Where will we be ranked?

[Hail Our Panthers]

Re: Where will we be ranked?

It would be nice to crack the top 20 but I would be suprised if that happens. I am going with #22.

It is unfortunate that we have our toughest game on tuesday because it is only going to take one loss to knock us back out of the polls.

UNC should drop out completely, but I doubt that happens. A 12-6 record is not worthy of a ranking.

Even if all the losses come against highly ranked teams? (not saying that is the case with UNC. MOST of their losses are to higher ranked teams, but a couple of them are not)

Gary Parrish is a douche.

He tweeted last night that if we 'can somehow' beat WSU, we will make his poll...

Re: Where will we be ranked?

Think thats bad, I turned on the cess pool that is Sound Off last night and the idiots said that UNI might be ranked 25 today, also when asked by a caller (thanks Dave) what it was going to take for UNI to beat WSU Tuesday night they kind of chuckled, looked at each other, and said "show up." Completely oblivious to any actual knowledge of either team.

Also, when talking playoff football they mentioned that you should jump on and support a team if your team is out, the way Iowa supported UNI last year in the NCAA's. These guys are clueless DB's, and I am not talking Defensive Backs.

They are still mad because we wouldn't give them a press pass to a football game a few years back. They will show up when Drake come to Cedar Falls, because Drake has a far bigger fan base than UNI. I mean there has to be 10X more Drake grads in Des Moines than UNI grads.

Some of you are so dedicated to the idea of having a villain that you have to create one.

They were extremely complementary to UNI last night and repeated no less than a half-dozen times that we would be ranked and were the class of the state right now.

What do we have to do to win Tuesday? "Show up." That's high praise, what more do you want? If they had engaged in some in-depth "UNI needs to do this" or "UNI needs to do that" you'd be here yelling about how they didn't give us enough credit.

Seriously, some of you create your own unhappiness. Enjoy yourselves once in a while and learn to honestly assess a situation rather than applying cookie-cutter responses.

Re: Where will we be ranked?

When generalziing a group such as "some of you" it is not appropriate to quote an individual poster. If you have a problem with a group, address the group in a blanket statement, rather than quoting one poster and griping. I don't have to have a villain. It was apparent that they knew nothing of either team and could maybe pronounce two names on our roster. And yes, I am unhappy about the coverage of channel 13. They are the number 1 TV game in the state and they know jack dickum about the #20 ranked in the country Northern Iowa Panthers. Thats terribly irresponsible journalism.

Re: Where will we be ranked?

WDM Valley girls basketball, oh wait, SE Polk and I-35 Truro girls basketball is a hotter topic to those 2 noobs at 13 than UNI basketball.

And as per the drake comment on grads in DSM...I didn't know people graduated from Drake...I thought they just gave their money and ran their mouth. Maybe i was confusing them with Creighton fans.

When addressing a group it is perfectly acceptable to identify an individual to serve as an example of that group.

Channel 13 isn't even #1 in Des Moines - in fact it's normally not even that close - so they can't be #1 in the state. KCCI beats them in every single newscast - morning, noon and night - and they have for years.

You imagined the slight in that program last night - I watched it as well. They did a fine job and were very complimentary towards UNI. Either you were unable to understand the information being presented on your TV or you felt the need to invent a slight so that you'd have something to angrily post about.

Re: Where will we be ranked?

After looking at how poorly the bottom half of the top 25 performed this week, I think there is a decent chance we stay in both polls tomorrow.

#24 North Carolina lost
#21 Ohio State lost
#19 GT lost
#23 Miss State lost
#25 Baylor lost (to #3 KU on the road)
#16 Clemson lost

#26 Vanderbilt won twice
#27 UConn won twice (beat #1 Texas)
#28 New Mexico won twice
#29 UAB won twice
#30 Florida State won twice (beat #18 GT)
#31 Butler won twice

Prediction for AP 20-25 spots tomorrow:

#20 UConn
#21 Mississippi
#22 Florida State
#23 New Mexico
#24 Vanderbilt
#25 UNI

Prediction for ESPN/USA Today 20-25 spots tomorrow:

#20 Clemson
#21 GT
#22 Mississippi
#23 Vanderbilt
#24 New Mexico
#25 UNI
