When are the Panthers travelling?

[NVstudent4ever]

Just curiosity on my part. Looking forward to seeing the Panthers in person, even if I will be cheering for Nevada (Have to cheer for the school I actually attended and have been cheering for for several years now).

As someone who moved from Iowa to Reno a few years back, let me tell you that the altitude adjustment is no piece of cake. I still remember the first time I tried to do anything athletic out here. I held my own for about an hour or so, but ended up puking my guts out because of the lack of oxygen. Now, I'm by no means a Division I athlete, but it is something I'll be keeping my eye on toward the end of the game.

I would imagine that the team's charter will land in Reno sometime late tomorrow morning. That has been the regular travel schedule so far this year...

[Born-a-Panther]

We fly out of the Waterloo airport at 11 a.m. central time... I think we're scheduled to land in Nevada at like 1:00/1:30 their time??

Thanks guys. Any fans on this board making the trip out here?

BTW, feel free to come over to WolfPackChat.com and talk with us in the sports forum.

I'll be close to the game-Las Vegas,wish I could make the trip up to Reno for the Panthers!
Leaving tomorrow at 7 from C.R.

Who will guard Fazekas? Egleseder or Stout?

[BCPanther]

I think that Fazekas will see Koch, Stout, AND Coleman at different points. Koch gives length, Stout gives muscle, and Coleman gives a quick physical player.

If Eglseder guards him at any point, his eyes will light up like a young child's on Christman morning...

Fazekas is not your typical post player. Think Dirk Nowitzki...

Well, Las Vegas is closer to Reno than Northeast Iowa, but it's not like you can just drive from Vegas to Reno and back unless you're really dedicated. It is a 6.5 hr drive one way. I would recommend catching a flight. There are a lot of flights between the two cities.

Fazekas would eat Egleseder alive. Stout is a solid post defender and is who I would choose to guard Fazekas were I Jacobsen. I'm more interested in how the Wolf Pack will guard Coleman and Stout. Coleman could give either of our post starters problems and is exactly the type of player who looks like an all-american every time the Pack plays someone like him.

I'll be making the trip out with a couple of others... looking forward to warmer weather for about 24 hours.

I've been out here since Tuesday afternoon. We barely got out of Chicago somehow on Tuesday, and had to wait over 2 1/2 hours on the runway before we could take off.

3 pm it is. Make sure you have a way to get into the game beforehand. It is sold out.

[unigriff]

He said think "Dirk" so, that instantly meant I thought bout Kyle Wilson....funny yet, disturbing sight!

[panther2317]

Kyle is a 'poor man's' Nick Fazekas, so our fans who have seen WSU play should have an idea of his abilities.

[WolfInSeattle]

Not only is Coleman the kind of player that gives the Pack trouble, Stout is too. I expect them to combine for 35pts and 18 boards. Nick should get 25 and 15 so it'll balance out. The Pack has been made a 10pt favorite, but I think that's too high. Good luck tomorrow, Panther fans. I'm really excited (and nervous) to see these teams and conferences mix it up.
