Maine @ #3 Northern Iowa

Discuss

[bcrawf]

UNI got a much better draw this year as the 3 than we did last year as the #1. I like our shot to get to the semis...

[Mountain Panther]

We got a GREAT seed.

[nmatsen]

I hear that Maine makes a living off of running the ball, is this true?

I think that bodes well for us. I wish I was as confident for the flying saluki dogs that eat children. I think we will be facing CAA teams at home, all the way to Nooga.

[bainsey]

I hear that Maine makes a living off of running the ball, is this true?
Yes, the ground game is Maine's bread and butter. It's not that our guys can't complete a pass or two; it's just that our o-line is better at punching holes, and we have some strong, young (three freshmen) running backs.

I'll be eager to learn more about the depth charts and how each side matches up.

[igo4uni]

I'll be at the game in the fabulous UNI-Dome!!

[TITLEIST]

I just think it is great that all of the so called "experts" on this board didn't give UNI a chance in getting a seed. No respect given to UNI all year on these boards. Appy St deserves alot of respect given their past, I also think UNI deserves their fair share also...GO PANTHERS

I'm just glad they got a seed so that all of the UNI fans would just quiet down. The majority of them were just complaining all day yesterday about how the committee was gonna screw them and whining and now, they've got a #3 seed in the easier side of the bracket, no complaining necessary.

[DOME]

Dilema...my cousin wants me to go to Des Moines for his kid's 1st Bday party. Or should I skip and go to CF for the game?

just dont blitz with 7 seconds left.... and not looking ahead but revenge at the dome would be heaven

I understand, but it's tough to win in the fabulous UNI-Dome.

Here's hoping we both get there!

And here's hoping to three straight over the pussycats!

Oh yea when i come on here the first thing i notice is all the complaining UNI fans are doing.....GIVE ME A BREAK...take a look at the Montana,Cal Poly,east coast fans they dominate this site and were constantly "whining about their seed possibilities. UNI plays a tough schedule, has a history of winning, and doesn't run from the FBS teams.

UM and CP fans were making their cases for seeds. All UNI fans were doing yesterday was whining.

I know we would have played it close. Would we win, I have no idea, but our boys earned a shot yesterday!

Panther Fans are happy today. Looking forward to the road ahead, should be fun in the DOME make sure we fill the place!!!!!!!!!!!!

[gbhmt]

The funny thing is, all day yesterday I was hoping you or Villanova would get the #3 seed so we wouldn't have to be in the same bracket as ASU, but now I'm beginning to think that our situation now is worse. Ah well...

[LUfilmguy]

you think liberty would do better against UNI than maine would?
Unfair question. We wouldn't have been playing UNI if we were in. More than likely if we were in we would have been playing JMU Richmond or Wofford. All but JMU we have a shot at. and with the way we played against Elon... who knows who we could have beaten.

Well anyways, back to the subject of the thread.... Go Panthers.

[LUfilmguy]

Why is it wrong?.....I hated the guy.

A lot of people did. I wasn't a huge fan of some of his views but he was a good man none the less and i'm 99% sure you never met the guy. and seriously? ragging on a dead guy? really? way to show class man.

[UNI Pike]

I think that we stole a 3 seed. I'm happy, and I will take it, but I was thinking that Cal Poly was going to sneak in as the #4 (MT #3).

I also think Liberty got jobbed (biblically Job-ed?). Your program is heading in the right direction though.

It looks to be a matchup of stregth versus strength - Maine running vs UNI run def. I see that over the season Maine has run the ball 80% of the time. Should be interesting.

It looks like Maine's kicker is better on extra points that Cal Poly's but about the same on field goals. Advantage to UNI in that area.

They are a much better team than they were last year.

[PantherRob82]

They are a much better team than they were last year.

In what way? There were dang good last year.

[charliej]

Not sure I would say better,but they are more complete. I thought they lost some of the offensive fire power,but the running game has improved. Defense is MUCH better than it's been in seasons past.

[PantherRob82]

Great insight. We always have respect for the CAA teams.

[rcny46]

In every way.Toman doesn't have RS's ability to create something out of nothing-not yet anyway-but he is getting the job done.The defense,O line,running game and passing game as well as the kicking are all much improved.I might get some arguments from other UNH fans,but that's the way I see it.They have to get away from all the penalties though.They had three personal fouls and one unsportsmanlike in the first half Saturday,10 penalties overall.

[nutterlyattled]

UNI has a history of making games much closer than they are, this maine team reminds me of the unh team of last year, always close games, the scary thing about these types of teams are that you are never sure of how powerful they are, if maines defense shows up then they have a shot.

[bainsey]

Dear UNI,

Beat Maine by 40. That is all. Thanks

Liberty

Now now, commandment number ten covered that attitude.

