Northern Iowa (11/7/23)

I have an NIL t shirt idea someone can steal. Since our leaders A.Scott and Rubin are from the Houston area and Coach's name is Hodge. A shirt with them and "Boss Hodge Outlaws" would be cool. A play on the "Boss Hogg Outlawz" group from Houston.

My biggest complaint was that my popcorn was stale, and they put too much salt 

For real?

The pretzel I got was pretty bad also, definitely not hot, 2/10

Uhh, I've been to a hundred basketball games. There is a gigantic ass parking lot right across the street from the arena. Wth are you talking about? Has the urban shrub architect taken over your account? 

You must not have been there last night. For edification review the parking topic that has been started.

I had a false memory that Stone grabbed a board last night.  Guess he didn't.

Didn’t find it. 😞

Update: the Varsity Network is having some problems. Game should be up when system is resolved. Hopefully this includes the postgame.

Cold pretzel is better pretzel.

Which was full and on one section people were ticket for parking anyway…. Open spots near that intersection of Bonnie brae though. That’s a bit of a walk for season ticket holders.

Definitely something going on with parking last night.  Lot across from Pit was full.  I continued around the back of the old athletics buildings (Fouts site) and they gave me a parking ticket.  Didn't see anything saying I needed any kind of permit to park there.

Yeah has been before just last few seasons. I’m assuming that @NorthTexasWeLove dude hasn’t been to a game in a few years and wasn’t at the game where people had to walk far or het a parking ticket….

Just... dead wrong.

Odd because people who were actually at the game would disagree but ok 🙃

to be fair we are all sick tonight so not at the game. Maybe they addressed the issue, but it seemed more students are using it and the section by the dorms is being monitored. We have a parking pass off the street so we can walk right in, but others already  commented on the issue and we say it driving up. 

In the 90s even with Fours there you could see plenty of parking for all night basketball games. Students have probably affected this but last year was noticeable for sure and last game was awful.

UNI beat D-lll Loras tonight 90-50. 

The announcers mentioned a few times about their tough game against a good North Texas team...

Looks like Northern Iowa is tied up with North Carolina right now on ESPN 

UNI is now up by 6 on #14 UNC

I wasn't gonna post about this game so early, since I want to avoid a jinx.  But since others already did, UNI looking really good!
