    Thank You!

    On behalf of the entire Bucknell Pep Band, I want to say thank you to the entire PantherNation. The Dome was an amazing place to come and visit and see the second/third best basketball I have ever been to. You guys were the most polite, dedicated loyal group of fans I have seen.

    I'll be a permanent UNI fan now (except if we see you guys in the tournament or when you come here next year).

    Thanks mcapodee.

    Bucknell basketball is certainly worth all of the hype. You have a tremendous team and would be a tough draw for anyone in the NCAA tourney. Good luck and have a great post season, unless we meet up again.

      I had the chance to chat with a few of the Bucknell Band Members and they were great to talk to. They were passionate Bison fans in a classy way. They also got a chance to eat at Pepper's! I hope you all had a great time in Cedar Falls and we'll all be following Bucknell and cheering for you guys to win as well!

        I'm glad you had a great time in Cedar Falls...other then the game, of course. Good luck the rest of the way!

        One question, did you get to keep the UNI Panther hats that you wore during the playing of the UNI fight song? I am assuming that we gave them to you as a gift for coming and for playing the fight song.

        ESPN did do a quick story about the UNI band playing for Bucknell down in OK City, but they didn't catch them wearing the Panther hats.

          We got to keep the hats, but I gave mine away to a little kid when their parents were talking to us after the game. Some of the other people did too.

              If I recall it was not a matter of not having the money to go. Bucknell was an upset winner of the Patriot league touney. Since they were not expected to make the Big Dance, most of the Bison Pep band members were scattered far and wide on spring break and they couldn't get enough of them together in time to make the trip. I think that was the explanation I heard anyway. I could be wrong though.

                You are correct BigCats
                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.

                    Hey mcapodee-

                    I believe you may have been the one to give my son your UNI cap. You made his day! We appreciated your enthusiasm for your team and your good sportsmanship. Your fans and band were very nice to us after the game, especially after a tough loss. I know your team will make some noise in the NCAA's. Good luck the rest of the season.

                    Go Panthers!
