  • UNI to host a four team MTE tourney next year

    Similar to the one ISU hosted this year in Ames. Three opponents played on three consecutive days.

    Or similar to the one that UNI played in earlier this year in Seattle, Wash.!

        A BCS conf. school playing a challenging opponent on the road?
        not likely

          I'm pretty excited for this. It should be a good opportunity for our team and school to host a tournament. Looks like we are finally getting some recognition. I too tend to have the same feelings about the BCS schools coming to play in the tourney.

          "You put some dumb red bird, a Hawkeye, and a Panther in a cage, and who do you think is going to win? The Panther would clearly rip the other two to shreds, eat them for dinner (although it would be a small meal for the monstrous beast) and spit out their feathers to make a pillow!"

            While it does seem unlikely that a big name team would sign up, it should be noted that Old Dominion hosted one this year and Clemson came in for it. It COULD happen, though it is likely not to happen.

              My MTE line-up for next year
              UNI
              YSU
              Appy State
              Va Tech
              Oh, and let me make this perfectly clear to you people: you go to UNI, NOT IOWA. The Hawkeyes and their fans do not give a crap if you remain "true to them" or some stupid self-fulfulling bullcrap like that.-OTP


              What i say are my opinions and mine alone, and not that of anyone associated with me.

                I am hoping we can aim a little higher than that... YSU is not real good and Appy is a fluke this year that will show what kind of team it really has...

                  Yeah i know those aren't good b-ball teams, i was trying to spread it out a bit, really crappy team=YSU, flash-in-the-pan mid-major=Appy State, and good BCS team=VA Tech. plus rivalries in other sports with 2 of the 3. JMT

                    I dont know if you can really consider our one game history against ASU in football a "rivalry".

                      And I really don't think that Youngstown is really a rival either, we see them once a year and its been pretty one sided (knock on wood). The only school that I really feel is a rival is Southern Illinois.

                      I would prefer to see something like this for that tourney...

                      Day 1- UNI vs. UIC and Gonzaga vs. Louisiana-Lafayette

                      Day 2- UNI vs. Louisiana-Lafayette and Gonzaga vs. UIC

                      Day 3- UNI vs. Gonzaga and UIC vs. Louisiana-Lafayette

                      Three schools that have had some success in the past and three different styles in three days. Just my 2 cents....
