Calling all Maniacs!!!!!

How did Pierre Pierce get involved here? He is one of the best players in the Big Ten. He is way better than any of the Panther players. And to all of you Alford/Iowa haters, grow up. Get a life. That's why I will never ever go to a UNI game again because of your comments like this. What did Pierce do to you? You don't know him and I don't know him. It happened over 2 years ago. Get a life please. I hope ISU destroys UNI tonight. I can't stand you guys at all anymore. Iowa will be way better than UNI in everything. I can't wait to get out of this school. I'm looking forward to an Iowa beat down next Tuesday at Carver. Go Panthers, yeah right. Go Hawks!!!

Hawksfan -- you're the one who needs to get a life. Go find something a lot more productive to do besides sitting at your computer crying to a bunch of people who don't care one bit about what you think.

Not everyone here runs down the Hawks. I will cheer for the hawks when they aren't playing UNI. However, your arguments are so lame that they can't even be defended. Iowa is way better than UNI in everything? Let's think about that for about two seconds. Volleyball - UNI, Mens basketball last year UNI beat IA and went to the NCAA. Iowa looses to UNI and choked big time in the nit. We will find out how superior IA is next Tuesday and the wrestling team comes to town on Thursday. We will have a pretty good idea after that how great IA relative to poor little UNI.

BTW - What the heck is stopping you from getting out of UNI. Drag your sorry but down to IA City and make everyone happy!

It has to be the education!

That's what everyone keeps telling me! I go to school at UNI because it's a great school, but I'll never give a dime to them after I graduate and I'll be an Iowa season ticket holder from now until the day I die because the atmosphere is better in Iowa City.

That about covers it right Hawks and TC? I'll never understand people like you. You choose a college because it's the right place for you...and then support a college that you don't attend? Morons.

Sorry for the name calling. I'm in a mood.

In conference news, the Missouri Valley Conference went 4-0 last night, led by Northern Iowa's 99-82 victory over Iowa State in the UNI-Dome. This pushes the MVC's record against D1 competition to 26-11. The MVC is staking a very early claim as the best conference in America that doesn't have a bunch of games on ESPN or FSN. This is a distinction that has been traded between the Atlantic-10 and Mountain West in this millenium, but with both of those conferences down, keep your eye on the Valley. Along with UNI, Creighton and Southern Illinois have at-large aspirations also.

MVC is currently ranked as the 5th best conference in the country. My feeling is that the MVC is probably about on par with most teams in the Big XII and the Big 11. The only difference is our have nots are probably weaker than theirs. My guess is that the top four teams from the MVC (UNI, WU, SIU, and CU) could compete in either of these conferences. I'm not saying UNI would knock of Illinois, but I think each of our teams would finish in the top half of the standings.

Not a good mode I guess. I will continue to be a season ticket holder to Iowa football games. I have never said that I will never give a dime to them after I graduate. You tend to paint with a very broad stroke.

I support an athletic team because I have done it my whole life. The athletic department is self sufficient at the University of Iowa. I don't understand people like you that get on your high horse and tell others how to live their lives. I was at the game last night, and will continue to make it to many games throughout the year. But people like you may make me change that stance by making others feel unwelcome.

i just started listening to your show but more and more when i read your posts, I am questioning why i do it.

That's why he got schooled in the Dome last year. And he got involved because he's evil, and represents everything that is unholy about college basketball. But other than that, he's a good guy.

And to all of you Alford/Iowa haters, grow up. Get a life. That's why I will never ever go to a UNI game again because of your comments like this.

Oh darn... I guess that means there will be one less UNI student wearing a "UNI Sucks" t-shirt at UNI basketball games. WHY DO YOU LET THESE THINGS HAPPEN, OH LORD???? HAVE YOU NO MERCY???

What did Pierce do to you? You don't know him and I don't know him. It happened over 2 years ago. Get a life please.

I also don't know Ted Bundy or Charles Manson. That doesn't mean I'm going to hang around them either. Say "It happened over 2 years ago" to the girl that he RAPED. I'm sure she appreciates the your loyalty to the Hawkeye Basketball program.

I hope ISU destroys UNI tonight. I can't stand you guys at all anymore. Iowa will be way better than UNI in everything. I can't wait to get out of this school. I'm looking forward to an Iowa beat down next Tuesday at Carver.

All I'll say to that is: didn't happen stud. I'm glad I'll never meet you face-to-face, because it would take some sort of tinfoil helmet to avoid succumbing to your evil genius. Now... by "get out of this school," do you mean graduate, or do you mean flunk out. Or maybe you'll get thrown out imitating your hero, Pierre Pierce. I can't say, really. All I can say is that at a University with an enrollment of almost 30,000, an athletic budget of 45 million, and a raping basketball player above the law... YOU MATTER TO THEM, HawksFan23! So don't ever give up, and continue to pledge your undying support! It's SO INSPIRING!!!!

Oh, and you smell like poo.

