    "...the Northern Iowa men's basketball team reached the ultimate highs before hitting a devastating low. Unexpected success, followed by unimaginable failure. And they owned it -- all of it -- for the world to see. Like men. Like leaders. Like champions -- in a way no tournament bracket could ever define."

    I enjoyed that article quite a bit also, but I know it is the last article of any substance the DMR will write about UNI this year other than when we play Drake.

      Loved The Article...

      ...but Gonzo...you're right! Continuous support in the Register needs to continue. If UNI is one of the state's best teams (and they are) then they deserve more exposure statewide.

        I've been told that the register wants to increase its coverage of UNI sports... now whether that holds true or not... I guess we'll find out.

          The Des Moines metro area giving us more exposure can only be beneficial... this is GREAT! (if it's true, that is)

            A newspaper is not a social experiment in what "deserves" coverage. It's about what makes money. The question is, are there enough UNI fans in central Iowa for the Register to give the Panthers great coverage?

            I think I heard a figure indicating that statewide readers of the Register are becoming fewer and fewer. If this is the case, central Iowa events will get a disproportionate amount of coverage. This is why the CIML high school conference gets more coverage than eastern Iowa conferences, even though they tend not to be as successful.

              some good comments about the status of the DMR. with Gannett's corporate feel, it will be tough to get in stories the next morning of games in Cedar Falls...they aren't going to send beat writers to our games because they go to print way to early and have other things that go on from what i hear. keeler and clark (i think that's her) do a good job with columns though, and if thats what we can get, its never bad......

              what would be best in my opinion is if the DM tv stations can get the feed from CF for highlights after games. are they doing that much now?

                It's too bad that someone couldn't take Nancy Clark's pen away.

                  Except for when they play ISU, UI, and Drake the DM stations, from what I have seen, the stations usually just flash a score. With UI, ISU, Drake, and high school sports, UNI never really gets any sorts of highlights.

                  The nice thing is that 1460 radio has given UNI a lot of run since the big ISU win.
