    Guess which category you are in?
    If nothing else you are hilarious. "Athletic department strategy"? Give us some insight into that.

      It is just a whirlwind isn't it? How about you just use the phrases "Hawks" and "Panthers", 9?

        But can we please stop calling out the dual fans in every single thread. Does every single post have to be about that? There are certain people on here that I would prefer not to read their comments and "insight." 9YR is not one of them - he usually has some good things to say. Do I like that he cheered for Iowa this weekend? Obviously not. But we're not playing Iowa in anything again for a couple of years so lets move on.
        The problem I have with 9yr is not that he is a dual fan, it is that he comes on here claiming to make corrections and put people right when it comes to UNI fans making fun of/criticizing/just being UNI fans towards Iowa, but when it comes to Iowa fans coming onto the UNI board and doing likewise to UNI (ON THE UNI BOARD) he says its no big deal or brushes it off as some kind of Cyclone fan pretending to be a Chickenhawk fan. It's that HYPOCRISY that I have a problem with.

        Guess what? It's a UNI board. We are allowed to make fun of/comments towards whomever we want to on OUR board. Big f-ing deal. If you don't like it, go to your own board and moan about it, but don't be a baby here about it.

        I have no problem with posters being idiots on our own board when it comes to other teams. It's part of the fun of being a fan of one team over another. I do have problems with our fans ripping on our own team and will continue to call people out for that. But you want to rip on Iowa, Iowa State, Creighton, Wichita State, NDSU, SIU, Appalachian State, Delaware, UNLV, etc....have at it.

            Well said...

            If you have difficulty deciding where your loyalties lie for a game like Saturday's, fine....debate that internally within yourself - that's no one else's issue. This has been and always will be a UNI board, however. There's no need for a supposed "voice of reason" here - let people vent and have fun dissing the Hawks if they want to without belittling them for it and making them feel like they're overreacting. Many of us have very good reasons (growing up around jerk fans, etc.) for disliking Iowa...so what? No need to be condescending to people like they don't have it together as much as you if they want to spew some venom Iowa's way.

              i'm so happy that the Hawks have enough grace and compassion to allow me to have Panther message boards. I shall bow in their mercy (takes knee, bows head) and hope that they can lead all of us back to the promised land.

                That's fine, and I agree with all of that. Unfortuantely when we call these people out on it EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. it just makes the conversation go on longer and longer and every single thread turns into the same thing. That just makes the problem an even bigger one. Can we try to ignore them rather than add fuel to their fire? At least some of the time?

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."

                  I don't want anyone to leave, I just wish Hawk defenders wouldn't feel the need to correct and respond to every other post that even mentions Iowa. This is a UNI board and I don't enjoy every other thread getting turned into debate over the acceptability of dual fandom.

                    OK, i get this. but remember that I am of the school of thought that UNI needs dual fans in the short term, if not to cheer for UNI at least to not care that we exist. there is a growing contingent of iowa fans that would rather see UNI become the university of iowa-CF and playing d-3 sports. they see little value in UNI athletics and wonder why we offer the same degrees at UNI that we do at iowa. they have no concept of what UNI means to the state.

                      This is why I am scared to death of the presidential hire. I worry that they will find someone that is willing to tear programs, athletics, and other auxiliary enterprises down and make it more of a satellite of the other two...

                        unfortunately, there are plenty of powerful people who could take a calculator and some basic accounting skills and make that option look very attractive to someone who has no true appreciation of UNI.

                          Has anyone in a power position even put this on the table? For instance, the regents are saying all sorts of things these days that amount to micromanaging the institutions. Have any of them suggested anything like this? I haven't heard it. So far, it just seems to be gadflies saying it.

                            Does the faculty senate have any role in the new presidential hire?

                            Please God tell me the answer is no.
