Re: Two Noteworthy Milestones This Evening

9-yr: what's up? I realize you're playing devil's advocate, and trying to balance your loyalties b/w two schools, but you've been awfully harsh to the PantherNation faithful lately. What gives?!

He isn't really balancing them....

Re: Two Noteworthy Milestones This Evening

This thread is rittled with inconsistencies and inaccurate information.

UI and UNI are competitive in almost every sport except for football. FBS v FCS, need I say more. Actually, I was sitting in the season ticket holders section last time we played each other (05). The game was closer than the final score and had some hawk fans around me worried coming out out the 3rd quarter. That made it a ton of fun for me....

Even last night was extremely competitive. One shot with a different bounce and the game would have been tied with about 1:00 on the clock. We didn't get the bounce and had to start sending you to the charity stripe. Both teams were missing some key players and had players who were forced to switch from G to PG due to injuries.

Actually, looking at all the head to head over the past year it has been competitive (except for Softball). Heck, the last time our wrestling teams met, UI pulled it out in the final match 15-18. Consider this, UI Volleyball doesn't even play us anymore....

I usually find this message board very informative and entertaining. However, I will not return to this thread as it is just a waste of my time reading about what Jonny and DaHawk have spewing from their keyboards.

Oh, and dual fans should be welcomed as long as they stay true to who they are, be honest about who they are, and bring forth good chatter....

Back to reading information that matters... the future.

Re: Two Noteworthy Milestones This Evening

this is typical UNI fan's- at least this board- M.O. someone says something that is more than likely true, and instead of arguing the statement with positives about their team, they try to bring down the other guy.

Not at all. What it is typical of are Big Ten fans being shocked and suprised when their teams are blown out by teams from SPEED AND ATHLETICISM conferences. I wish it were the other way around, as I can't stand cracker southern fans of anything. However, the evidence speaks for itself. The Big Ten is probably far better and more balanced in b-ball this year than football, and look at what happened in the Big Ten/ACC challenge. I'd also love to see Ohio St. beat LSU (can't believe I'm saying that), but won't be shocked to see an LSU blowout.

So how is anything I've said, "bringing down the other guy?" It's not like I'm from Delaware

maybe I am jaded from the old "dual-fan" thread, or maybe I just think people are idiots. i dont feel an obligation to balance any feelings between two schools, I just speak (or type) my mind.

Nothing wrong with speaking your mind. I'm with you somewhat on the dual fan thread, it was a bit much.

I also think many are having an emotional over reaction to losing to Iowa last night. There's a lot of season left, we have a real young team, and Carton Reed has yet to play. Given how young we are, it shouldn't suprise that we've played wildly inconsistent. Jake and staff should be able to watch tape, and make adjustments/improvements. We got killed on the boards last night, and it's not like we played the Pistons. I'm betting Jake can correct the mistakes that caused it.

It's the MVC that matters, not Iowa. In state bragging rights don't mean jack to the selection committee. Bradley, SIU, and Creighton aren't going to care either.

Re: Two Noteworthy Milestones This Evening

freeman will not play the 1 this season unless peterson is on the bench. peterson was our starting pg from the time he signed with Lick.

Oops, looks like you forgot where you were for a minute there. Must be hard keeping your different message board personas straight huh Sybil?

It's okay to be a dual fan, but you should stop trying to hide where you first loyaly lies. It's not that hard to tell from your posts.

Re: Two Noteworthy Milestones This Evening

i have used "our" when describing both teams on both message boards. it was fitting in that case because I actually have a clue about iowa hoops, unlike the poster who was trying to tell me I was wrong.

how about our 35 point win vs. ISU last night????????

But for some reason EVERY post you have is you being a Hawkeye apologist....

Re: Two Noteworthy Milestones This Evening

All of this fighting with 'Dual Fans' is getting really annoying...

Why are we demanding people have one loyalty and put 100% of their enery into UNI sports. As far as I'm concerned we are making progress in this state if Iowa and ISU fans are willing to jump on the bandwagon. Every time somebody in this state thinks about UNI as more than an afterthought, we are making progress.

Enjoy the journey. Life is too short not to.

If 9YR, Newsy and others are also Hawk fans, god bless them. I don't need them to drink the pure purple kool-aide like I do for me to respect them as co-UNI fans. C'mon if they didn't care for UNI and wanted UNI to fail why would they be supporting them through purchasing tickets and making PSC donations??

Let's let this thing die...

Re: Two Noteworthy Milestones This Evening

Well this is my first post on here, but after reading all this I was laughing so hard I had to say something. First Iowa didn't dominate this game. They played the best they have all year shooting 58% from the 3 line will make any team hard to beat, and it wasn't because of bad defense. These were tough shots that just happened to go in. Freeman comes back after just 2 practices and drops 15, more then any player from our UNI team. (tells you how important is is to this hawkeye team) and Kelly plays a tremendous game for anyone on the road especially a true freshmen. congrats to him, a good ball player in the making. And one last thing, everyone is complaining about Coleman not starting and what not, but he played terrible last night. He forced some ridiculous shots and made some bad decisions and if he would have hit half the free throws he missed we win.

First of all, welcome. I really feel like coleman plays like crap because he is out there forcing things because he cannot get into any sort of groove only being out there 3 minutes at a time.

Re: Two Noteworthy Milestones This Evening

How is Coleman going to play well when he can't get ina grove, like panther10 said, he doesn't start (regardless what he says this has to shake his confidence some), he doesn't play for more than 4 minutes at a time, and last night he was playing with the flu

Re: Two Noteworthy Milestones This Evening

i am guessing EC was sicker than we know. he usually owns the hawks. gorney is still probably having nightmares about him from years past.

[BrettMC]

Re: Two Noteworthy Milestones This Evening

Lets hope he was just sick. The two games we have lost this year have been when EC has played terrible. He did lead us in scoring last night, but that was one of those times where the box score didn't relect how he played. We really need him to step up his game it seems this team only is going to go as far as EC takes em. But after talking with one of my best family friends last night after the game, a UNI player, the team is really disapointed but they're already looking forward to this nice break they have (10 days) till their next game to improve especially on the offensive end. And he told me thier offense is going to get a tremendous boost from Reed coming back, he says the best offense player they have. And also, he stated that their getting the second best offensive player in Joe Green back. I already knew about Reed but Green surprised me. And he stated that this kid is going to surprise a lot of people. So I guess that is one thing to see how its going to pan out. Go Panthers!!!
