Next Up: Illinois State

color-outs are dumb anyway.
sure it sometimes looks neat if: a) it is a big crowd and b) the vast majority of the crowd is participating
but that just isn't going to happen at UNI, no matter how well it is marketed.
heck, they could give away thousands of shirts and many people wouldn't bother to actually put them on. (not that the department has the budget to do that anyway)

so it wouldn't bother me a bit if they stopped attempting such things. I'm guessing the only reason they even bother with it is in an attempt to sell more shirts.

Agreed. The concept of color-outs: good. UNI execution of color-outs: bad. I think that sums it up best.

[vbfan19]

nah, I think the concept of color-outs is dumb in general. Or at least not really worth the effort/resources that it takes to properly pull off

Apparently UNI is playing the Big10 school in Champagne Urbana.

We'd probably have an easier time with the Illini than the Redbirds.

Nothing new. Game notes have been riddled with errors all year. I mean, big obvious errors like incorrect standings and polls, spelling mistakes, words missing.

It's been rather embarrassing.

Geez. No need to jump down my throat. I was agreeing with you. UNI's execution of it has always been poor by not getting notification to fans.

The concept of a color-out is to incite fan unity and increased enthusiasm. It would be nice if something could be found to make fans more excited.

I'm always more excited depending on what color shirt I'm wearing.

Panthers.com is a website devoted to the Carolina Panthers from the NFL (Cam Newton and company), so I don't expect them to know much about UNI.

Honestly, I think UNI could whip Illinois. Like, Illinois is terrible. They'd be a mid-tier MVFC team.

Better or worse than Western Illinois?

They beat Western Illinois 34-14 in week 2.

[run&blade]

12 minutes before kickoff. There’s is not 100 students in the building.

[run&blade]

Illinois State lollipops the kickoff to 30. Not a single panther tried for ball.

first down Illinois State.

It it was right by uni bench. I guess coaching is over.

Can someone fully explain what happened on the opening kickoff? The ESPN stream didn't start till they were almost in the redzone
