With all the bickering, here is something clearly positive. Too bad there probably won't be a bigger crown on Saturday for what looks to be a pretty cool deal.
Great coach and a better person.

Re: Eldon and Dee Miller Day
Here's more on this from unipanthers.com: http://www.unipanthers.com/sports/m-...110209aaa.html
It would be nice to see decent crowd for this, to honor that great tournament team and a great coach. Plus, we are hanging up our new NCAA tournament banner from last season too.
Should be a good day to come watch some basketball before the Youngstown slaughter.UNI FIGHT

Re: Eldon and Dee Miller Day
Eldon Miller is a fine man. He did many good things to help UNI basketball, but more than that he raised a lots of money for the school. He was very generous man and deserves to be recognized. I wish I could go to that game.Comment

Re: Eldon and Dee Miller Day
I don't recall the exact circumstances for Eldon leaving his post as head coach. Did he actually retire? Or was he asked to step down? And, was that under Retrievi or Hartzell?Comment

Re: Eldon and Dee Miller Day
He retired during the Retreivi administration. I believe it was after the 1997-98 season with wins over Iowa and Iowa State that year.Originally posted by Catmandoo View Post__________________

Re: Eldon and Dee Miller Day
That's right. The season got off to a great start after the team trip to Europe that summer. Beat Iowa and Iowa State. Then right after Christmas, everything went down hill and the conference season was a bust.Originally posted by UNIpanther99 View Post"...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.

Re: Eldon and Dee Miller Day
I sat in a activity fee committee meeting with Ritreivi, and was totally turned off by the man.
He had a hard on for Eldon, you could tell that he didn't like him. I actually asked him if he really thought that if he went up against Eldon he would win. Barbara Lounsbury stopped the meeting at that point, and I was admonished. Funny stuff.
I remember watching the Iowa game in a bar where I lived at the time, and we beat them soundly. That team came out playing well, then it just crashed. It gave Ritreivi the bullet he needed to push Eldon out. It was a shame that he was done in by that guy.Comment
