The UNI schedule has been updated with more television coverage. The UNI/YSU game has been announced as the GFC Game of the Week.
It will be carried on KFXA. We need to wait a little, but my guess is that we might have to email KDSM to see if they will pick up the game also.
The Lord reigns, let the earth be glad; let the distant shores rejoice, clouds and thick darkness surround Him; righteousness and justice are the foundation of His throne. Fire goes before Him, and consumes his foes on every side; His lightning lights up the world; the earth sees and trembles; the mountains melt like wax before the Lord of all the earth. The heavens proclaim His righteousness and all peoples will see His glory.

Very good point, AC. I remember back in the day, when we had to practice against Farley, Ed Grimes, Jeff Bealles, et al, it made us better and we were prepared for the season. The offense is always the slowest to come around, pre-season, and we had pretty good one back then - Mike Smith, Mark Hanssen, Carl Boyd, Brian Baker, etc., etc.

I notice on the schedule there is a special promotion for every home game and for the Illinois State game it says "Camp Day". I dont know what "camp day" is, but shouldnt senior day take presidence?Sincerely,

The Gateway's tv package has been announced. UNI now has 4 games on television (3 on KFXA/KDSM)---2 road, 1 home. Also, UNI plays at SIU on CSTV (tape delayed). I'm hoping that SIU game gets fed back to Iowa on some sort of tv station.The Lord reigns, let the earth be glad; let the distant shores rejoice, clouds and thick darkness surround Him; righteousness and justice are the foundation of His throne. Fire goes before Him, and consumes his foes on every side; His lightning lights up the world; the earth sees and trembles; the mountains melt like wax before the Lord of all the earth. The heavens proclaim His righteousness and all peoples will see His glory.

I have now added the link to the SIU/UNI game which will air via the internet live, in addition to tape delayed on CSTV. To view the game you will have to pay $9.95, but at least you can watch it live.The Lord reigns, let the earth be glad; let the distant shores rejoice, clouds and thick darkness surround Him; righteousness and justice are the foundation of His throne.

I hate to be an "I told you so", so I'll just say, I warned you guys about something like this.Originally posted by Herdman View PostI know this post is going to come way too early for anyone to remember it come the football season, but here it goes anyway.
First off, I want to say that I have been promoting this idea for a long time. It would be great for UNI to play their old NCC mates in NDSU, SDSU and now UND; and USD when they move up to D1-AA too. I am not for UNI leaving the Gateway and getting into a conference with these guys, but think it would be a great for UNI to schedule 4 in-region, D1-AA teams on a regular basis. SDSU has been playing pretty good ball and NDSU has been playing very good football since making the jump from D2.
NDSU went to Carbondale last year and only lost 9-6. Many in green and yellow, and MplsBison and FargoBison can back this up, but many NDSU fans actually claim the Bison to already be a D1-AA "power" and are looking to make the play-offs in their first year of eligibility. You can't really blame them having 11 D2 NC and +.500 seasons every year since moving up from D2 in the pocket. But I digress.
Back to the point of this post: UNI should be wery of UND. The Fighting Sioux will come to Cedar Falls with one thing in mind and that will be to knock off one of the highest rated D1-AA football teams in the region. Not just test the D1-AA football water, but to make a point. That they can play and win at this level now.
This would be a great recruiting pitch for them since they will be going up against UNI, NDSU and SDSU from this point forward. Not that "we played them", but that "we beat them at their place".
On a side note, if UND can come to CF and win, just think what the Fighting Sioux Nation can hold over their Bison bretheren until the Wooden Nickel rivalry heats up again? (You guys lost at SoIL, but we beat the the D1-AA Runner-up at their house.) I don't know how many of you guys are familiar with the LOVE shared by these to programs, but the rivalry between UNI and say SoIL has nothing on these two programs.
Fighting Sioux fans always travel very well and this game is high on their travel plans this year. I know they are only D2 as many of you have said before in this thread, but these guy actually believe that they can compete with any D1-AA level program and win - now.
They believe their 1st and some of their 2nd teamers are just as good as UNI's 1st and 2nd teamers and can play down for down with you and keep the game close and then you never know what can happen in close game.
They also believe that their play-off experience will help them and they are not affraid of playing in a dome, they play in one too.
Keep in mind, the Panthers have lost a good number of starters off last years team. Don't take this the wrong way. I want UNI to pound any Dakota team they play. Any former NCC member for that matter. But it appears that many UNI fans have been away from those ties for far too long or are not even aware there was a relationship at one time.
Well, NCC fans have not forgotten that UNI was a charter member and would love to get back at the Panthers.
IMO, many are jealous that the UNI adminstration had the foresight to move up when the chance was presented. Now they are making the move and want to use UNI as a stepping off point.
Do I tkink UNI will win? Absolutley! Do I think UND could win? Anything is possible. Just don't let it happen. Pound these guys every chance you get. Do not take them lightly and do not let them have one moments peace on the field of play.
That being said, UND fans are pretty cool before and after the games, but during agmes they'll want your heart just like any good team or fans should. NDSU, that's another story. They talk smack like they're freaken Notre Dame or Miami. OOO, they beat Wisconsin.
Go Panthers!
Farley's comments after the game kind of made it sound like the players might not have taken UND as seriously as they should have. Maybe they'll be looking at SDSU a little differantly now even after they got beat at home by
D3 UW-LaCrosse.Go Panthers!

I was thinking about Herdman's prediction all night long. Very prophetic sir and my hats off to your guys. They were poised all night long. They looked like they were used to doing exactly what they did and they did it in a respectful manner. It was nice to see. Good luck to you the rest of the way! Don't let your guys have a letdown next week...ok?"10% of life is what happens to you, 90% is how you react to what happens."

Thanks, but I am not a Sioux fan. Just an old timer football guy. UND open their home schedule with NSIC, D2's 24th ranked Winona State Warriors. Scholarship disparity is UND 36 to WSU's 24. WSU has played them tough in the past, but has never beaten them. Should be about a 31-7 game.Originally posted by panther2317 View PostI was thinking about Herdman's prediction all night long.

Good luck to both UNI and UND as their play in conference is what will determine each of their futures and not this past week's game so much.Go Panthers!

I have now added the links to where there are online video feeds for those out of the area, or if the game is not on live in Iowa. Good news is that all but one game is on tv or online...that game is Saturday vs. Indiana State. I couldn't even find an audio link on their website.
All the tv games have been updated too.The Lord reigns, let the earth be glad; let the distant shores rejoice, clouds and thick darkness surround Him; righteousness and justice are the foundation of His throne. Fire goes before Him, and consumes his foes on every side; His lightning lights up the world; the earth sees and trembles; the mountains melt like wax before the Lord of all the earth.

Note that not all of the online games are free of charge...actually the away games are not (that I know of).The Lord reigns, let the earth be glad; let the distant shores rejoice, clouds and thick darkness surround Him; righteousness and justice are the foundation of His throne.
