Still doesnt explain the Menace.

That explaination is so lame. According the the paper, " We also wanted to represent various regions of the state. In the end, every team on the list was either a champion at a particular level, OR EARNED THE RIGHT TO COMPETE ON ONE OF AMERICA'S GRANDEST SPORTS STAGES, SUCH AS THE FINAL FOUR." Apparently the only collegiate football championship decided on the field and broadcast to the nation doesn't meet the ragisters standards. Gotta love that paper, "The newspaper that all Iowa Hawkeye fans depend upon." I'm to the point now that I would almost like to see their credentials pulled, but I know that isn't smart either.
Sorry for the rant.You don't break out the Purple and Gold on game days or look for special gifts and gadgets bearing the colors because you want to be seen among the loyal. Purple and Gold aren't colors you see---they're colors you feel. They run through your veins with a continuous roar.

Here, this'll get your blood boiling too.
Today the dmr had an article about Jeff Horner and Greg Brunner and their experiences playing pro ball in Europe. Okay, so far so good. Then near the end of the article they had a side box titled Former "Big 4" players now playing internationally. They proceeded to list all the players from Iowa and ISU that are now playing internationally.
It's hard for me to believe their constant snubbing of UNI in all things is not at least partially intentional.GO PANTHERS!Comment

Yup-----it's boiling!! I wish we had another statewide paper. The Register does a nice job with RAGBRAI. They're good with bikes and Hawkeye news, that's about all they can peddle.

I'm sure Jason Daisy is still playing overseas. What about guys like Chris Burdine? Jon Little is potentially going to sign. It just seems like the Register knows (and reports on) what Brunner and Horner had for breakfast the other day, but couldn't find Gruber, Scheids and Benny J if they were dribbling a basketball on their front page. It's just plain lazy and that tells me the type of "work" that goes on at the Des Moines Register."10% of life is what happens to you, 90% is how you react to what happens."Comment

Just curious...and I'm sure it was mentioned somewhere else, but if JLit is going to be playing overseas, is anyone jumping in to take his spot as Grad Assistant? Brooks?Comment

According to pantherwoman, and she would know, Jaison Daisy is now living and working in the twin cities. I found an old thread where this topic came up a couple years ago.
Here is a decent site for tracking guys playing overseas:
Eurobasketball
You can search by names, or if you can find the "americans overseas" link in the left hand box (it's only there on some screens) you can search by alumni university.
It looks like Schneids and Benny are in France, Gruber is in Australia, Cory Jenkins and Octav are in Romania. That was as of last season, I suppose there could be some switching by next season.Last edited by GonzoCat; 07-26-2007, 03:25 PM.GO PANTHERS!Comment

I thought the CR Gazette was bad, but apparently the DM Register takes the cake on this one.Comment

New poster here...bear with me.
I think someone from the DMR, had to actually attend the game to understand how difficult it was to get to a championship game.
It was a special Friday night for all the UNI graduates that made the trip to Chattanooga for that game. I could only imagine how this game will be remembered by the team. I was fortunate the game was played so close to my home. I am ready for another UNI run at the Mountaineers in December of 07.
With a much experienced Sanders at quarterback, I am convinced that some the turnovers will not happen this time. But I still think the Panthers were a couple of Terrance Freeney power runs away from a victory in 2005. UNI will run "at them" this time.
How many 1-AA teams (sorry the new classification name escapes me) have a quarterback with this many play-off and regular season games under his belt?
I would really like to see the native Iowan players make the blue collar contributions to winning at least nine regular season games this year.
But the first step is winning the first game.
Good luck Panthers.Comment

or...
PantherNation's own (which I need to update sometime):
The Lord reigns, let the earth be glad; let the distant shores rejoice, clouds and thick darkness surround Him; righteousness and justice are the foundation of His throne. Fire goes before Him, and consumes his foes on every side; His lightning lights up the world; the earth sees and trembles; the mountains melt like wax before the Lord of all the earth. The heavens proclaim His righteousness and all peoples will see His glory.Comment

As if the Panther-Snubbing wasn't bad enough, they left off my hometown hero from the women's high school basketball list. How did they forget about Lynne Lorenzen smashing Denise Long's (who was on their list) scoring record and scoring more points than ANY player male or female in her high school career? http://desmoinesregister.com/sports/.../lorenzen.html

Well, it's not technically the ONLY one. D2 and D3 have football playoffs too, and they get broadcast on the ESPNs too.Originally posted by Purple Reign View PostComment
