It is time to start talking about the Panthers vs the Flying Saluki Dogs that eat Children!
Now that we all know what a Saluki is we can discuss the game. First let me go on the record as saying 35-21 Panthers!!!!
Second, I had the liberty last evening (Tuesday) to join the Panthers for practice. I can tell you, I have never seen Coach Farley more jacked up for a game than he is this one. I know due to the nature of practice last night. Due to our Athletic Department pimping out our dome to High Schools the Panthers were forced to practice outdoors last night. It was quite a sight, the Division I National Title contending Northern Iowa Panthers practicing in the pitch dark infront of headlights from cargo vans. Yes, about 5:00 coach Farley decided to run practice a little long and have all of the trainers go get the Grey vans that the trainers use to light up the practice field. I might add that in tradition Farley fashion the defense had three vans, the offense had one. I was watching Eric Sanders complete 60 yard passes to Johnny Gray in the middle of the night sky. The funny thing was that they were making it look easy. They ran a punt session at the end of practice in front of said lights. Things were going off without a hitch. Of course there were your occasional jokes about the situation but nothing I will share here. Needless to say this football team is as focused as I have ever see it. With this mentality and fighting this adversity they could be unstoppable. Tonight the Panthers will not have to worry as they are being bussed to Wartburg tonight to practice under the lights.
One last thing, prior to contrary belief Jegbomb will not be attending this game on Saturday as he will be following his school Southeast Polk to the Dome to take on the mighty Valley Tigers! Go Rams!!!!
