I don't think it was UNI fans cheering during offense. It was the band / PA music.

I don't have any real knowledge about any of that either (just going off what came up via google search)...

that one guy may be a troll, but he has one thing right: people on this board love to do nothing but complain. sheesh.

yes, there are some things that can use some work. but hey, we're going into a bye week and can work on them.

I always kind of wondered if there was some drama involved there. If he resigned/retired due to disagreements with the rest of the staff as to the playing time / role his daughter was (or wasn't) getting with the team, or if it was unrelated. And...

Could be part of it
The whole covid situation disrupting the calendar (spring 2020 camp cancelled, fall 2020 season moved to spring 2021 and those that would have been seniors that season not playing b/c they had built their real-life schedules...

There was a Brian Mitchell who set numerous UNI and NCAA kicking records. But he went on to the Arena League, not the CFL
(and I believe he might be the only player who ever made use of the Arena League's 4-pt drop kick FG rule)

but...

Wright State won a match in the NCAA tournament this spring (before losing to Texas, who advanced to the championship match), and they received some Top 25 votes in the preseason coaches poll.
So it isn't like they are a terrible team....

at this point, non-conference losses don't really hurt. This year's team was never going to be in a position to get an at-large. So the non-conference slate is really just about getting practice/experience going into the conference season.

four years ago today (Sept. 16, 2017), UNI volleyball beat #10 Nebraska at a tournament in Omaha, after having beaten #19 Iowa State a few days before. (facebook just reminded me of that).
Hopefully the program can bounce back after the current...

as well as a nationwide trend of declining attendance (with the possible exception of programs that are currently experiencing an unprecedented level of success) because the general public as a whole (and students) are just not as interested in spending...

I used my elite hacking skills (of changing the 2020 to a 2021 in the URL) to find that. ...

The stats are there; they just haven't updated the index page.

makes sense, since UND is only an hours drive away from Canada...

It only drew 6000 in the past because they sold tickets for $1. I don't believe they discounted tickets this time (and I think I saw that regular ticket price this season is now something like $9).
Official attendance was 4123 (a good chunk of...

okay, you were right....

I haven't watched Iowa State yet this year, but looking at their schedule, I don't think they TOTALLY outmatch us or anything.
They were swept by Iowa (Iowa's only win of the season so far). Drake and Ball State each took a set off them.
...

Wasn't that 2006, and also the game where they did a ceremony to "unveil" a banner commemorating their trip to the championship game....
and they messed that up as well, almost dropping the banner?...

maybe the football discussion could be put behind a paywall. Could clean things up a bit.

defense can only win championships when paired with at least an average offense.
They can't win championships when the offense is subpar, constantly going 3-and-out and forcing the defense to play for 2/3 of the game...

perhaps they don't HAVE to play mind games, but Farley likes them so much that he does them anyway....
