  • Last loss to DII?

    I can't remember ever losing to a DII team. When's the last time it happened?

    Probably when UNI was a DII school.

            we were that bad... our defensive was like a wet paper bag. we couldn't hold anything. how many 3rd and longs do we need?? the crowd got 2 false starts, and defense continued to give up passing yards on 3rd and long. learn to tackle fellas.

              Our defense couldn't hold their run and we couldn't stop them in four, especially when they had penalties that made it 3-15.

                The last time we lost to a D2 was Mankato State -- the next weekend we went and beat Iowa State.
                "...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."

                  The other big win for DII today was Chadron State, scoring 25 more points than Colorado did against Montana State, beat the Bobcats at Bozeman 35-24. I read Chadron State's guarantee was $40k, which they're using to pay for new uniforms.

                  Now we know how the D-1 teams losing to I-AA teams feel, but they'll bounce back. Everybody has bad games. Look at how close Iowa came to losing against a terrible Syracuse team.

                    Hopefully we can pull the ISU upset off again...after we rebound with a win against SDS.

                      The thought of what ISU's offense will do to us scares the crap outta me.

                        The thought of what my old flag football offense would do against our defense is even scarier.... This defense takes some of the worst angles and tackles worse than a poor high school team. I was skeptical after the Drake game, now I'm flat out serious that they are playing TERRIBLE! Seriously, the angles that our secondary was taking was some of THE worst I have EVER seen...

                          now is not the time

                          this was a very disappointing loss to say the least total colapse unfortunatley as bad as our defense was i am also disappointed in our offense. If could think of a strength before the season I would say it was our o-line and our secondary. Today that was not the case. Now that said we panther fans need to circle the wagons, as was said by a player in the post game interview. I am confidant we will play better and I have faith in our coaching staff. It was a very bad game true, but it was also just the second game of the season the coaching staff will review the tape and correct what needs to be corrected replace what needs to be replaced. Lets let this game go and get behind our panthers we have a lot of football left and we need the dome rocking all year long. I for one will be behind the guys thick or thin, i am sure we'll right the ship. GO PANTHERS!!!! Keep your heads up guys.

                            more of the crowd seemed to stick around to the end for this one, compared to many other games. (unfortunately, that is b/c alot of those games, we have a healthy lead by the end of 2nd or 3rd qtr....)

                              Yeah, not exactly the way you want to go about getting fans to stick around.
