Open challenge to all you Purple People

[jordana33]

This is a big weekend at UNI. I know we are all disappointed that the playoffs most likely aren't happening this year. But, there is one game left. Get out there to the dome and cheer this team on one last time this year. Let's be UNI fans and show how classy we are that we stick with our guys no matter what. Then go next door and lets break in the new building in great Panther fashion. Illinois St. is a very good team and let's try and get some of that DOME magic back to build on for next year.

Wish I could be there.

Unfortunately, I'm going to predict that less than 9,000 will show up with you and the atmosphere will be subdued at best.

if the Panthers struggle and fall behind early on, then the atmosphere WILL be dismal (like in the WIU game).

But if they start off favorably, even with the smaller crowd, the Dome could still get rocking like it was with WKU.

Maybe, just maybe, with the high school football finals in the Dome this weekend, maybe some of those people will hang around to see a college game. Maybe that will bump up attendance......

I'll be there.

I doubt you'll see a few if any

I've been with the Panthers since 1968 and the tide always turns. We have so much to be proud of....Go Panthers!

Plus the opening ceremonies for the Jungle are Saturday at 2 with a meet and greet with some athletes....

although the OSU v. Michigan game is on TV Saturday afternoon... i bet that keeps a lot of people home/somewhere near a tv.

I'll be at the opening of the McLeod center, then head off to the Dome to watch the game and then head to the McLeod Center to watch the volleyball team.

A friend of mine and I are doing the same thing!!

I unfortunately won't be able to make any of the festivities this weekend at UNI as I will be attending my Girlfriend's family Thanksgiving in Minnesota. The Panthers will indeed be in my thoughts though and I may even try to sneek to a computer if possible to try and get scoring updates.

We'll be hitting up the grand opening, the PSC meal before the game, football game, then volleyball game, then men's game on Sunday, and perhaps the women on Monday and wrestling on Tuesday.
