UNI vs ISU game thread

Waterloo courier article about the game

http://www.wcfcourier.com/articles/2007/09/30/sports/local/doc46ff1de3c1ee6567285959.txt

Couple of good things said in the article ..........

"Asked if the Panthers might be able to relax now, Anderson laughed.

"I don't think so," he said. "I think if anything, we'll play harder, especially since this was a shaky week for the offense. We're going to concentrate and really focus."

" ISU's Johnson told Farley to go win the national championship when they met on the field after the game."

"I thought we got after them pretty good," said Johnson, "but at the end of the day, they're awfully good."

Enjoyed his quotes as well, but don't know that I'd want him for a Head Coach. 4th & 2 on the Panther 32 and he punts???

[unigriff]

that is a hard call for any coach. If you do not have a good FG kicker, then ur left with 2 decisions of punting or going for it. In their case, they were 4-5 on FGs but had not made one over 34 yards this season.
The game situation also makes it a difficult call. I prob. would have gone for it myself, but he played it safe and had faith in his defense to make a stop. I can't blame him for that. He knows his team better than any of us do and he made the call that believed would benefit his team. He didn't know we would go on to win. Next time, he may not make the same decision.
Kinda like Farley with the ISU game last year and this year. He made a mistake last year, and this year he fixed it.

ps. UNI vs. ISwhos, 2-0...one to go

[FerociousCat]

The Redbirds NEEDED this game, he essentially folded his hand. 4th and 2, not to mention the early success they had on the ground? The Redbird radio announcers were shocked it wasn't a fake punt.

They go for it, and our defense holds, what is the difference between taking over on the 20 vs. the 32 for one of the top offense's in the country?

Compare the 4th and 2 with Sanders thowing the most beautiful pass to a diving Jamie Goodwin for 6 to step on the throat of the Ugly Flying Dogs.
We needed that game, and I doubt a Cory Henke punt for a touchback would be near as memorable.
Congrats Panthers on a great win!
Can't wait for the next SIU/UNI classic!

According to Hawkeye Report...they're all boycotting the Hawks anyway. The meltdown is in FULL effect.

some of us actually go to games regardless of record. in 30 years of having season tickets, there are going to be some lean years. I just didnt expect this year to be one of them. at least there is no argument this year as to who is the best team in the state.

mature comment, mr. moderator. you are a jackass. do you have any idea how many times I drive to CF after iowa games? get a clue.

Mature sense of sarcasm, mr. 9 yr. plan. Get a clue. Or a sense of humor, one of the two.
