It would be my BIRTHDAY that day. All I want for my birthday is a 20-point game from Travo! (seriously, I love that guy)

Travo's my boy for life! I remember visiting in October, writing a message on his white board outside the door that had said "Travis Brown, know about him!" well, I'm pretty sure everyone in his dorm complex knows about him now and pretty damn sure the whole Campus as well."Man shut up before I comb your hair and brush your teeth!" - Travis Brown

I'll be in attendence and pumped up!!! It will be a night for the three Seniors that will play their last game at UNI and the UNI-Dome. John Little, Erik Crawford and Ben Jacobson are the heart and soul of this team. It will be a great way to say good bye to the UNI-Dome. With this win we will also tie the school record for wins in a season with 23. Let's get a big crowd in the Dome for these guys and Go Panthers!!!!Coach Whisenhunt 1/18/09. "There was never any complaints about not being named the starter, all he wanted was an opportunity and he took advantage of it. Kurt is probably one of the greatest individuals you'll ever meet. Kurt worked hard on a lot of things that a lot of times older quarterbacks aren't willing to do. That's a credit to his humility and his competitive drive, and the reason that we are here today in great part is what Kurt Warner has done for us."Comment

Remember the game last year? Remember when Cellus put J-Lit in a head lock and threw him to the ground? Remember this year when Bradley's big man Pat O'Bryant had to sit out the first 8 games due to taking money he wasn't working for (had a salary job, and didn't work the final week or so).
It's the last night that we will get to see our seniors Erik Crawford, Ben Jacobson, and John Little play in the UNI-Dome. They were not the foundation for the program that Mac laid in the first year where the departing seniors played a great final season. They came in the following year, when they knew they probably weren't going to be very good. Learned how to play Mac's system, even though they took their lumps. They saw how to become dedicated to the game from senior walk-on Ryan Paulsen. They saw how to out-execute teams by David Gruber and Matt Schneiderman. They saw how to lead through adversity by Chris Foster with a broken hand. They came, they learned, and even though they weren't the foundation, they were and still are the supporting beams. These three are what have taken the weight of the program and continued to build off of. They have taken their God-given abilities, and learned from what the previous Panthers have done and have thus taken UNI to a level not previously seen at UNI. They were no one year wonder. They were 365 days a year Panther for four years.
What they have accomplished will hopefully never be seen again at UNI. Taking UNI from the cellar to the penthouse. Never underachieving, but overachieving all the way. I say that I hope we never see it again, b/c I don't want to see UNI drop that low as a program again. I hope the program continues to grow and improve...even though it may mean a down year or two every once in a while, but for those fans who were here before Mac got here, this season, last season, and the season before were for you and your loyalty. Wednesday night is for 'E', Benny, and J-Lit's loyalty. Go Panthers and Rock the Dome!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

I have to work Wednesday as well. Missing the game and OTP's B-Day.Guess I'll be following the game on Yahoo sports gametracker. The computers at work don't have sound cards so I can't even listen to Gary and Kevin!! How about that for 20th century technology!"They keep saying that what really matters is not whether you win or lose, but how you played the game.

I'll be there is spirit...in reality I'll be in Sioux City trying to get to a place to watch and cheer on the Panthers!
ejacobson, where is that place I'm supposed to call again? Is it a Sports Bar?"10% of life is what happens to you, 90% is how you react to what happens."Comment

Biggest game in Dome history?
Ok, maybe not THEE biggest, but you could argue that this is one of the biggest games in Dome history and here's why:
- Final game for three great seniors that have epitomized what it means to be a UNI Panther.
- Essentially the last "home" game in the Dome ever. (I know, we'll still play there once a year for our "money" game vs Iowa/ISU and let them bring their cash to Cedar Falls. We've been over it ad nauseum, I get it, but I still wish we didnt have to!!). But I digress... we may not have loved the Dome as a venue for watching b-ball, but we're leaving behind a lot of memories that won't soon be forgotten.
- The game itself is HUGE. Win this and we'll be playing for the regular season conference title in Carbondale on Saturday. I can feel it folks. Drake's got it in them to pull off the upset over WSU on Wednesday and we'll know the final with about 10 minutes remaining in our own game. At that point, UNI will go on about a 14-0 run to finish off Bradley and the Dome will be rocking one last time for BJ, EC and J-Lit!!! Mac will get to sub for them one by one, sending them off to standing ovations while I sit with tears in my eyes up in Minneapolis!!
I've got goosebumps already! Go Panthers, crush BU!!!Comment
