Up Next: Wichita State

Re: Up Next: Wichita State

I think it is 6 one way half a dozen the other.

I live in Altoona, when I go up I take the diagnal because the diagnal starts in Altoona. If I am in Ankeny with friends before we head up during football season we head up 35 to 20.

Jeg, you might know this. There's a small town bar just north of Marshalltown that has a chicken on the sign out front, with a flashing light. Great place for cheap eats and a couple of beverages for the road. At UNI the place was nicknamed, "home of the periodically illuminating barnyard fowl." I think it was called the Chicken Shack, but not sure.

Also, another great small town bar in Grundy Center...the effin' name escapes me. The place was notorius for being a rugby road trip stop. Not just for UNI, but all teams who were driving anywhere near the area.

Places like that are what makes the diagonal route worth the trip. It's been 16 years since I've had to make that drive, so apologies for the lack of names.

You and Creighton and SIU are lucky to have your fanbases. We are a little jealous. You would think you would be better with that kind of support. Go figure

Best response I've ever seen to a Shocker fan bragging about attendance.

Shockers: Why can't people register for your board?

I've tried numerous times and never get activated.

Actually RoyalShock is the moderator for our board....Im sure we welcome all..numerous new posters from Utah State so I dont think it should be an issue. Check your junk mail just in case its getting filtered.

Just wanted to stop in and say Hi and hope its a great game...we need another one to help catch up to you guys after laying turds at Drake and CU.

I expect a very tough game and hope we are fortunate enough to come out on top after the bruise fest. Should be fun to watch I hope at least.

After this good luck with ODU and hope you all get a W for the Valley...personally I think we got the toughest matchup playing a bunch of 25 year old mormons...but we will see.

kind of off topic but wondering if anyone remembers this guy from the Montana Grizzlies....Buch Buchanan award winner Kroy Biermann....not sure if you guys played them during his years or not....Hes family and playing for the Falcons now. They have a pretty good FCS program like you all do...if not pretty cool video

Re: Up Next: Wichita State

Hello Panther friends, i have been looking forward towards this match up since monday, should be great one. At 9 o clock we will find out, if we have mvc title race on our hands or if you guys will have it wrapped up in the bag. I have a feeling this will be a very well played game, and whoever makes the plays down the stretch will be victorious. Good luck tonight and the rest of the season.

Re: Up Next: Wichita State

hey all, i got two tickets to the game and can't make the game (sickness) and UNI doesn't let you return tickets and won't release them even if you ask. SO if you need duckets, I can call and have the tix in my name changed to your name and you can go! 2 tickets, sec 105 row C seats 7-6.

Re: Up Next: Wichita State

20 is the most boring drive in the world. I drove from Waterloo to Storm Lake and it was the worst drive ever. There also is no cell phone reception on 20 as well. But when I drive up to CF I take 35 to 20 easy drive about under 2 hours in West Des Moines.

You can always pay $8 for it through the UNI Athletics website. I know here in Kansas City it is actually on tv for once when it's not on ESPN, thank god.

The restaurant in Albion north of M'town was named the Chicken Shack, or something similar. I really don't know if it's still open or not, don't have any reason to go to Albion. I think the bar in Grundy Center is called Scotty's Saloon, but haven't been there lately either.

Re: Up Next: Wichita State

Last Wednesday we went up by Marshalltown and came back on 35. Travel time was about the same.

Same deal here. Black ice on 96/65 and blowing snow on 20/35. Pick your poison. I know, too late for info.

Re: Up Next: Wichita State

Any word on Mr. Moran?

Your media director told our radio announcers that it is likely he wont start but would play a large amount of the game. They said he looked pretty good in shoot-around.

Re: Up Next: Wichita State

Moran is warming up & looking good

KDMI is coming in good for me here. Robbie just referred to WSU star "cleveland" hannah.
