    Wow. It was an incredible trip, a unique and fantastic opportunity for Panther fans, and a winnable game.

    For an FCS football program that plays games in Vermillion, Macomb, Youngstown, Fargo, and Terre Haute, this is a good thing.

      Just ensure we have the week off after the game. Or play Drake.

        I would say make sure that this is the 1st game of the year then follow it up with a Drake game would be a good idea, I know we don't always have control of the bye week but it would be nice to be able to play 4 or 5 games before the bye.

          Maybe that's why it won't work in '17?? Probably learned a lot from the trip this past year as far as scheduling. Great trip, though. Have to believe it put us on some recruiting maps. And if you can start talking about another potential trip in a few years, that can't hurt with future recruits.

              I'm sure the trip was neat for the players and hundred fans. With the conference we okay in, and the financial challenges we face I just don't think we should be playing FBS teams on the road for no financial benefit.

              Would we have been seeded last had we pasted someone at home instead of losing at Hawaii? I think so.

                You underestimate how hard is to get someone to paste at home.

                  probably a fair point.

                    You'd think it would be easy to pay Drake, but they hate people realizing we aren't on the same level, and other Pioneer teams want H/H.

                      2 for 1 with Drake on a continuous basis.

                        In addition, Drake still holds the all-time series edge with us. Don't think that their ego plays a little into whether their willing to play us as well.

                          I agree. I don't think they have been willing to do that. I think Troy and Mark have wanted to do this for 5 years.

                            A home and home with drake is just as good. UNI fans take over that stadium and turn it into a Des Moines area panther home game. We ought to have the scholarship club putting in a tailgate and recruiting that area hard...

                            If computers ruled college basketball the way they do football, we'd have skipped all this March Madness monotony and just waited a month for the Kansas-Kentucky title game. And watched Northern Iowa play Cornell in the Poulan Weedeater Bowl. ~ Dwight Perry The Seattle Times

                              I'd only agree to a home/home if we get a portion of the gate when we play at Drake.

                                A game in Des Moines is not a bad thing at all, short trip, easy game, and pro Panther crowd, I say home and home is fine with them.

                                Plus they count as a D1 game.
