I Am Ready For Basketball

[bonner97]

Is it just me, or is there anyone else who wants to roll up the turf and get the hardwood on the Dome floor? UNI is slowly becoming a basketball school, and that is fine with me!

I have my season ticket form filled out and I am preaching to everyone I know to get there @$$e$ in the seats this winter to see Coach Mac go back2back2back.

AMEN!

I'm pumped for basketball, too, but I'm nowhere near ready to roll up the turf. The best part of the year is when both sports are going on at the same time. Glad you've joined our message board bonner97, and I'm also very excited that you're trying to get other people in the stands for basketball. But lets not look past football just yet -- the boys aren't nearly done. Lets get excited for BOTH sports going on at the same time!! Lots to cheer about if you're a Panther right now!

I simply must agree with him... the sooner opening tipoff arrives, the better.

We shall see after this weekend in football. If we lose, no shot at playoffs. Win and there is still a chance.

Time for hoops

It is nearly time for hoops but you cannot start talking about hoops over football until mid november, however, Im glad to see some serious bball excitement bonner. I cannot wait for this season to get going but as a former football player I have go with Reed, its not yet bball time, but soon my friends, soon it will be.

[JCPanthers]

I'm excited for BB too, but I will be cheering for our Football team until the football season is officially over....playoffs or no playoffs!!

Welcome to the Board, Bonner. You are member #399...any of you guests want to be #400? I'm sure there is a huge prize awaiting you.

That's what I'm Talking about
Go Benny!

Preseason

Okay we're getting all the hype. But as Iowa basketball fans can tell you that doesn't mean anything. We need to do it on the court. Let's hope that high expectations don't lead to a let down. I know Mac wants the regular season title. It's going to be an exciting year.

For me, it dosen't really seem like basketball season until January starts. I get a little taste in early December for a few days when there is little football and the in-state basketball games are going on. But January is when coference play starts and the action really heats up!

Funny, I used to not be a big basketball fan until this board started and Panther fans finally had a VOICE!!!

The program's recent success helps a little too...

Yes the success has helped, but this board has really helped me to understand the game and our team a lot better.

Basketball school huh? Funny how only three years ago one of the players parents told me he was at Scheels before the game and overheard a conversation of several UNI students. Seemed they could'nt figure out what to do that night and he suggested they go to the basketball game. They simply laughed and said the basketball team sucked and was a waste of time. He informed they UNI had a young team and soon would be a NCAA team. Who knew he could see the future! Kudos to the athletic department, Mac, the players, and those fans who stuck by panther basketball during some bleak years (read decade).

I'm excited about Basketball too.....but lets not forget UNI's Wrestling and Football Tradition.....

[GonzoCat]

I believe UNI is a Football/Basketball/Wrestling/Track/Volleyball/Rugby school.

And probably a few other sports I left out, but those are the ones I could think of that we really excel at.

[Back2BackCats]

I am also a huge basketball fan, but let's not wish our lives away. Let's enjoy it all, the football team can still make the playoffs and we can help this weekend. Besides I don't think there's much tailgating for the basketball games. See you Saturday.
