    Getting the Jones for football....

    Well, I know that 99.99% of the readers here in PantherNation are preparing themselves for incomplete game coverage of March Madness on CBS, but I was just wondering if any one else is getting the jones for football?

    Today I began listening to last season's archives, in order. I have 176 days to go until live play comes back. The Spring Game is near, but a pale fix compared to a Rima "Oh baby!" against Western Illinois or Western Kentucky. Winter is not even over, and already I long for October Saturdays....

    Oh well...just waxing philosophic. Whilst everyone watches our boys play with that odd little orange round ball, I need my football fix. I want to see the schedule (yes, I know it's being mused about in another thread.) I want to see the new uniforms (again, another thread.)

    Sorry to bug ya. Just had to get it off my chest and see if anyone else was in the same boat. I'll go back in my hole now.

    I have the jones for football year-round so you're not alone. Just thought I'd throw out my support to you



    But in the meantime... Go Panther hoops squad!
    "...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."

      Watched the Texas State game last week and still felt the same on Tharp's INT to end it.
      Bring it on!

        Amen Brother! Football is top of mind with me right now as well!! There seemed to be A LOT less whining on this site during football season. Obviously there are alot more basketball experts than football experts here. Which is a good thing. Let's get this over with.
        **Go ** Panthers** and Buckeyes**!!

          I guess I'm one of those rare people who can be a big jerk about both...

              And I predict someone gets mad because of the Iowa Hawkeyes.

                "White Castle?" "more like Black Castle..."

                      Just remember when fall comes around, there are no coaching decisions which can be logically questioned. EVER.

                      Oh, and leave if you don't like it.

                        Wow...this thread really took off, considering we're days away from another NCAA Tourney birth. I would suggest passing the time by selecting UNI as your team on NCAA Football 2005 for X-Box. Farley's animated likeness is a little overweight compared to the real life version.

                            Eh, both our major parties are guilty of that these days, one just has the keys to the offical kingdom. Give it a few years, the other party will be back in power and they'll do the same thing.

                            Unfortunately, that attitude continues in many ways on this site, at specific times by specific persons, as well.

                            I'm too excited about Baseball to worry about football yet. By April 10th, when the Cubs are eliminated, I'll be ready again.

                              Hell yeah. I love football!

                              Though I have it on authority that Gary likes basketball better. He likes the pace of a couple of games a week. I just like football better. I'm also dating a football freak, so when he's happy, I'm happy. Since the season is over, for some reason he's not getting the NFL Network anymore (stupid DirecTV!) so he's not nearly as happy as he could be...
