UNI Game Day Thread

Re: UNI Game Day Thread

Wasn't hard to outperform Grace yesterday.

TOB had a nice game. Still looks a bit inexperienced in selecting receivers. He's shown improvement in every game and doesn't make many poor choices. Can't complain when a RsF plays as well as he did. The Jacks have two excellant QBs on this team.

Re: UNI Game Day Thread

Just got home from B-Town and this is the best Hobo Day hangover I think I've ever had. I've gotta realize I can't drink like I did in college anymore, it hurts too bad.

Two words for that game. Simply Awesome!

They had two drives, that's it. Otherwise that Jack defense was just crazy good.

Also crazy good was the poise by some RSFR QB who had the knock that he didn't handle pressure well. Well now we know why. Because he was practicing against one of the best D's in the country. TOB on the 93 yard, game clinching drive was just great. Props to the coaches for having the gonads to call that play action pass on 3rd and goal, that's confidence in your young QB.

If the Panthers didn't see anything that hadn't seen on film before...that just means they were out executed by a better team. Simple as that.

Can we do yesterday over again? I want to see that game again.

Re: UNI Game Day Thread

TV or someone on the live blog said there MidCon was going have a replay during the week.

Couldn't find any info online so I called MidConn. The guy couldn't find anything on the schedule so unless someone has a tape of the game I can borrow I'm SOL.

Re: UNI Game Day Thread

Anybody else notice the usually quite bland Stig had a different tone in his voice after the game? You could just tell he knew what a monster of a win this is for the Jacks program.

Now maybe his toughest task of the year. Get your team ready to play after a long trip to Youngstown against a very formidable opponent coming off this win. Plus not looking forward to the game on Nov. 7th against SIU.

Something crossed my mind yesterday and I was wondering what the feasibility of replaying the previous seasons big games (No more than two at a time) on the scoreboard the first or second weekend of August to get the fans excited for the upcoming season. Charge five or ten bucks and open the concession stand. If you want to sit on the field in front of the scoreboard it'll be $15 and you bring your own chairs. Make an afternoon/early evening of it, have the football players mingling throughout the crowd. Sync up the WNAX feed with the game film.

Just something I thought about when going to Brookings yesterday. Might be a good way to generate some dough.

Re: UNI Game Day Thread

Just reposting this after posting it earlier on the Argus site:

I would say that if the game ended at halftime, UNI could have said, "We beat ourselves," and I would have granted that as a logical comment with their turnovers, penalities and the unforced bad pitch that cost them 15 yards. However, the Panters were up 7-6 at halftime. In the second half...they just got beat. That's my take. Sure, I'm an SDSU fan, but I think I'm being logical here.

Re: UNI Game Day Thread

In high school I played for a 9 man team that had several prior years as a power. The team I played on was undersized but quick and not expected to win. Everyone knew our playbook, Coach Ken was predictable. Still we were able to win games against so called better temas because we executed well. Our only losses were in games we didn't execute.

Point is SDSU out "executed" (read "played") UNI. That is what the better team does to win.

Something like midnight madness for basketball , except for the football program, hmmm....i like it!

Re: UNI Game Day Thread

Good link to the WCF Courier and those nice pics, JackguyII. The Courier also has a story posted today which shows Coach Farley and Josh Mahoney are a little more gracious in defeat. LINK

I was impressed with Mahoney as I was when I watched him in high school. The senior from Sioux Falls will be hard to replace next year.

No one -- and I mean no one-- comes into our house and pushes us around.

(That's unrelated to just about anything. I just like that they play that clip right before the game.)

Re: UNI Game Day Thread

Indeed. Living in West Iowa, the Iowa St win over Neb is a bonus.

Amen to that!

Like I said yesterday, his players can learn a lot from Coach Farley. Last quote from that article was SDSU played the entire 4 quarters.

Re: UNI Game Day Thread

Kudos to the Jacks. They outplayed one of the best teams in the conference. Very impressive. Victories like this should help funding as well as recruiting. Congratulations to everyone on and associated with the team.

That's a great clip. I also like the gladiator one, is that from 300?

Re: UNI Game Day Thread

Spoke with a UNI parent today. Was told that the Jacks would have trouble with SIU but, have a shot against the Gophs. Significant denial going on in Panther Land me thinks.
