I'm going to be in the Cedar Fall's area and I wanted to know if the Panthers were scrimmaging sometime today?

I believe they're scrimmaging at Wartburg tonight under the lights."...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." -
what time????"I think they're very good," Farley said of the preseason top 25 Hawkeyes. "But so are we."Comment

Sounds like some fun muddy play. Playing in slipper conditions will be a good change from dome practices.Originally posted by TH1974Comment

Won't have mud- They have FieldTurf in Waverly, which is a good thing. If it were muddy there is no way Farley would risk injury for them to practice in it.
For those of you complaining about having Wartburg on the basketball schedule- This agreement is a big part of the reason that they will come to the McLeod Center on a pretty regular basis...Comment

Actually, he would. A muddy field is not that much of a risk to injury and injury risk hasn't stopped Farley before. Playing on Astroturf in the Dome also has risk for injury. If it were muddy the greater concern is whether or not to tear up the outdoor practice field.Originally posted by Brett Crawford View Post
A big reason for going to Wartburg is that most of the teams who play outdoors now have fieldturf and this is the only way UNI has to simulate that environment. I'm not sure about SDSU but, WIU is the only team in the Gateway with natural grass and along with the Iowa State game are the only one's on natural grass this year.Comment

SDSU has real grass as well...
Thanks for the insight Matt, with that being the case I really like Farley's attitude. His teams really do reflect his toughness, sans the UND game last year...Comment
-
Yes, when he came in he brought toughness to a new level and he still brings that attitude into camp every year.Comment

Seems pretty mild in front of the press...maybe he's just nervous.Originally posted by Matt Trump View PostComment

No, his skills with the press have improved immensly in that he's pretty calm and used to it. Something the fans don't see is his intensity on the practice field and the way he organizes a practice. LOTS of hitting all the time.Originally posted by Mountain Panther View PostComment

When I was a student at UNI I played noon ball with the coaches (basketball and football) a lot and believe me...when it comes to ANY competition...Farley is as intense as they come."10% of life is what happens to you, 90% is how you react to what happens."Comment

My HS football coach, who I believe was on the same UNI team as Farley, was EXACTLY the same way.Originally posted by panther2317 View PostComment

I photographed practice on Wednesday this week and I up loaded an audio slide show to the Waterloo Courier web site. If you want to take a look her is the link.
Thanks

Well done Matthew !
PRYou 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.
