I agree with those calling on this game as local flavor and interest at a tough attendance time of the year. Another line of thought on this: How many times has our football team been able to use the Wartburg field to prepare (last year, this year,...)? Maybe this is our way of giving a little back to Wartburg in guarantee money and rent. It certainly doesn't hurt to keep good relations. Yes there are concerns about injuries, but it is spread out in the schedule, in fact I don't see a better place to put it. Should be a fun game, bring fans in from the Cedar Valley and give us a chance to play deep into our bench prior to conference games. Works for me.

I'm sure Wartburg will give them a better game then NU. The last time UNI and Wartburg played in a regular season, was in 1989-90...the same year that UNI beat Missouri in the NCAA tournament.
I think UNI beat Wartburg that year by 10-11 points.....hardly the blowout everyone expected.Comment

Actually Wartburg played Iowa in exhibition last year and it was a game until the end, then Iowa took over finally. Thats why this game should be exhibition.Comment

Anyone know if the the 3 KFXA games will be available in the Des Moines area? I gotta think that at least the Drake game will.Originally posted by Panthers to the Bone View PostComment

Yes, my guess is that those will all be on KDSM. KDSM has done a great job of airing UNI games that are airing simultaneously on KFXA.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.

Add another ESPNU game to the mix (4 games thus far on ESPN2/ESPNU). UNI at SIU is on ESPNU now.

Has anyone heard any more on rumors that Mediacom will put some games on tv and how many? I am considering a switch to a dish in order to get ESPNU since they have so many Valley games this year. But if Mediacom is carrying a bunch of Panther games I may not bother.

Mediacom will have some games...not determined which ones will be on though. My guess is that most will be home games (the ones that are televised). Some other schools have contracts with Mediacom, such as MSU and SIU. Since both SIU games are ESPNU games and one MSU game is on FSN, one will probably be picked up by Mediacom. Other than that, I have no idea.
By the way, the updated schedule is up on unipanthers.comThe 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.

Also, if you are in the Des Moines or Cedar Falls area, there will probably be gamewatches that will be available. That's something else to think about. Also, two of the ESPNU games are home games.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.

12 TV games thus far.

I would think that Comcast Chicago would pick up that Loyola game, as they have them on quite a bit.Comment

The UNI game against Washington is now on FSN Northwest. I wonder if this game will also get slotted for FSN Midwest? Or better yet, since it barely goes into prime time (5:30PM-7:30PM) maybe KDSM and KFXA will pick up the game.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.
