    Going through withdrawal... already

    Okay I just had to post this and let Panther Nation be my "support group." See, I'm having major withdrawal problems... Panther football withdrawal problems

    Since I was obviously in Chatty on Thursday night, I had set my VCR to tape the O.C. (yes, I'm one of those people). Anyways, I just watched the episode and saw a Fox commercial that aired Thursday night showing highlights of Tharp's interception at Texas State -- it was a commercial congratulating the boys on their trip to the National Championship. Upon reading Doug Newhoff's article in the newspaper about how this football team will be missed -- and then seeing that commercial -- I'm already struggling with trying to figure out how I'm going to go the next seven months without being able to watch our Panthers play every Saturday! As someone who was able to make it to every game this season... I am now left to wonder... what am I going to do?!!!! There's been nothing like standing on the sidelines screaming for the Panthers and watching them do everything they did this year. And now it's over... and I need help...!!!

    Thanks for listening to my rant. I just had to get that out. Whew... now I feel better. Sort of...
    "...the Northern Iowa men's basketball team reached the ultimate highs before hitting a devastating low. Unexpected success, followed by unimaginable failure. And they owned it -- all of it -- for the world to see. Like men. Like leaders. Like champions -- in a way no tournament bracket could ever define."

    Happy belated B-day first of all. Is it hard? Of course, but we will always have the memories of what this team did. We move on by supporting women's B-ball, men's B-ball and wrestling. The great thing about UNI athletics are the the top notch student athletes we produce. You have the luxury of going to one the finest universities in the U.S. This university produces champions in so many ways. So we bask in the glory of this team and move to the next sport and support what they do on and off the court/mat. I hope finals went well and enjoy every day you have left at UNI.

    I have never been so proud to say- "I am a Panther"

        UNI has a basketball team? Is that an NCAA sport?

        It's time for I-AA recruiting season and Spring Ball is only a couple of months away!

          I guess if you are really desperate, you can always watch those fun early morning winter conditioning workouts!

                That's the great thing about UNI. After football season, there IS a great basketball season to look forward too. How many of our opponents are going to be playing basketball in March! Yes I know that's a risky statement, but that is the expectation of the fans, players, coaches, etc...
                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

                  ...and let me know when you might have a ticket for the weeknight games and I may come up for a few...I do plan on gettting to a few on the weekends...

                    I really hope many of our new friends from Panther Nation now focus all of their psotive energy into supporting the basketball teams. Come on everyone...let's create an atmosphere that makes it hard to win in the Dome when the hardwood is on the floor too! We need to help push these guys towards March!

                      Uh, this is a football forum and that round orange ball can bounce elsewhere... it is recruiting season for I-AA! Which recruit is high on the list?

                        You might have to buy your way into the Den to see that info

                            Work, no. Go home listen to the archived G. Rima play by plays of this season

                              I really hope (between readings of recruiting from ralph) that the UNI football faithful continue to fill the Dome to support men's basketball. Remember how much the crowd had an effect on opposing teams during the football season...it can be that way again for basketball.

                              Let's start with women's basketball on December 21st vs. Iowa! Let's fill the DOME and send the Hawkettes home with an "L".
