With the recent resignation of Depaul head coach Dave Leitao, the speculation has begun on Depauls message board on who will be there next coach. Coach Mac is one of the names being thrown around, but I'm still confident he'll remain at UNI.

It's always great to hear that people are taking notice of UNI and Coach Mac. I think that DePaul isn't as attractive as a job as it was before the move to the Big East (or Big Least). DePaul was a upper-mid-level C-USA team, and now they will be cellar dwellering it with Rutgers and Providence. Not to mention, their travel schedule will be rediculous. Closest road games are South Bend, Milwaukee, Cincy, Louisville, and Philly? Ouch!
Coach Mac would be great at any program he goes to, but I hope he stays at UNI for a long time to come!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. Fire goes before Him, and consumes his foes on every side; His lightning lights up the world; the earth sees and trembles; the mountains melt like wax before the Lord of all the earth. The heavens proclaim His righteousness and all peoples will see His glory. -

I agree, any coach that's tight with Stevie Alford is top notch

HUH? Not sure what you mean by that wonka? Why is it again that you spend so much time here?"10% of life is what happens to you, 90% is how you react to what happens."Comment

Yep, I'm a "boob." Go Cyclone baseball is right!!! Would you really rather not have me on here? I think I make things interesting. I know that when I'm reading the ISU message boards that it's always more interesting when some Hawkeye is debating issues with us...I try not to call names and just say stupid stuff to tick everyone off, I like to think that my arguments have some backing, unlike some of you guys who just type something like "pigs" and run off to dream about Panther tennis kicking ISU's butt.Comment

On the GTO forum I go to there are Mustang guys that visit regularly. Some of them just like to bad mouth everything and talk smack. A few of them actually add to the site a different perspective and are good to have around. I think Wonka is good to have around. JR started off like a 12 year old kid with the way he argued things, but as of late even he is ok.
That's my opinion.Comment

wonka...
I enjoy healthy debate. I don't enjoy someone JUST 'talking smack'. Back it up with well thought out opinions and/or facts. As far as Women's Tennis...it's not just one sport...ISU, as a institute of higher learning, has some good qualities, but you can't deny that UNI has a better athletic department than ISU.
I believe that UNI defeated the Cyclones in Volleyball, Men's Basketball, Softball twice and now Women's Tennis. UNI isn't a one hit wonder. They have the whole package and I think things are getting better. The school is generating more and more interest in the state and the teams are competitive year in and year out and are getting better.
Keep coming back and I hope ISU wins every game they play except when they line up vs. UNI. But don't think the fact that you're an ISU fan is intimidating to any Panther fan. It's annoying more than anything, but I enjoy to hear other people's perspectives on how UNI runs a more efficient Athletic Department with 1/10 of the budget."10% of life is what happens to you, 90% is how you react to what happens."Comment

I never said anything about trying to intimidate anyone, I'm not an idiot. Like for some reason you guys should be all afraid of someone who likes the Cyclones...as you mentioned, you did have a good year against us, not sure that it makes your athletic department better than someone else's just because you beat them in more sports though. Not just spinning this so that it looks like less of an accomplishment for UNI, you guys deserve the recognition for that. If you guys had lost in everything to us I don't think I'd claim your entire athletic department was inferior to ours, I would just say that as of that moment, we have better teams than you do.Comment

I'm really not sure that in state wins/losses account for how good an athletic program is year to year. If that is a measurement than every sport has to play home/aways with each school in the same year. That won't happen.
ISU played most of these in state games on the road this year and lost most of them. Last year ISU played most of them at home and won most. I think last year ISU won 8 of 9 against Iowa and almost that against UNI.
Does that mean last year ISU had the best athletic dept in the state and this year the worst. I don't think so, I think that it's all about home/away. I think what it really says is all 3 schools are very closely matched so a win comes down to where the game is played, UNI just had to accomplish this with the least money, Iowa didn't get the same value with their money and ISU is in the middle.
To make this point more obvious let's look at men's basketball for the last 2 years; that's 6 games. The home team won every single game.Comment

Actually, upon further review, guys like wonkadog are probably a nice buffer. There are Iowa fans who say some really off the wall s**t to Panther and Cyclone fans alike, feeling like they had a part in the success of a crazy-loaded athletic department. Not that all Iowa fans are jerks, far from it. It's just I have come to one conclusion about Iowa and Iowa State fans:
When talking smack...
-Iowa State fans do it the most,
-Iowa fans do it with more a mean spirit.
I'm not going to tell you that one school does it more than another, because I couldn't back up that kind of a claim. I will say that it is teaching me one thing: UNI is starting to appear on the radar in the scope of Iowa's DI programs. In basketball for example, you have no choice but to mention Northern Iowa in the same breath as ISU and Iowa. I have to come to the conclusion that this probably scares Iowa fans more than it does ISU fans, but again, I can't back up that claim.
Anyway, I got off on a rant. No, wonkadog is not a boob. When you really get down to it, the things he says are no more stupid than the things other people on this board (yes, me too) have said. It's just that he's the "enemy." Whatever the hell that means. It's just that I really, really wish Iowa State still had baseball.
