    Iowans have done their state proud

    That is completely and utterly wrong. You come to Cedar Rapids and look downtown. At the US Cellular Center, Public Library, National Czech and Slovak Museum, Science Station, and just at people's homes and businesses. Just because everyone didn't lose their house doesn't mean they weren't...

    Drake Next Season

    I highly doubt it, with the classes Creighton and SIU have coming in, they should be heavy favorites. I do expect Drake to finish top 5 though.

    Troy Dannen hired at UNI

    That is exactly the problem, Hartzell's requests were not that outlandish. So to let him go after all that he has done (from hiring successful coaches like McDermott and Farley to making the McLeod Center a reality) was foolish. Many Panther fans are afraid they hired Dannen because he was...

    Troy Dannen hired at UNI

    All I can tell you is that UNI fans are definitely upset with this choice. From Hartzell leaving UNI, to them hiring the only candidate without prior Athletic Department experience, our administration is in more trouble than we thought. :no:

    Why do Iowa Fans Hate Jamie Pollard so much?

    I think you may be thinking about the Greg McDermott billboard, "I chose to be a Cyclone, how about you?" There was one above the Petco/Blockbuster area across from Lindale Mall. As a UNI fan I remember that one very well...:no:

    Why do Iowa Fans Hate Jamie Pollard so much?

    I see what you mean, because as the state's second largest city, Iowa State has every right (and by every means SHOULD) try to tap that market as much as possible. In fact, I believe Iowa State really needs to try and get more exposure in the eastern part of the state, since it is far more...

    Two things I miss about Iowa State

    Oregon State is an exception in that they are in the Pacific Northwest. If you have ever been there, you would know that it never gets too cold there, due to the ocean. Since Corvallis, OR is very close to the ocean it stays around 50 degrees in the winter. Hence cold weather is not an issue...

    Two things I miss about Iowa State

    I see both aspects of the baseball argument. UNI has baseball, and as a Panther fan I wouldn't be against axing baseball in favor of putting that money towards football or basketball. But, I feel that UNI's struggle in financing baseball comes from the lack of an on-campus stadium (what...

    Why do Iowa Fans Hate Jamie Pollard so much?

    As a UNI fan, I slightly understand the distaste towards Pollard. I think he seems to be a pretty arrogant individual. At least he comes off that way in interviews. And from a Panthers perspective, it is pretty irritating how he treats UNI. Especially trying to get rid of home games for...

    Why do Central Iowa high schools suck at tourney time?

    It's no surprise that Cedar Rapids/Iowa City have the best athletics in the state. They easily have the best AAU and other training programs for younger kids. In fact, I believe Sports Illustrated honored Cedar Rapids a few years ago for having outstanding sports programs for kids.

    UNI Football Players Arrested For Rioting

    I like how the school that keeps players like Mike Taylor on until he commits his third crime is making fun of Iowa let alone UNI and Drake.

    MVC Bias

    MVC teams are given much lower seeds than their BCS league counterparts. A 4 loss Drake team will probably be around a 7 seed. A 4 loss BCS team can fight for a 1-2 seed. It makes things a little harder when you are placed in a position to lose. And since when did the Final Four become the...

    Lack of high major D1 talent in DM

    I have noticed that in basketball the best teams are generally from the east. This year the top teams are undoubtedly Iowa City High, Cedar Rapids Kennedy, Davenport Central, and Linn-Mar. In fact the Mississippi Valley has been pretty dominant the past 5 years or so. Linn-Mar alone has...

    Pre Jamie Pollard versus Now

    My views on Jamie Pollard are pretty mixed. As a UNI fan I truly admire his passion for ISU Athletics. You can tell he truly believes Iowa State has the talent, the ambition, and the ability to become a big time program (notably in football). Also, he has made some great hires (I'm still mad...

    Could this be true?

    At least in the eastern portion of the state, Iowa State is viewed as the school to go to if you want to be an engineer, veterinarian, or ag related field. UNI is the school for teachers, music, and accountants. Iowa is the school for...everything else. I think the main reason for...

    Could this be true?

    Like a poster previously said, the reason so many Chicago kids go to Iowa is due to similar tuition costs. All three state schools are all on equal academic levels as far as entrance requirements are concerned. Top half of your class and you are basically guaranteed in.

    MVC Bias

    The MVC is a quality league that doesn't get the respect it deserves. There are many characteristics that set the MVC apart from other "mid-major" conferences, mainly coaches salaries, modern arenas, and dedicated fan bases. Several Valley coaches get $750,000 annual salaries. Unheard of for...
