Re: Up Next: Northern Colorado

KXNO has them but they are contractually obligated to broadcast ISU stuff first.

And KXNO will play NFL football games ahead of UNI on Sundays as well, unless they have changed that this year.

i think thats still accurate. UNI knew all this when the deal was done though. its still waaaaaaay better than nothing.

Re: Up Next: Northern Colorado

KXNO does carry come games, but if there is something else that they deem more important, than it might not be on. Although I will say that people in DSM have said that the station has been putting UNI higher on the list in the past few years.

KXnO Sports Hierarchy

1. Cyclone Women's Basketball
2. Minnesota Vikings Football
3. UNI Football / Basketball

In order for Clear Channel to carry ISU Football and MBB (on 100.3 the Bus), as part of their contract, have to carry ISU Woman's games (CC went with KXnO for this programing). Those games take precedent over any other programming on KXnO.

As a Vikes Fan I don't mind the NFL rub, at least I get to listen to one of my teams, but c'mon man can't CC find a different outlet for ISU WBB ....... I think the ladies would fit nicely on the adult alternative Capitol 106.3. Give us meatheads our Panthers!!!!

Re: Up Next: Northern Colorado

I have tuned to KXNO for Panther sports a number of times and heard things besides ISU women and Vikings. Off the top of my head I can remember them featuring baseball, other football, and nascar when I was expecting UNI sports.

It's not a great arrangement, but as UNI fans we are just supposed to be grateful for any crumbs that are thrown our way by any media in the state.

Has anyone mentioned that Northern Colorado's Head Coach is Cedar Falls native BJ Hill? He used to work UNI Basketball camps when he was playing college basketball at Grand View. Great guy.

I watched his team play last year for their conference tournament title. Watching that game made me think if Coach Jake were to leave in a couple of years he might be looked at as a good candidate to replace.

Yes I mentioned it in the start of the thread, my sophomore basketball coach is his uncle and he came and talked to us a few times, great guy.

Re: Up Next: Northern Colorado

can anyone break down the Bears team, stregnths/weaknesses?

I rally don't care where their coach is from or KXNO. We've talked about everything but the opponent in this thread for some reason.

Lets get a W tonight!

Re: Up Next: Northern Colorado

From what I can see -- through two games -- is UNC lost a ton of scoring from last year's NCAA team. In addition, they appear to be very young this year.

Decent size, but a lot of the offense is coming from the guards, led by 6-footer Paul Garnica, who has shot the ball well so far -- 5-6 from 3-point on the year. Also looks like Garnica improved quite a bit from his freshman year, or maybe that's just a result of being more involved with the talent that was lost.

Again, tough to get a read on a team with so many new guys and have only played two games... kind of like UNI. If I were to try to break down the Panthers based solely on the first two games, I would be completely lost.

Re: Up Next: Northern Colorado

Anyone know of the radio for this game in DM? I'm kinda getting it on 1540 but it's weak. DMR said 1460 KXNO but of course I turn to it and they're just bl****g the Cyclones for their BB/FB victories and the women's game will be on at 5:30. Things haven't changed around here...
