UNI Director of Athletics Rick Hartzell was "ON PRESS ROW" today and announced that UNI will open their MVC season at home on Dec. 27 and that game will be against the Bradley Braves, and the biggest news was that the game will be on ESPN! WOW, has this program come a long way baby!!!!!! He also said Tony D. is recovering nicely from his bypass surgery and he fully expects Tony to be ready to lead the Panthers womens team when practice starts on Oct. 1. Our thoughts and prayers are with Tony D., get well soon coach!!!!!!!!!

Thanks for the update Gary!!! -
That's fantastic news! Again, take a look at what's happened here, over the past several years. This program was dead, almost completely and utterly hopeless, and now a regular season, non-promotion, standard-as-hell conference home game will be broadcast nationally on ESPN. For the third year in a row, a UNI home game will be given such treatment.
That is nothing short of incredible.Comment

That's fantastic news. That game should be a good one. It's too bad that the students won't be around to show off their atmosphere, but I'm sure 'The Mac' will be rockin'! What a great way to start the MVC regular season!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 know, but i mean for ESPN and the marketability. Two 7 footers goin at each other, you know how ESPN hypes everything up past where it needs to be. It will be a great game for UNI, i agree completley with thatComment

Great news!! How awesome is that. I'm glad that I'm a student that lives in the area so I can be part of this historic moment. I never miss a basketball game because I love the game so much and our team is awesome!!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