Hey Darryl Lick
I have done a little research and would like to give you a little background on your beloved Chokeyes. For you thinking that they are such a dominant school I am surprised you are not dropped out of College doing drugs spanking your meat about the Hawks. I guess the reason for this is the fact that you do live in somewhat of a respectable city at a respectable school instead of getting all hopped up with the other 19-23 year old Hawk fans. But anyway, back to the point. You can double check these figures of course. In the 2003-2004 school year the Panthers and Hawkeyes faced off in 10 NCAA Division 1 athletic event head to head. The scores were as follows:

Volleyball UNI 3 Iowa 0 A clean sweep!
Wrestling UNI 9 Iowa 37 Way to go Hawks
W. Hoops UNI 51 Iowa 76 OUCH Come on Coach D, we need your help
M. Hoops UNI 77 Iowa 66 We aren't better than you in anything?
W. Soccer UNI 1 Iowa 3 Great Womens Kickball team you got there
Softball UNI 0 Iowa 4
UNI 2 Iowa 3 What can I say, you have better 200lbs+
Baseball UNI 9 Iowa 8
UNI 8 Iowa 3
UNI 8 Iowa 6 We aren't better than you in anything?

Stop breathing. You are a Retard. You are probably one of those guys on the hill wearing the Hawkeye hat that I threw across the bar. Or maybe you are the one that my friend punched in the mouth for his Hawk hat. Either way, You are still a retard that no one wants around. Like the kid that just does not fit in with all of the cool kids in elementary school, you just turn into the annoying dorky just starving for attention. Oh ya, just for the record, that would make us 5 and 5 in head to head competition. If our Softball team really pulls things together this year, we might take the series. See ya dork

Why's that?

I started listening to you thinking you were a panther fan and then you never talk about the panthers on the show.
you should talk about the UNI-IOWA State game and not the coaches yelling at each other.

I don't listen every day, but yesturday was my 1st time hearing you talk about UNI and then all the time was taken up by the coaches yelling.

You talk way too much about Iowa and i don't want to hear that stuff.
I really don't like all the fantasy football stuff either.

So if I could find out somehow when you are going to talk about UNI, i will listen; if not I don't even want to waste my time to turn on the radio to find out what you are talking about.
Can you make anysense of that?

[tcondon]

Sure thing, but it is a sports show, not just a show about UNI. Believe it or not, you need to talk about what people get fired up about in sports radio. Though the game was a good one for UNI, not many people are going to call in just to say, "yeah, that was a good game for UNI." People will talk about the actions of the coaches though, that is why it is talked about.

I give UNI plenty of talk on the show. But if you want a show that is completely about the Panthers, you can would have to listen to the coaches shows. Of course, tomorrow I will talk a lot about the UNI/Iowa game, so you can listen then. Thanks for listening.

High horse?

I don't tell you how to live. Maybe I'm being unrealistic here...but all I'm asking for is a person who attends UNI as an institution of higher learning to support all that the campus has to offer. That includes athletics. Yet, you support another institution's athletic endeavors. That's what I don't understand.

Listen, I grew up watching and cheering for Iowa. I was your typical Iowa high school kid who loved the Hawks. That changed the day I set foot on campus in Cedar Falls. I'm a Panther now. Do I support the other state schools? Sure, I think it's great for the state when all three are doing well. But, when push comes to shove and it's UNI vs. Iowa or ISU, it's PURPLE AND GOLD ALL THE WAY.

That's all I'm asking for...a little loyalty to what will be your alma mater. What is wrong with that? If it's too much to ask for, then I don't know if you and I could ever have a reasonable conversation.


Also, I assumed you were at the UNI vs. ISU game the other night. Were you there as a UNI student and "fan" of Panther basketball or were you there as a radio personality Hawkeye fan doing some advanced scouting?

I'm also sure you'll talk about the Iowa game today and tomorrow on your program, but your loyalties lie with the team in Iowa City and that means I'm not sure your average Joe UNI fan will want to hear what you have to say.

Finally, you're doing a local radio broadcast in Cedar Falls, Iowa. You can't talk ENOUGH about UNI athletics. You should be talking about UNI, Iowa and Iowa State (in that order) and then local high school stuff. That's what people want to hear. They don't care how you're doing in your fantasy football leagues. Maybe if you made it a contest between a listener and yourself, that would be entertaining.

You've got a chance to be a good radio host, but you need to know your audience. UNI, Iowa, Iowa State, high schools and then other stuff is what people in that area want to hear. That is a humble opinion.

very good. well said!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[tcondon]

Actually, due the volume of callers I get during the fantasy football portion of the show, it is higher than anything else that is ever talked about. It gets more calls than have ever called the show before I was the host during a guest segment.

I was at the game cheering on the Panthers. I have told you multiple times that I go to Iowa FOOTBALL games. I go to maybe one or two Iowa basketball games a year and about 7-8 UNI games. I work 30 hours a week at another job, so weekday basketball games usually don't work for me. I am not able to support all that the university has to offer. I have said many times that I don't enjoy football at the Dome. I would rather watch a Division 1-A game between LSU and Auburn in Death Valley than watch a game between UNI and Western Kentucky in the Dome. I enjoy the experience more. I will continue to talk about UNI, Iowa and Iowa State. And I don't lie to my listeners. I am a Hawkeye fan first, and I say as much. But I will still continue to tell my true feelings (one is that I think UNI is going to beat Iowa).
