      Looking forward to hearing her speak at her first public appearance Monday evening at the Panther Caravan in Clear Lake.

        She made an appearance at the Missouri Valley softball tournament, so at the very least, she's being more active than Harris was.

          (Well, Drake was there too! )

          Will be in Cedar Rapids to see her Thursday.

            She was there in UNI gear and quite active in social media posting photos and messages about UNI.

              We're going to go meet her at the event in Waterloo on Tuesday night. Will be a busy week for her!
              "...the Northern Iowa men's basketball team reached the ultimate highs before hitting a devastating low. Unexpected success, followed by unimaginable failure. And they owned it -- all of it -- for the world to see. Like men. Like leaders. Like champions -- in a way no tournament bracket could ever define."

                People are saying really good things about Dr. Franklin, as you might expect. Today it's the Purdue AD.

                I always chuckle at these comments though... Imagining a follow up conversation between a new mid-major AD and a Power 4 counterpart...

                Mid-Major AD: "Hey there, thank you for the nice comments."

                Power 4 AD: "Of course, you're going to kill it there! Congrats."

                Mid-Major AD: "Along those lines, how about a basketball home-and-home, or even two-for-one?

                Power 4 AD: "HAHAHAHA, oh that's so funny! HAHAHAHA.... Oh wait, you're serious? <click>

                      Thank you!

                      I'm hoping we hear a strong emphasis on fundraising, athletic facilities, and overall strategy to remain competitive within our landscape. She'll need to do some work to differentiate herself from her predecessor.

                        She absolutely needs to win the press conference today. Absolutely needs some energy, enthusiasm and charisma to go on top of her more concrete plans.

                        • The invitation we received said the press conference is at 3:30 today. Can't see anything on the Panther web site about it to verify the time.

                            Lol. I have two emails that list different times now that I look at it. One says 2:30, one says 3:30.

                            So.... It's one of those, I'm guessing.

                            • Some things transcend the person in charge it seems.

                              • Maybe there's confusion on the time zone.

                                Hopefully no one says "NIU".
                                Winning is more fun than losing.
