I heard that she is dating Steve Lavin.

Steve Lavin is getting married this week-end to somebody. Kirk Herbstriet was trying fix her up for a date last time she was on the radio here in town before the big show-down for basketball.

Sweet!

The game will most likely be on TV again....and more exposure......

Should be fun to play in Des Moines, but that means we got 42 straight days between home football games. Our second home game isnt until October 13!

I say take the Mississippi State game. We get the payday and they are a program that doesn't have much going for it. It would give us 2 winnable FBS games...

Couldn't agree more. Get 2 BCS paydays, and beat them both down in the process. Love that idea.

Could this be the year Joecool achieves his dream of going to all 11 games in a seaon? Five of the 6 road games are driveable and I believe the bus trip is to the other one- Missouri State?

Madcat: Nice Avatar did you know she is a former GATOR cheerleader and SINGLE.

I had heard this, yes. I've also heard rumors that she's had lots of plastic surgery over the years. But hey, from afar, I'm not complaining!

Last season we sat a row behind the UW bench up at the Gopher/Badger basketball game that she did. It was really rough on us having to watch her walk around. We hardly saw the game!!

I think every college fanbase has a rumor that she is dating someone in town when she comes through. I know last year there were lots of rumors in Madison that she was hooking up with UW football coach Brett Bielema (WHOOPS!!).

Source? Not disputing but it would be nice to have a little more info.

RH on OPR last night. Don't know if it is up on the website yet. UNI bought out UW-L to get the game. We don't know yet if Drake will be returning to the dome next year.

Now that it is in print, it is really official!

[UNI MadCat]

Madcat - as a dual fan of UNI and UW you should know the first names of the coaches of both teams.

Oh my!! I was home for Easter this past weekend and saw an old high school friend, Brad BeXXX and so my fingers were apparently "thinking" ahead of my brain.

Apologies to Brett! I only hope he wasn't reading this!!

CEDAR FALLS, Iowa - The University of Northern Iowa's 2007 football schedule has been finalized by UNI Director of Athletics Rick Hartzell. The Panthers' schedule features five home games, including four of the final six games in the UNI-Dome.



UNI will open the season at home against Minnesota State, Mankato Thurs., Aug. 30. UNI's Homecoming contest will take place Oct. 13 against Southern Illinois. Family Day is set for Oct. 27 when the Panthers take on Youngstown State.



UNI will play five non-conference opponents in the 2007 season including Minnesota State (Mankato), Iowa State, South Dakota State, Drake and Southern Utah.

The Panthers will play only six Gateway Football Conference games for the first time since the 2000 season.



UNI will begin its 2007 season in the UNI-Dome against Minnesota State, Mankato, Thurs., Aug. 30 at 7:05 p.m. The last meeting between the Mavericks and Panthers came in the 2004 season when UNI tallied a 40-0 win over MSU in the UNI-Dome. UNI holds an 11-2-3 lead in the all-time series.



The Panthers then play their next four games on the road. UNI will travel to Iowa State Sept. 8 for a match up with the Cyclones. Iowa State scored a 28-27 win over UNI last season and holds an 18-3-3 all-time lead in the series.



UNI will travel to Brookings, S.D., Sept. 15 to take on future Gateway opponent South Dakota State. The Panthers scored a 27-17 victory over the Jackrabbits last season in the UNI-Dome. UNI leads the all-time series, 23-16-2.



UNI will make its second trip in as many seasons to Des Moines to take on the Drake Bulldogs Sept. 22 at Drake Stadium. Last season, the Panthers and Bulldogs met to open the season with UNI coming away with a 48-7 win in front of 10,107 fans. Drake holds a 25-19-1 lead in the all-time series.



The Panthers' Gateway Football Conference opener will be Sept. 29 at Illinois State.

UNI notched a 38-27 win over Illinois State in 2006, and holds a 15-8 lead in the all-time series between the two schools.



The Panthers will close the season by hosting four of its final six games. UNI will return to the UNI-Dome for the first time since Aug. 30 when it hosts Southern Illinois in the Homecoming contest Oct. 13. Southern Illinois posted a 9-4 record last year and reached the FCS quarterfinals before falling to Montana. UNI will be looking for some revenge after SIU toppled the Panthers last season, 47-23.



UNI will travel to Macomb, Ill., Oct. 20 to take on the Western Illinois Leathernecks. WIU shocked the Panthers last year in the UNI-Dome, 24-13. UNI has a 23-12 lead in the all-time series with WIU.

The Panthers will take to the road for the final time in the 2007 season with a Nov. 3 game at Missouri State. UNI scored a 38-7 win over the Bears last year in the UNI-Dome. The Panthers hold a commanding 22-5 advantage in the all-time series.



UNI will wrap up Gateway play with a Nov. 10 home contest against Indiana State. UNI secured a 34-14 win last season in Terre Haute, Ind. The Panthers hold a 19-4 all-time series leader over the Sycamores.
