conclusion: I tried..............

I would have told you that the atmosphere was just electric. It was what you would expect for a National Championship Game. The team and the fans were just super............UNI put it's best foot forward!!!!

Yeah............I'm real proud to be a Panther!!

I can only hope that this team knows what they have done for the Panthers as far as this state, I think we have turned a corner, never have I seen so much pro UNI, so much coverage yea there is allot of bandwagon fans but if there is 5000 bandwagon fans and we get 1000 that will stay panther fans then hey we are getting there, I think allot of people saw that UNI has great athletics and will follow the BB team and next years FB team closer, and as coach farley said tonight we will go get that trophy and it sure wont be 20 years from now I have never been prouder to be a Panther fan !!

GO PANTHERS

Not sure what happened there, we did have a few phone issues on friday, VERY heavly local call volume in preperation of the game, so a few calls got screwed up. Ended up with a FANTASIC interview with our own Puple Reign, who provided some great insight and color of the local atmosphere at the game. I owe a large debt of gratitude for that one! FWIW, I had several calls after that 'interview' ran talking about how good it was.

I appreciate the effort. While the outcome was very disappointing, the local passion for UNI football that existed last week was unlike anything I've ever seen, for any school, in this area!

Winder...........ran into a lot of people I knew from back here.........it was just great! Cap'n picked Mrs. Oldcat & Oldcat up at the airport. He was a little under the weather. Too much pregame activity the night before!! The team played well, the marching band was outstanding and the fans standing for the whole game..........that was just plain fantastic!!!! It was a night I'll never forget.
