  • Football Media Day

    Just a reminder that media day is this morning in the UNI-Dome... so be lookin for some extra coverage on the news and in the papers the next couple of days
    "...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."

      Pretty sure the new uniforms will be worn by the team since their team picture is getting taken at 10 a.m. as well as a bunch of other shots. After the team photo is done at 10, the media will be able to talk to the players so there should be stuff out as soon as tonight on the news.

          Just came from Media Day. Farley is very upbeat but cautious in his optimism.
          He is excited about the talent coming back and after just one practice, the new recruits. He said that it all comes down to chemistry. He reminded all that we were 4-3 last year before it started to come together. He commented on the schedule, 5 games before we even leave the state, but we have to go to YSU, and SIU.

          Whitney Lewis the USC transfer is wearing number 20. Farley said he will be used at running back which is how he is currently listed.

          As to uniforms, we are staying with the black pants at home. New purple jersey's with bold white letters. "Panthers" on the front. Numbers also on the shoulders.

          Lots of media attended.

          BAP will have more later as I had to leave following Farley's briefing.

          PR
          You don't break out the Purple and Gold on game days or look for special gifts and gadgets bearing the colors because you want to be seen among the loyal. Purple and Gold aren't colors you see---they're colors you feel. They run through your veins with a continuous roar.

            The uniforms won't be what was originally planned... they'll have the purple pants on the road and the black pants at home. There are no stripes down the side... I think Coach might have gotten a little superstitious about changing too much. Didn't get to see the helmets since none of the guys were wearing them.

            The event was well attended, like PR said. The USC kid is big -- but he's increasingly improving on getting into shape. Also saw Terrell Allen, the wide receiver transfer from Pitt... he looks just like Benny Sapp from the back when Sapp still had his dreads.

            Nothing much else to report -- everyone's upbeat. Corey Lewis responded to a question about how it feels to be the hunted this season, and he said it's just giving everyone more motivation to prove that #1 is exactly where we belong.

            It just made me more excited... if that's possible!

                I wasn't able to take pics -- but the Courier usually posts pictures they took up on the Courier site... it usually doesn't take them very long.

                For what it's worth... I'll be at practice later today and quite a bit over the next couple of weeks -- so i'll try to take pics when I can and post them.

                  Oh, and let me make this perfectly clear to you people: you go to UNI, NOT IOWA. The Hawkeyes and their fans do not give a crap if you remain "true to them" or some stupid self-fulfulling bullcrap like that.-OTP

                    PLEASE let that be true! Is anyone talking about it on Cotlar, Miller, Marty and Miller?

                      Farley is on Cotler and company tomorrow morning.

                      I don't think John Miller even knows that UNI is in the state of Iowa.

                        The Register has a short interview with Sanders/ article about the team this afternoon, and says that there will be more coverage tomorrow

                          He'll be getting an email soon from me. I think its time the Panther fans in Des Moines start getting more active on his show. Deace responded well when we started to call him and the UNI coverage increased. I think Miller will too.

                            I heard one of the Des Moines news station reporters at media day telling Eric Sanders how much they appreciate UNI fans because we're so good at emailing them and letting them know how much we appreciate their coverage on the Panthers. She said "UNI fans are the only fans that say thank you!"

                              Check out the courier website (www.wcfcourier.com) and go to the Panther Mania section -- they have podcasts up with the entire Farley press conference and some other player interviews. Pretty good stuff... even though they did slip up and named Jordan Lacy as Curtis Cooper.