[nutterlyattled]

In what way? There were dang good last year.

we actually can stop the run, we have been creating turnovers, our defense is a lot bigger, we have multiple running backs who are all different styles and all decent.

and Toman is very good, he can run up the field, he can pass short and long. his main problem is he either won't throw it away and take a bad sack, or he will throw it away and get picked, he could use work on his reads too. but those come with experiance and those things have all gotten much better throughout the season. unh football did not leave with santos, we are still playing good ball

[art vandelay]

Unfair question. We wouldn't have been playing UNI if we were in. More than likely if we were in we would have been playing JMU Richmond or Wofford. All but JMU we have a shot at. and with the way we played against Elon... who knows who we could have beaten.

fair enough Im not on one side or the other. I dont know enough about Liberty to make an educated guess.

[PantherRob82]

Are there more UNH or Maine fans on this thread? :D

[R3TRO]

Are there more UNH or Maine fans on this thread? :D

They don't have many members on this board (that I know of) plus they are fresh in our minds, we just played them.

CAA North love. xthumbsupx Unless we are playing them... then its a different story.

Maine could have the best running game (QB included) UNI has seen this season.Turcotte is impressive.,but they really can spread it around and have a good combination of power and speed.I think they were averaging 290+/game over their last 7 on the ground before the weather -and the UNH D- slowed them down Saturday.

I don't know. BYU has a pretty highly touted running back duo.

Nicholls State ran a triple option out of the wishbone and flex.

Western Illinois has one of the top running backs in the country.

South Dakota's QB was very mobile.

If you run 80 percent of the time, won't the yards eventually pile up?

[nutterlyattled]

noone wants to talk about the unh game, so why not :o


as usual unh fans leave after the excitment is over...

[art vandelay]

Yeah Maine's running game is good but im sure you have seen better. sounds like SIU is OK at the run and like you said BYU was obviously better. hopefuly not so good that we cant stop them.

[art vandelay]

no Im sure most UNH fans are on the east coast and asleep. not like the west coast UNH fans.

I'm east coast and not asleep... There's just nothing productive going on, on that thread so lets crash someone elses.

[art vandelay]

OH i miss the east coast

[crunifan]

If you guys are right, Maine has one week to learn to become a more efficient passing team, otherwise their stint in the playoffs will be short lived.

[rcny46]

If you run 80 percent of the time, won't the yards eventually pile up?

I have to admit that I forgot that you played BYU to start the season,and it is true that a team that runs as much as Maine will tend to get most of their yardage that way.

[nutterlyattled]

i am on the east coast as well, and feel very alone after halftime... season ticket fans stick around, but students arent willing to buy into football, i dont know why considering the success we have had in the past couple of years.

[nutterlyattled]

hows the weather supposed to be.... does it snow in the dome? ;) if so watch out for maine

[ValleyChamp]

I predict 72 degrees, no wind.

[crunifan]

Well, on the Maine website they have UNI and the Dome located in Cedar Rapids. So lets hope the team gets lost in CR and is forced to forfeit the game.

That's pretty hilarious. I can't believe it's written incorrectly on the team's website. But hey, "falls" and "rapids" are both qualities of water, so it's not an absurd mix-up.

I'm gonna go with 68 degrees. I think they might have turned the thermostat down a tad to save on heating costs. :p

I believe it was 68 in the dome at kickoff last time we had a home game. Oddly enough that was also against a Bear mascot.



Weather prediction:

Outside 34 degrees, winds out of the Northwest at 20 MPH

Inside 68 degrees, no wind......WELCOME TO THE DOME!

[bcrawf]

The last time Maine came out to Cedar Falls the Dome was MAYBE half full, we were coming out of the darkness of the Mike Dunbar era...

This time the place should be near full and rocking. Welcome to the Dome Black Bears!

Completely OT--If they are the Black Bears how come there is so much blue in the uniform??

[nmatsen]

I would love to meet up with some Maine fans in CF errr, CR this weekend.

yup. I remember hearing them announce 68, and it surprised me since it has always been announced as 72. And the official stats list the MSU game as having a 68 temperature.

Personally, I'd have no problem with them dropping the temp to 68. 'tis better to have it slightly cooler (though 68 is still plenty comfortable) than too warm. People can always wear a sweatshirt. Or better yet, keep warm by cheering! xthumbsupx

Plus, dropping the temp saves the university on heating costs.

[nmatsen]

Didn't I used to hear that TA would always crank the heat up to 78-79 degrees in the dome when teams like Maine would come in and play?

[clenz]

That would have been miserable to play in.

[Cap'n Cat]

Didn't I used to hear that TA would always crank the heat up to 78-79 degrees in the dome when teams like Maine would come in and play?


Mudra started doing that. Temp was in the low 80's though.

[bcrawf]

TA and Mudra also held practices indoors a helluva lot more than Farley does...

[clenz]

Does Farley ever practice indoors? With the exception of thunderstorms and blizzards of course

[bcrawf]

Very, Very rarely. Only when the weather makes the outdoor field unavailable or when it gets really cold in December...

[unigriff]

at least its not as bad as ESPN for the 2nd time in 3 years calling us Northern Illinois (NIU). Thats what really pisses me off.

[PantherRob82]

Same here. Not sure any are coming. :D

[PapaBear]

I will be there. I know of several Maine parents who are coming. Not sure yet what time we'll arrive. Still working on it.

