    I think the footballs after TDs get thrown into the stands in the southeast corner after every touchdown. The kids over there got lots. M

    they might want to mix that up a little bit.

      First half was tough to watch. We should have scored 44 in the first two quarters.


      Game day execution was rough. TC coming out in the gator was probably due to the John Deere promo, but it was way too early and give him a flag out something.

      did anyone notice that during the bands pregame they added something before the fanfare that leads into the fight song? I thought they were going to play something else.

      The rib eat challenge needs someone on the ground with a microphone. 45 seconds of silence and no idea who the winner is does not make for a good promo. It was blamed on bad walkie talkies which is sad if truem.

      I was glad to get our third string. No reason to get anyone hurt.

        Yes. That was weird.

          Speaking of the band, when did they get a new announcer voice? I mean, it was probably two or three years ago, but when they were at Iowa I was like, huh, that's different.

            I think it was last year.

            The old one took a new position and was no longer able to do it - or something like that.

              Yes, last year was his first year.

                The game was what the game was. We all need to improve. Everything from the center snaps to tailgating and game day experience. The "egress plan" was a failure. Seems that C.F. cops got frustrated and gave up enforcing their plan. Cars were doing u-turns in the Panther Village apartments and going back East. Not too long and they just gave up and let cars go where they wanted.

                  The egress thing pissed me off. The new way makes total sense but too many *******s can't handle change and being slightly inconvenienced. The new plan makes perfect sense and is the most efficient way I can think of to get everything cleared.

                  It's not like we're in Downtown Chicago, if you have to go a way you don't want to, it MIGHT take you an extra three minutes to drive around and get going the way you want. People are the worst.

                    Ugh I get being frustrated with certain things but we might have the laziest fan base on the planet.

                        When's the last time u saw him make a play on a punt or kick return?

                        That's my guess.

                          Was their any detour type signage along the egress routes? If not, that’s probably why people were turning around. If all they know is heading east on 27th, if you send them West with no directions I can see where the confusion would be. As for the cops giving up, that’s laziness on their part. If UNI and the city want to make the egress work, have squad cars and barricades block 27th street and no cars can get through.

                            It doesn’t make much sense to force locals to drive west out of cedar falls. Good lord did some geek with a slide rule come up with that ?

                            of course many are going to Uturn, they don’t want to drive 4 miles out of their way.

                              There were people passing out information prior to the game and the same flyers were put on windshields of the McLeod lot. Seemed quite simple. Drive West to the new Greenhill extension south to University and back to town. It's not like everyone had to go to Dike and then back on 20 to CF.

                                Take Greenhill to University and quit complaining... That said there were no signs and no directions showing where to go... I swear CF traffic management is soo piss poor it's only rivaled by UNI's lack of ability to create a gameday atmosphere.
                                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
