UNI has won 3 of its last 8 games against ISU, all in Ames. And had other extremely close games. Doesn't sound like a fluke to me. They would give Iowa serious trouble this year if they had the shot.

UNI Football Adds Three More Television Games :: The Panthers will now be on TV six times in 2007.
other 1AA teams may request more money than UNI does, and we wont get near the crowd. The top two crowds in the history of Iowa State football are against UNI. That is HUGE money!
We are already scheduled to play them in 2010, 2011, 2013, 2015

All NCAA schools are allowed to play in an overseas tournament in the summer once every 4 years. UNI hadn't played overseas since Australia 4 years ago so they were eligible. They still had to follow NCAA rules which restricted them to having only 10 practices before these games. The teams...
Mckowen and Stout will be playing. They won't start however as they want to develope their starting line up for the upcoming season. They've had some guys banged up and if they play incoming freshman then they can't redshirt so they need the depth.
