Looks like "Purple Pride" is correct. Hopefully everyone comes out with their purple (except for us Maniacs, I'm guessing?) Promos: Adult tix: $5, Kids: $3... PLUS TWO cars will be given away at the game, one for students, one for all others in attendence.....Pretty exciting lets hope for an amazing showing with ESPN 2 coming to town!

Big Week Kids!!!!
With a mid-week game vs. Drake (revange game) and the Bracket Buster and ESPN2 coming to town this weekend, I would think that energy will be high on campus this week! If you're a student or someone who is on campus in Cedar Falls, pump this game to your friends and fellow students/co-workers.
First things first, UNI needs to protect the homecourt vs. Drake this Wednesday. That win gets the Panthers 18-8 and 9-6 in the Valley. Then, if UNI holds court again on Saturday afternoon, they can go into their Wednesday game vs. SIU at 19-8 9-6. Getting to 20 wins before St. Louis is essential to getting a post-season bid at this point.
I don't even want to talk about the NIT yet, BUT if the Panthers get left out of the NCAA's...we need to have a HUGE attendance on Saturday to even challenge for a home game in the NIT. It's so important for this program (and the future Panthers who might be watching this game nationwide on Saturday) to have an enthusiastic home crowd this Saturday!
Have a great week everyone and tell your friends to buy a ticket and WEAR PURPLE!"10% of life is what happens to you, 90% is how you react to what happens."Comment

I've heard there are rumors out there that there will be end zone bleachers for the Bracket Busters game. Any confirmations out there? That would be huge....even better seating for students, community, and Panther fans.
Anyone know how many tickets have been sold so far?
What is the buzz like in Cedar Falls/Waterloo? Any new promos or ads out there on tv/radio?The Lord reigns, let the earth be glad; let the distant shores rejoice, clouds and thick darkness surround Him; righteousness and justice are the foundation of His throne.

Pttb -- I can confirm your information about the bleachers -- there will be seats now behind the baskets!!"...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."Comment

Set-up?
Will the set-up be similar to the Iowa game last season, or will they have bleacher seating on three sides and still have the court close to the EAST FOOTBALL STANDS? Just curious...
by the way...I'm a little fired up for this week of basketball!!!"10% of life is what happens to you, 90% is how you react to what happens."Comment

Maniacs
This may be a little premature, (maniacs may receive an email about this later in the week), but I was wondering if anyone knew whether or not the Maniacs are supposed to wear their usual shirts or if we too are supposed to wear purple.
I too am extremely fired up for this week at the dome! I'm still trying to spread the word about the Bracket Buster game to everyone...I know I have sparked interest in some people that usually would not go, let's hope that keeps going.
Go Panthers!!! "OH BABY! I LOVE THIS TEAM!!!" -GR Comment

Awesome!!!!
I think many Cedar Valley residents should want to come out and support their local school when it's on national television. Come on everyone, recruit all you can! Don't forget...there is a GAME TONIGHT TOO! That one is more important today! SMS losing last night, coupled with a UNI win today gives us a better grip on a the #3 seed. GO PANTHERS!!!!!!"10% of life is what happens to you, 90% is how you react to what happens."Comment

UNI Cheerleaders Candace & Jillian were on 92.3 FM this morning promoting the game!! Nice job girls!!Comment

That's great!!!
Anymore people feel like calling into other stations and just talking about the game?
Has anyone in the Des Moines area talked about the game on Deace's show this week?
I'm sure today they'll all try and dissect the Iowa loss for three hours. I'm they will have new and original things to say about Iowa and Alford. I'm going to e-mail Deace again and see if it gets read on the air.

I will try to listen this afternoon to hear if you got some air time. Did anyone hear Cotlar this morning? He was PO'ed with the way the Drake/UNI game ended, and we got sent the worst official in the league for the "best" official to be sent to Wichita after he was suppose to do our game.The Lord reigns, let the earth be glad; let the distant shores rejoice, clouds and thick darkness surround Him; righteousness and justice are the foundation of His throne.

A ton of tickets were sold today. There is going to be a very large crowd on hand tomorrow. I would estimate that about 5,500 tickets have been sold already, not including students and walkups.
Tomorrow is going to be an exciting day for Panther basketball!!!The Lord reigns, let the earth be glad; let the distant shores rejoice, clouds and thick darkness surround Him; righteousness and justice are the foundation of His throne.

My mom said that today on Z-102.9 (in Cedar Rapids), they had McDermott on talking about the game. This is great, because it seems that most Cedar Rapidians don't even know that UNI exists, and Z is a very popular radio station!Comment
