So, the UMR Football team won their season opener against Upper Iowa tonight 42-7. What do you think? I believe this is the first football win in at least 2 years. Isolated incident, or do you think this'll happen again?


GO MINERS!

I thought it was sweet! Suprised the hell out of me that we were able to beat the Upper Iowa Peacocks

Anyway...hopefully we can win against Truman next.

We won the opening game in 2001 and 2002, and none in 2003

An amazing game tonight, so cool. We almost shut them out too, they barely scored their 1 TD, with like 5sec left in the 1st half. Hope we can win another game.

I definitely like the part where WE got to invoke the mercy rule, for once.

How crappy must that Iowa team have been?

Oh well, a win is a win, Go Miners!

(Wow, the previous sentence is the most school spirit I've shown since being here.)

We won 2 in 2001 and none in 2002 or 2003

Have two guys on the team in my Edu 40 class, and they both promised at least four games. Let's see if the Miner's can keep up this winning streak.

I know you can't call one game a streak, really, but hey, it's the MINER's and they won a game. Gotta give them something special for it.

it wont probably wont happen again because upper iowa used to be D3, however if it does we are tearing down the goal post...i wanted to tonight but noone was with me...something about having to pay for it

This sounds more accurate, at least in respect to home games. As a marching band member for the past two years, and having been to all the home games, this is the only win I've ever actually seen the Miners, well, win.

42 is such a great number.

We have a football team?

A victory for seek42 as well, then! Did we stop scoring after 42 on purpose?

Wow, just realized it, thanks to that AC. Is odd, ya know, 42. Must be some sort of universal thing, trying to tell us that the Miners might do ~gasp~ well this season.

Please edit your post.


Northern Iowa /= Upper Iowa.


No offense to anyone, but Northern Iowa would wipe the floor with the Miners. They are a perenial DI-AA football powerhouse and are probably a contender for the DI-AA title.


That post almost gave me a heart attack.


FYI Northren Iowa = Alma Mater of Kurt Warner.

Eh, Kurt Warner's a diva-wannabe. I am suprised any team took him. Still isn't going to start
