TH college students get excited about sports because when they get home after the game they get to do 12 page research papers which are so much more
exciting than your team winning

That makes no sense. Do your 12-page research papers also lack punctuation?

Re: Note to students tonight (especially Griff)

my point is why cant we get so excited about our team to run on the floor...the basketball team gets me way more excited than any assignment...i dont believe me running out on the court has anything to do with whether i have a life or not...o yea i dnt care bout punct on a msg bored

Re: Note to students tonight (especially Griff)

Fans have no business on the field or court, no matter how excited they are. It's stupid.

I don't think the fans will storm the court, as we are expecting to win the game. It's not like Iowa is a Top 25 team.

Re: Note to students tonight (especially Griff)

My question is, what do the players think? Does it make the players feel more appreciated? Does not storming the court after beating Iowa / ISU / insert team, send the wrong message to our team? I'm not advocating storming the court or not storming the court, but it seems everytime that a fan base does storm the field or court, the players are right there with huge smiles partying with them. They have never looked "disgusted" with the act. I would much rather have everyone storm the court than leave the arena with 5 minutes left to play. I thought it was VERY disrespectful to our football team when the Dome emptied midway through the 4th quarter when we were on the verge of beating S. Utah for an undefeated season. We as fans can "expect" UNI to win, but bottom line is that EVERY game is hard work to the players and they have to put their hearts and souls into it or they will lose. High levels of enthusiasm (even storming the field / court) show respect for the accomplishment...no matter how small it may appear to the fan base.

I'll believe it when I see it.

Re: Note to students tonight (especially Griff)

I have no intentions on storming the court and I will make sure I mention it (hopefully with a sign of some sort) of no B.S. chants, and also no storming the court. It should be pretty loud tonight!!!

For those of you going to the game, the entire arena will get to enjoy the luxuries of abeing a student one time A suprise will be waiting for you on your seat...i'm sure you'll all know what to do when you get your suprise!!! its gonna rock!!!

Re: Note to students tonight (especially Griff)

I don't care if students storm the court or not, but they demonstrate a lack of knowledge if they do so. IMO if they want to storm the court they should not do it when we beat a 10 point underdog, they should wait for a meaningful win like when (if ever) we beat Creighton.

I thought that too, until I attended the Missouri-Nebraska football game this year. Nobody even considered rushing the field because, it seems, the fans expected the win (even though NU was still ranked at that time). We expect to win; been there, done that.

Re: Note to students tonight (especially Griff)

As much as I hate Creighton, it strikes me as less worthy to storm the court after beating them (hopefully this year) than it does after beating an in-state rival...no matter the point spread. Unless, of course, the Creighton game (or any other) means winning the Valley regular season or tourney. If there is ever a team we SHOULD beat, it is a team from our own conference. I'm not pro storming the court tonight, but I also won't be embarrassed or ticked off if fans do it. It is our court and we will have beaten a team that has looked down on us for decades. Regardless of point spread or strength of team, this game always has and always will evoke high emotions from both sides.

Re: Note to students tonight (especially Griff)

UNI has built a better program. We expect to win, let's act like it.

NO STORMING THE COURT. It will make the correct statement.
