Greatest Moments in (Modern) History

1) UNI beating Idaho in football when the teams were ranked #1 and #2 in the nation. We stood the ENTIRE game.

2) Hiring Coach McDermott. I agree - the team is at another level right now.

3) Beating Iowa for the first time in front of over 22,000 at the Dome.

4) The AMCU Tourney in the Dome ... three terrific games capped by beating Wisconsin-Green Bay for the first NCAA Tournament berth.

5) Hiring Eldon Miller - we should never, ever forget what he did and still does for the University.

6) Opening night at the Dome. We lost the football game, but history was made.

7) The Mud Bowl Football game at OR Latham Stadium. The last game played there.

I could go on and on, but those stick out in my mind.

In reference to #7... jealousy is an ugly thing, don't ya think?

[panther2317]

I'd really like someone to take #7 off of Johnny's list. I think it's awful to take a cheap shot at a former UNI basketball player. The only reason Johnny feels this way is because he's an Iowa fan and has done all he can to voice his displeasure with the entire Iowa coaching staff. That stuff doesn't need to come to this board.

Could someone educate me as to who Brian Jones is?

[GonzoCat]

He played at UNI in the early 90's and is now an assistant coach at Iowa. Not sure what else you want to know, but here is his bio:

Brian Jones

Apparently jonny doesn't like him, well join the crowd Brian.

Cheap Shot on Brian Jones. This is a class act guy.

What Panther2317 and alleycat said!!!

[panther2317]

Brian Jones was a great Panther! He didn't have gaudy stats during his time in the purple and the gold, but he played with PASSION AND HEART! He played on a team with Cam Johnson and Randy Blocker, who I think were #1 and #3 in the MVC in scoring...so BJ also knew his role on the team. These are the things that allow him, in my opinion, to be a good coach today and relate to players. He was a player who worked hard, played with passion and understood what his role on the team was so that the team could succeed.

Outside of basketball...you won't find a better person. He's a great guy and Johnny, I'm really sick of you bringing him down on both the Iowa board and on here. It's just not right for you to do that. Please, knock it off.
