Re: Future Schedules

I know for a fact that the UNI band took five buses to get to Iowa City, to transport 260 kids - the largest band numbers in history.

The buses were roughly $750 each. THE BAND PAID for the entire trip to Iowa City, including buses, two meals, etc - there were no funds from the athletic department. The day started at 8:45am and they returned to campus around 9pm.

The band pays their own transportation/meals to ISU football games as well.

I also know for a fact that when the U of Iowa band travels with the team, the expenses are covered by the Big ten network.

Good info, thanks for sharing.

Re: Future Schedules

I will assume based upon it being your first post that you logged on specifically for that reason, thus your numbers must be accurate. Thank you for sharing. It does shed some much needed light on the subject. That seems pretty cheap for a 48 passenger bus for 12 hours. Does the company receive any sort of gift in kind acknoledgement through UNI for offering those low rates?

Seems odd that Iowa pays for their band to travel. Guess you can do that when you have drones of fans who went to Kirkwood Community College donating 10% of their salary to the AD.

The Iowa Marching Band is financed and controlled by the athletic department. The UNI Marching Band is controlled by the music department. I did not know where travel expenses came from, but if from music, then financed by music as well as controlled. BTW the Iowa band was playing pretty close to the Hawks arriving at the LOS. Didn't seem that loud though. Amazing how 13,000 and a band in the Dome sounds louder that 70,000+ and two bands outside.

As opposed to offensive linemen and over 50% of fans?

News!!

My cousin Marcus Horne arrives on campus next semester. He's enrolling at Northern Iowa from Michigan State, 4 years of eligibility left! Here's the kids high school highlight links http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SvkY4VLYc9U http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sJqu7BsyyTc. We offered him out of high school last year before he committed to the Spartans. The greyshirt ended up not working out. I think it's a great fit, him and David Johnson. Go Panthers!

@TroyDannenUNIAD: At Iowa State, home vs Drake and at Northern Colorado in 2013. Calendar allows a 12th game and we will take advantage of it

I definitely like our chances to return to the playoffs next year, especially with the playoffs expanding to 24 teams. We have a good shot at winning at least two non-conference games, possibly 3 wins depending on if we find a 12th game and who the opponent is. We will have a lot of experience back next year considering all the new faces we have seen play this season. The true freshman who were called upon to play immediately due to injuries will benefit from offseason workouts and time spent in the weightroom. When you add that plus the experience of actually having played in game situations and growing accustomed to game speed, I expect better things in 2013.

How long has it been since we had a game with Drake at home? Glad to see them coming here for once.

Kaboom.

Re: Future Schedules

Honestly Drake should be an every year home and home for us. Most years easy D1 win, 2 hour drive, tons of UNI alum in DSM, MVC-mate....


Just my thoughts on it.

It would be great for us, but Drake will never agree to that...

I know...which sucks....

Re: Future Schedules

I just looked and Drake played at the UNI Dome in 2005 and we played in DM in 2006 and 2007. How does that happen? I find it hard to believe that we did a 2 for 1 with them.
