This is the "mid-major" vs. BCS conference arguement in basketball all over again (only with much more arrogance from the major conferences). They will continue to overlook..which is fine by me. I heard Scott Van Pelt say this morning that he was convinced that App. State could compete year in and year out with the bottom 4 in the Big Ten. OK it's not a great compliment...but it's a start.

I see this as a good thing for UNI. Let them worry about another team beating Michigan and not think about UNI. Also, let them focus on their "superiority" and forget to worry about the fact that our skill players are as good or better and the fact that we probably have the advantage on both lines up front...Originally posted by Purple Reign View Post
Add to that the fact that our guys will be playing with a chip on their shoulders and will NOT be in the least bit intimidated in Jack Trice Stadium after last year, and things are prime for an upset...err, win!

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.

I just put a bet on UNI beating ISU, and I was given 4 points. If I lose, I have to wear an ISU cap to classes next week. We MUST win now.Comment

Good bet; with you getting points very good bet. I was actually thinking if Vegas had lines on this one they'd go UNI by 3.5.Comment

I'd say that Vegas would have this as an "Even Money" game. For UNI to be favored on the betting line, there has to be strong "evidence" that we should be, IMHO. For instance, when we were favored a few years ago in Ames, UNI was coming off a playoff run led by a Senior QB and ISU was "starting over" with Bret Meyer. Just my opinion though... On a side note, how long before Chizik stops playing Gateway teams?? Especially if UNI wins Saturday? 3 years ago UNI was favored heavily, 2 years ago Illinois State took them to the wire, and last year we were a few feet from the W...Originally posted by AmesPanther View PostComment

hopefully we do better than the 23-0 loss we had back in 2004 when we were "favored"Comment

It's possible, but it seems like the ISU AD likes this game. Also fans of both schools seem to like the game. It certainly sells well. So it would seem for those reasons the game would stay.Originally posted by UNI05Alum View PostComment

I read somewhere that ISU scheduled a home and away with Western Kentucky now that they have made the move up to FBS. It was a message board post, so don't know if it's true or not.GO PANTHERS!Comment

On the WKU note:
49-3
welcome to the FBS *****es. shoulda stayed where you were instead of going to the crap belt conferenceOh, and let me make this perfectly clear to you people: you go to UNI, NOT IOWA. The Hawkeyes and their fans do not give a crap if you remain "true to them" or some stupid self-fulfulling bullcrap like that.-OTP
What i say are my opinions and mine alone, and not that of anyone associated with me.Comment

THe ISU AD should love this game. Currently, I think UNI and ISU hold the Jack Trice attendance record. If UNI continues to compete in this game I see UNI fans continuing to buy tickets in droves."10% of life is what happens to you, 90% is how you react to what happens."Comment
