Troys Take this week

Re: Troys Take this week

Personally I'm tired of people bashing the interlude. It may have (sadly) died off at UNI but it's alive and well at high schools all over. I think that's awesome! Some schools work so hard to get a signature ritual like that. We were handed it by some creative and clever fellow Panthers. For some reason too many think of it as silly. Well I say quit taking yourselves so seriously...have fun! The interlude was our chance for a fun tradition-nothing wrong with that!

Agreed. I think we need more things like the interlude dance in order to build up the support of students. Getting crabby about the interlude dance is exactly the opposite of what we need to be doing. The more we can do to get students to the games (and staying), the better. Younger fans having fun at games is how we build our future.

P.S. All better ideas about getting students to the games are welcome. Just don't drive our future away because it isn't your preference.

No, no, no you've got this all wrong. A tradition like the Interlude is just too original and creative to be an awesome tradition. How can you have a tradition when it doesn't explicitly tell you to do something like...I don't know...jump around a bunch of times for about 3 minutes straight (or at least pack it up and pack it in), or if you aren't doing a world class charades impression of your mascot. Those Iowa Hawkeye fans do the best damn Alliga...I mean "Hawk chomp" I've ever seen. You'd think Kinnick was the Everglades or something.

During this period of regression can anyone guess what part of our athletic department and school gained us as much attention (if not several times more) than some of the teams that were competing? That's right, you guessed it. A quick google search can find plenty of blogs where college basketball "experts" and fans have complemented the creativity of the Interlude, even if they too find a bunch of white people hysterically flailing around to be a bit...interesting.

None of this would even be discussed if the football team won 12 games and the men's basketball team won 30 games last season.
