...has UNI over Iowa in the Championship Game.

Go Cats!!!!!!

That is about the coolest thing I have heard/seen other than my 9 month old Godson (son of two very very pro-Hawkeye parents) wearing a purple UNI onesie and a UNI hat smiling ear to ear.

Kids have the greatest imagination and dreams.

Keep that love for the hometown teams alive Kabullseye.

I was doing a How To Succeed in College presentation today at Tri-County High School and on my laptop, I have a picture (that's blurred because it's stretched) of Grant Stout dunking in the Bucknell game.

A girl in the class walked by as I was shutting down the computer and said, "Awesome, where'd you get that picture of Grant Stout? I hope the Panthers beat Georgtown Friday!"

Then another kid said, "How can you NOT cheer for UNI, they've got a lot of Iowa boys and this is their 3rd straight NCAA Tournament."

I've never smiled so big while working. Great kids down at Tri-County.

That's just crazy, there's no way Iowa makes the championship game.

My 5 year old daughter has UNI beating Pacific for the championship! We do a family bracket contest every year and she make her own picks. Whenever we ask, UNI vs ..., she just rolls her eyes and says UNI.

since everyone else brought out the kiddie stories first....i'll bring out mine.

while watching the selection show last night with my 9-month old girl, we waited for NORTHERN IOWA to appear in a bracket....once it popped up, i said, "Go UNI!" and then she raised her index finger and gave a little scream. she's been watching a lot of basketball lately with dad lately and is figuring out how to wave and point with her fingers.....in my mind, she was thinking UNI is #1.....then she burped, giggled and crawled off of me and over to pick up a toy hammer, and started to beat the carpet......

I will share mine..............For the second year in a row, I will not be able to attend the first round game because the Greenhill council of Girl Scouts Daddy - Daughter dance. My 9 year old counts on me. I miss very few Panther games and travel to Peoria, Des Moines, and St. Louis consistently. I am banking on a victory and will head to Daytona on Saturday.

You COULD head to Daytona, but you won't see the Panthers there...

You should get a vote for dad of the year!!!

Keep her on track with the correct finger.

[Panthers Win!!]

My ten year old son yelled at me all night for not having UNI down as champion. He said I was personally responsible for the bad luck now if they don't make it. He was completely serious.
