    UNI Game Thoughts

    Yeah, that’s not entirely unfair. But some of what puts ISU above UNI (and pretty much every FCS team) is depth and lack of depth doesn’t hurt as bad early in the season. We have legit NFL guys, too. ISU has 8 active NFL players, UNI has 6. David Johnson grew up in Iowa; excellent players get...

    UNI Game Thoughts

    UNI fan, here. Obviously I wanted a win, but given the line and ISU's rating, I have to be content. seems like you all aren’t happy with the win. I think UNI deserves more respect than that, but whatever. At least you didn’t rush the field after the win like Kansas did after beating South...

    What are you drinking tonight?

    I made a bottle of Whisky-cello. I also invented it. Poured half a bottle of Bulliett Rye into another bottle. Put in the rinds of an organic orange. Left in cupboard for 3wks. Added simple syrup I made with Demerera sugar. It’s very sweet. So now I mix it with the Rye.

    Xavier Foster Committed To Iowa State

    Hey, just stopping by to clear up that I don't think Henry is better than Foster - or that he will be better than Foster in college or beyond. ( I think it might have been my comment that was interpreted this way. ) Maybe he did. So did Flo Hyman, who died of it during a volleyball match at age 31.

    Xavier Foster Committed To Iowa State

    Certainly when Xavier and Cole played together, Cole had better stats and eye test, from what I have heard. Statements like, “If you told me there was a four star recruit on the floor I’d have said it was Cole.” BUT- that type of performance in high school doesn’t always translate to D1 college...

    Best Sportscaster in Iowa

    I can’t stand it every time a player subs out, Dolph says he “needs a blow.”

    Leave it to California

    Hmmmm. If a student has the right to make money off of his name and likeness, then his school would be unable to sell his jersey without his permission. Since schools are making money from these sales, they will be among the first to pay players.

    Why do we even play UNI anymore?

    Well. That’s very different. Never mind.

    Why do we even play UNI anymore?

    SDSU is higher ranked than UNI (#4, #20 in Coaches Poll). Maybe a good reason is that if you have an off game against UNI as your first game, you still might end up with a W.

    *** Official UNI VS IOWA STATE Game(Day) Thread ***

    Panther fan here... Your Cyclones effectively shut down our run game. Put us in a situation where to win, we needed: - Very strong defense that forces punts and at some point scores (which we were fortunate enough to have had) - Some offensive points out of two ~50 yard field goals (which...

    I find this idea of loyalty interesting. I'm a UNI Panther fan. I root for UNI, am a multi-sport season ticket holder (and user!), and give quite a bit of $$ each year. I do that because I live in CF and I like supporting the home team. If I moved to Ames, I would likely do the same for ISU...

    Basketball Rule Changes?

    I think they should just count a kids full scholarship time. So Schools won't prosper by one-and-done's. If a kids comes, you're committed to him for 4 years of scholarship time. If he leaves early, he still "counts" toward your scholarship limit.

    My favorite obscure: negroni. Favorite non-obscure: old fashioned.

    *** Official Northern Iowa Vs IOWA STATE Gameday Thread ***

    Ugh. Good game, Cyclones. Too bad we went cold from three. (Actually we were pretty cold from three the whole game.) ISU guards did a great job passing and getting the paint in the second half. Not what I was hoping for, but a good showing against a great team. Go beat the Big12!

    PREVIEW: Three things on Iowa State-Northern Iowa

    This bodes well for UNI. I do no believe ISU will dictate a fast tempo against UNI. UNI's average Possessions/Game: 67.6 ISU's average Possessions/Game: 72.8 UNI's Opponents ave Poss/Game: 74.1

    PREVIEW: Three things on Iowa State-Northern Iowa

    We [UNI] have actually seen a lot of Full Court Press this year. Should be fine.

    It's time for the Hyvee Classic to die

    I think that Home-Home series with both is good for the State of Iowa. But admittedly it wouldn't be in ISU or Iowa's interest. Well, financially not in their interest. RPI-wise (if that metric matters at this point), it's in ISU's interest. As opposed to beating Iowa this year hurt ISU's RPI...

    UNI vs. ISU - thoughts/predictions?

    I agree. And that's what I'm talking about. In football, you can have incomplete passes because a QB keeps overthrowing his target or just stands there with the ball. Kinda boring. Or you can have incomplete passes because of brilliant defensive effort by a CB. So... Which is UNI doing? When...

    UNI vs. ISU - thoughts/predictions?

    DEFENSE: Yeah, one thing I've found interesting - and I've been chastised saying it here at CF for it - is that the VAST majority of viewers do not understand what is happening on defense. 1. Two times this season during UNI games I've heard one announcer ask the other announcer to explain what...
