    The Time Is Now...

    OK Panther fans, it's time to flex those email muscles and try to get some things accomplished media wise. Per the UNI/KFXA contract (from the KFXA website), they will broadcast 3 UNI basketball games (the Iowa or ISU game in the Dome + 2 others). This year it's the Iowa game plus the Drake game in Des Moines (per the UNI website).

    That leaves one more game for the choosing of Fox 28. I am proposing that we email Fox 28 and encourage them to cover the UNI/LSU game as the 3rd game they cover. The game is on tv in Louisiana, so all they would probably have to do is pick up their feed.

    A couple things to stress to Fox 28...this is a matchup of two highly hyped teams. Had it not been for Brandon Bass leaving LSU, this game would consist of two of 3-4 teams nationally with four 300+ point scorers returning. In addition, this is the only game in-state going on on Monday December 19. Iowa/Iowa State/Drake do not play on this date to my knowledge. So, the state would be a captive audience when all that is going on sports wise in this state is waiting for bowl games and watching quality basketball.

    Here is Fox 28's email address. Those in Central Iowa, email Fox 28 also, as if they pick the game up, an email campaign to KDSM will be immediately following pending the success of this email campaign to KFXA. Be courteous and supportive. Thank them for the past exposure when UNI wasn't doing great, but encourage them to improve their coverage as UNI improves their national status. These highlights will most likely be on ESPN that night.

    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'll send an email also, I'd fall under KDSM's viewership, but an email from me won't hurt.

          Email sent. Another game for UNI to get some national exposure by beating an SEC school, if they play well. I'm of course thinking huge things for the basketball team this year. A win over LSU along with a win over Iowa State or Iowa would go a long ways between being a number 7 seed or being an 8/9 and having a matchup with a number one seed in round two.

              Good idea...but if we could get Fox to pick up an additional home game, rather then LSU, there's a good shot we could've lobbied Mediacom/CFU to pick up the feed from LA, giving us two TV games for the price of one.

                The game is being done by Cox Cable out of the south. Cox Cable and Mediacom are rivals. That probably won't happen. However, a UNI grad is at the top of the Cox Cable Company, and he should be able to give the OK to let Fox 28 pick up the signal back in Iowa. Keep sending those emails guys! This stuff does work!

                  I just want to remind people to send an email. It doesn't have to be long, just short, sweet, factual, and to the point. Keep up the good work!
