UNI dance craze?

Re: UNI dance craze?

And your weather comment is laughable. It could just as easily rain on 9/3 as it did on 9/25. Plus, its a game on grass either way, which hasn't been our strong suit lately...

It was an absolute downpoor for two straight days. The grass parking lots weren't even open. It was a sloppy mess everywhere, and it was 35 degrees. That weather absolutely had a negative effect on UNI, especially considering the type of football we played last year.

There is about a 5% chance that the weather in late August is anything similar to that.

I was there last year too. Whether it would have been 13-0 or the 27-0 it ended up being, we were not competitive. Our offensive line got owned and once their backers realized they didn't have to respect the pass at all, they absolutely controlled the run.

Look at the stats BC. http://espn.go.com/ncf/boxscore?gameId=302680066

We ran for more yards. We passed for more yards. We only gave up 210 total yards on D. The game simply came down to our (correctable) mistakes. We turned the ball over FIVE times, two of which directly resulted in TDs for ISU.

I am not 'expecting' a win either, but I do believe it will be a very good game. We were an extremely young team last year, and I do not believe that last year's result has any bearing on this year's game, and I also do not believe that Iowa State will have a very good football team. Just my opinion.

And of course, the sound system will be too busy playing "Sweet Caroline" when the Clones come out after the half.

It's at the start of 4th Q. And don't be making fun of a Neil Diamond song!
It should sound extra good this year on the new sound system, though.

Anyone who thinks the margin will be wider than last year is high. ISU's offense got a, one, single, lonely, touchdown last year. Our only chance at a TD was stopped on the goal line. That game came down to two poor throws, and our kicker not being able to put the ball through the uprights. Other than 4 single plays that is a 7 point game, or less. Now, I understand that is part of the game and no, we shouldn't have won. However, for someone to say that wasn't a competetive ball game is ignorant. We matched better physically with ISU than we did SFA.

I will not be promising any victories walking out of Ames this year however I can tell you our coaching staff did not have the expectation to walk out of Ames with a W last year, but I have heard a different tune this year. We will go in expecting to win, and Farley will put a lot of stock into it.

Re: UNI dance craze?

Its always interesting to see just how negative BC gets. UNI literally handed ISU 14 points, and 10 more points came off of UNI turnovers. The only points ISU "earned" was a FG.

To say the game wasn't competitive is correct. UNI physically dominated the game, but much like every other early season game UNI couldn't hold onto the ball and it cost UNI the game-just like the SFA game

I just remember being down there in 2007, when they played that song at the end of halftime, and it was during the song that ISU ran out of the lockerrooms. That amused me more than it probably should.

Of course, from the UNI standpoint, that game was quite enjoyable all round.

Yeah, that was probably Chizik's idea... freakin dumbarse.

They're currently installing a new videoboard and sound system, thank God.
My POS car speakers were better than our previous sound system.

Maybe its all the near misses and close calls going back 25 years. I can remember from the time I was 3 or 4 how we would get so close, only to have something bad happen. Peebles fumble, Shedd's injury, Tracy Hamm, drawing Marshall, Sanders fumble, Joe Flacco, abandoning the run, Victor Williams fumble, Grace's drop, Halgren's misses, Richmond, Hallgren's miss in Iowa City, and Lehigh have all shaped my UNI Football view.

Now, we are going to be so incredibly one dimensional offensively that our defense better win us a bunch of 14-10 games this year. One offseason does not change the fact we are going to be inconsistent at best throwing the football. I will be there for every home game and will make two or three trips, but just have a really, really bad feeling about this year. We have a championship caliber defense and wasted weapons on offense.

Prove me wrong! Go Cats!!

Poke fun of it all you want, I've already seen it all from the hawks. But, the fact of the matter is, is this videoboard is light years better than what we used to have.

That is nothing short of the truth. I had the unfortunate opportunity to go to the UNI game last year at Jack Trice and sit in the south end zone... the buzzing and popping sound nearly made me have an epileptic seizure.

I agree, we outgained ISU on offense, had ANOTHER goal line fumble and handed them 14 points and loads of momentum on those interceptions. Unfortunately I also think ISU looked better with Tiller in the game
