JLit, ECrawford, and Benny lead team against high school allstars

[ejacobson]

If you are gonna be around Sioux City this weekend, stop by Sioux City East High school at 5011 Mayhew at about 7:00pm, and check out former Panthers Benny, JLit, and Crawford, as they team up with Iowa alums, Jeff Horner and Greg Brunner and take on the Sioux City High School all-star team. This should be a great game and a lot of fun, so if you are gonna be in the NW part of Iowa, stop on by I know Ben, John, and Erik would really love to see some purple in the crowd.

GO PANTHERS!!!

Jacobson, Crawford and Little will be in Ackley on Thursday, May 11 to do the same thing.

[Panther AC]

Schneiderman and Foster...

...will be joining them on a team vs. AGWSR senior basketball players as well as teams made up of community members and local coaching staff. Three-point shooting contests, dunk contests, autograph session, etc. Fun for the whole family!

[Matt Trump]

Its great to see the Panther love being distributed throughout the state!

[Marc Wigim]

Things like this are a terrific way to spread awareness of UnI!

[Matt Trump]

I wonder if ISU is going to have a farewell tour for its players.

[Panthers to the Bone]

Good one Reed! The article below says that the UNI Farewell Tour will go to not only Fort Dodge, Sioux City, and Ackley, but also North Mahaska and New Hampton high schools. Any word on times a dates

After reading the article, sounds like a very cool way to spread the Panther gospel. It also potentially serves another purpose...aren't we recruiting a kid from St. Eds, and looking at another from North Mahaska? Too bad Stout can't play.

PLEASE somebody take some pictures and put them in the media spot. I just wish I could see them play again before they make it to the PROS.

[ejacobson]

Ill try to get some good shots from the game in SC this weekend, but Ill need one of the mods to help me out with posting photos on here, I am a little bit computer and net retarded sometimes.

[Jonsoup]

Thanks Ejacobson.

I saw one of the t-shirts of the Farewell Tour this weekend. Very cool. Anyone know how to get a hold of one of those tees?

[unigriff]

Iowa State, and Iowa both do the same thing. THe last 3 years they both went ot my HS, one weekend after the other...They usually do central iowa the most. As it seems UNI is keeping it on the Northern 1/3 of the state.

[unigriff]

I remember watching Calvin Cato, Freddy Hoiberg, Julius Meickalek, Jared Homan, (dunked on me, oops) , Jake Sullivan was there, but had just had surgery, so he did the MCing, it was comedy!, Jess Settles, Ryan Bowen, Reggie Evans, ahhh...man what'd id give to see it all again!

[ejacobson]

Acutally unigriff, the team is made up of players from UNI and Iowa, and they are going all over the state, they will be down in Waukee this week for any of the Des Moines People interested. And if you want a Farewell Tour T-Shirt you just need to go to one of the events, and you can even get it signed by all the players.

I should have some photos of the game in Sioux Ciy pretty soon waiting for them to be emailed to me right now.

The game was a lot of fun, big dunks, cool plays, and deep range threes, along with some fun stuff like kids from the crowd shooting against Ben for a tshirt or money it was cool.