Does Maine get an allocation of tickets?

[luflame15]

I hope Maine gets destroyed.

[nutterlyattled]

bd calm down, ive been advocating for maine as much as the next guy but jeez...

[UNHlund]

I'm rooting for Maine for the potential almost-home game for UNH--and to avoid horrific UNI flashbacks...

[nmatsen]

Farley practices inside when we play inside. Exception is during high school playoffs or when the team needs to "toughen up." He might practice outside one night a week if we are playing in the dome.

I would be suprised if they have been outside all week. Where are you getting your information from?

[PantherRob82]

I will be there. I know of several Maine parents who are coming. Not sure yet what time we'll arrive. Still working on it.

Does Maine get an allocation of tickets?

Yes, you do. Please let me know when you guys are coming if you'd like to get together.

[PantherRob82]

Maine practices and plays out doors, and northern Maine is friggen cold, these UNI pussies are going down to the tough Black Bears, Maine is from the CAA, what the frig is the Missouri valley conf? Real men play outside.The pansies I mean the panthers are gonna eat it.

That's what UNH said in 2005. How original. Also didn't work that way for Maine in 2001.

Armanti Edwards wished for me to pass this message along:

"Rhode Island's a state?"

[JayJ79]

Does Maine get an allocation of tickets?

From the NCAA playoff handbook:

An allotment of tickets will be reserved for the competing institutions. Each competing
institution will have access to 500 tickets. Not less than half of the tickets should be located
between the 30-yard lines unless undue hardship is caused to season ticket holders, which
must be indicated on the ticket manifest. Host institutions must reserve seats behind their
opponent’s bench for visiting spectators that shall be located somewhere between the 30-
yard lines. Further, the seats allocated for the visiting spectators shall start with the lowest
possible row to ensure that no home team spectators are located in front of the visiting
spectators. See the “Team Benches” section above for additional information.
The host institution or sponsoring agency will retain 250 of the 500 tickets, and the
competing institutions will be advised that they are available, if needed. Additional tickets
may be purchased, but the seat locations will not be guaranteed.
Each institution shall return all money and unsold tickets, and inform the host institution
or sponsoring agency of the number it will require from the 250 tickets being retained,
not later than 6 p.m. Thursday before the game. If the tickets are not returned to the host
institution or sponsoring agency by this time, the institution shall be responsible for all
unreturned tickets at face value. Once the competing institutions release the tickets being
retained, the host institution or sponsoring agency will use them for public sale.
The minimum ticket prices shall be $10 for reserved seating and $6 for general admission.
A $5 student general admission ticket, with student identification card, is permissible for
grade school, high-school and college students for first-round, quarterfinal and semifinal
games. All playoff tickets, however, shall not be less than the regular-season ticket prices
of the host institution.

Actually, I doubt any UNH poster in 2005 other than Travis said anything about UNI playing indoors. IIRC, it was mostly Delaware and other people saying that stuff. I think it was based on UNI's game in Newark a couple years earlier.

I know it is difficult, but can I please get some more information on this years Black Bears squad? Key players and style of offense and such. I should have watched their game against the Hawkeyes earlier in the year, but since I absolutely hate the black and gold team from and hour and a half south I didn't. So cue me in on this team.

I listened to their game against us, so I can't give you a whole lot of detail. It was also raining pretty hard throughout the game, so that was not cool either.

Cosgrove attempted two surprise onside kicks. One worked. One resulted in us getting some sort of crazy penalty and great field position. Led to our go-ahead score.

That's about all I got.

[jmufan999]

same as mcveyrl. listened to it, which doesn't tell you much.

all accounts are that they are solid on offense and defense, not stellar on either. solid.

but again, i didn't see them play. definitely a terrible weather game for JMU.

i picked UNI, just because i know they tend to get a good turnout at the dome. this one is tough to call.

I listened to their game against us, so I can't give you a whole lot of detail. It was also raining pretty hard throughout the game, so that was not cool either.

Cosgrove attempted two surprise onside kicks. One worked. One resulted in us getting some sort of crazy penalty and great field position. Led to our go-ahead score.

That's about all I got.

To add to this, I thought the onside kick was pretty risky, but Cosgrove, in his post game comments, essentially admitted that you've got to try some things like that when you're not as good as the other team. I'm sure that his perspective on his team has changed, but wouldn't be surprised if he tried the same type of stuff with you all.

I was only talking about AGS. xpeacex xpeacex xpeacex

BTW, I never did see that sheet because I was in the stands behind the wall where it would have been hanging. Doesn't surprise me though because I have often seen dumb things on the sheet hung before games.

Fair enough. The banner wasn't that bad. the little kids flipping us off and some of the student section chants were odd though. xthumbsupx xpeacex

wow did it really hurt your feelings that bad that it is still trmatic to this day? there is one of those hanging up for every game many people are aware of what they look like

I'm guessing that the peace sign meant it was a joke. We were treated terribly in new hampshire for the most part. Some cool fans, but for the most part is was a bad experience. not as much tramatic as odd and funny.
