Oh Baby

[Panthers to the Bone]

Real Time RPI= 32

Guys, 32 RPI is a lock for the most part in the Dance! I knew we would jump up in the RPI, but not 13 spots! What a huge win! Damon's in West Des Moines was going nuts (all 7 of us)! I have never seen a man jump so high in my life, as I did with Panther2317. The man straight up flew out of his chair! It was great!

This is coming from a guy who, after Maurice Newby's shot over Missouri, posted a sign in his front yard "NEWBY FOR PRESIDENT." The neighbors wondered who he was. Now, even though we get little respect outside of the Cedar Valley, people know the Panthers, know the Coach's first and last name, and know too that there the most exciting BB in the state is played at 23rd and Hudson. I watched the game on TV, but would like to find a recording or replay of Rima's reaction. Let me know. Let's get 'em on Saturday. By the way ... is there anyone aside from me who is pretty scared of S.W.?

Don't let SMS see your fear!

Vertical Jump PTTB -

Even though I'm at my ideal playing weight if I was 8 ft tall, I can still get off the floor when the situation calls for it! WOW! Damons was a lot of fun and I hope it's just a preview of what St. Louis will be like this weekend!

Thanks to the Cedar Valley Panther Nation.com party for calling Damons and checking up on us.

WOW! I got home and watched the last 1:52 about 5 times! I still can't believe the Panthers were down 7 points with 1:52 left in the game. The best part (ok, one of the best parts) of Benny's shot was seeing Rima and Boyle jump in the air!!!!! Driving home from Damon's I got to hear replays of the call! I got goosebumps! How can you NOT love this team???

These kids really get it. Now, if the coaching staff can turn their attention to SMS and draw up a good defensive game plan against a hot SMS team!

GO PANTHERS!!!

UNI On Fox News

My Dad (a WIU grad) called this morning to let me know Brian Kilmeade was talking about UNI on FOXNews this morning.

What a great game, I think I woke up the kids I was screaming so loud!!

GO Cats!!

I have watched Sports Center I swear like thirty times since the game last night. Every time I see Benny's short I do a fist pump and say Yessssssssssss!! That was an amazing shot, That was an amazing game, and this is an amazing team. I agree with the guy who says How can you Not love this team?

I also saw on the ESPN Highlights that Gary Rima and Kevin Boyle Jumped up and threw their arms in the air. That is awesome, Mr. Rima is the man. I just cannot wait for this weekend, it's going to be a blast, especially when we beat SMS and then Take out Southern in the Semi's.

See you guys there.

Thanks to the Cedar Valley Panther Nation.com party for calling Damons and checking up on us.

I was hoping that Damons had an intercom cuz I asked them to say "Is there a Panthers-to-the Bone in the House??!!!"

We had a great time at Peppers watching an awesome game!!! The bar went totally nuts when Benny hit that shot!!! I'm glad I finished my beer, because it probably would have been dumped all over Purple Reign's back!! As Mac said, this may have been the most important regular season game in Panther history.....because it may have just got us an at-large bid!!

Looking forward to seeing all of the Panther Fans in St. Louis. I am due to arrive at the Adam's Mark around 9:30 - 10:00 PM Friday night. How bout a late night PN.com rally at Players Lounge?

Panthermania is starting to spread in Des Moines too:

KCCI 10:00 news was real excited. Even the news anchors were talking about the game.

Sports radio guys Cotlar and Deace are mentioning UNI everytime they talk men's bball and discussing them.

Folks, UNI bball has slowly made its way into the regular bball conversation in Des Moines. With as much ISU and Hawkeye coverage there is in Des Moines, UNI coverage keeps growing and growing. Its a great site to see and hear.

There is only one word that fits...................KABOOM!!!!!

[Born-a-Panther]

Wow... still haven't come down from the high and it was real tough trying to get to sleep last night. Peppers was great... and it was great to know that our fellow panther nation "family members" were doing the same thing in Des Moines. It's gonna be a struggle to get through the next two days until leaving for St. Louis on Thursday!! What a great feeling it is to know that bit by bit UNI basketball is finally starting to get the recognition it deserves. And jumping 13 places in the RPI?? Wow... congrats Panthers!!! This is more than well deserved

Cap'n Cat limped home from a rough day at work at 11:30 last night and was proud to see the buzzer-beater as #8 on ESPN's Play of the Day!

Bill, there is a metro link train that has stops at 8th & Pine, which is a few blocks from the Adams Mark. Then get off at the Civic Center stop which is then only 2 blocks from the Savvis. Cuts your 14 blocks down to 5-6.

Here is the web site for the metro link and the pick up times:

Also found this map that gives you a better idea of the metro link and the location of the stops:

jc...thanks for the info as well....that sure helps out on the ol walking thing. Won't be there till Saturday morn as I figure I might as well save the money from a hotel room. Does anyone know if they are planning a pregame party this year like they did last year at the bar? That was definitely a good time...if not, we should set something up.
