It is games like this that remind me as to why I'm a Panther fan. I'm a Panther fan because I am an Iowan. Also, because I am a UNI grad. UNI consistently in both football & basketball, show that they are worthy of fans that have their sole allegiance. UNI will really turn the corner when the dual-fan crap ends & grads completely throw away their Iowa or ISU security blankets & tell the peer pressure to screw off. UNI stands on its own & more than deserves fans to root for them every day of the year & to be damn proud of it. Here is to great games against Louisville, Georgia Tech, LSU, Kansas, Missouri in hoops through the years & in football...Wisconsin, Iowa, ISU, Minnesota, etc....etc...etc...Go Panthers.

UNI loves the 5-pt lossesComment

"...the Northern Iowa men's basketball team reached the ultimate highs before hitting a devastating low. Unexpected success, followed by unimaginable failure. And they owned it -- all of it -- for the world to see. Like men. Like leaders. Like champions -- in a way no tournament bracket could ever define."Comment

Re: Proud panther fans
Seriously, when is it going to be our turn again? How many games (in all sports) are we going to have to frustratingly lose before we "break through." I'm really pissed right now, so maybe I'm just being crazy, but when are we going to win the at home NCAA tournament game in volleyball to go to the sweet 16, beat an FBS team (preferably the one down south) or win a national title in football? Or get back to the NCAA tournament in basketball? It's just terribly frustrating seeing these so-close losses over and over and over again.Originally posted by JayJ79 View Post

Re: Proud panther fans
Fwiw, UNI won the at home NCAA vb match twice in 2001 & 2002 against Minnesota and Mizzou respectively.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.Comment

Re: Proud panther fans
UNI isn't in the position to discriminate.
We need to take every fan we can get. Dual, bandwagon, casual...they are all welcome in my book. Everyone has to start somewhere. Nobody becomes a die-hard fan overnight.
I walked into the 2003 UNI/Iowa game a Hawkeye fan, left a UNI fan, and really haven't looked back.Originally posted by TH1974Comment

Re: Proud panther fans
It's not that I'm not proud, because I am. I just want all the athletic programs to take the next step. I'm getting exhausted with all these "we were right there but..." games.Comment

Re: Proud panther fans
This is not at all what the thread is about. And by the way, UNI had everything in the world against them & always does & will. A 5-pt loss to the #2 ranked team in the nation is damn good. The late jump ball call was complete crap so it was much closer than a 5 pt game. Pitino laid the praise on thick for UNI after the game. It's too bad our own fans have trouble with it.Originally posted by JayJ79 View PostComment
