Wow....UNI just upset Kansas....bet NOBODY had that in their bracket~!

Yep, watched the whole game plus the 97 commercials. Will be pulling for UNI the rest of the way. For those that might not remember, a couple of carloads of students from UNI - at their own expense - came down to UCA after the shootings on campus to show their support and offer their sympathies for the tragedy on our campus. Only school that I know of that did that.

that was Northern Illinois, not Northern Iowa.

Northern Iowa students only drive down to run corn whiskey.

I stand corrected. My informant was wrong. :oops:

run corn whiskey

Good enough reason to still pull for them.

UNI shows what can be done at a "FBS" school in basketball.....not only very good football program but pretty good in lots of areas plus a very good school....

Sorry...fingers not in sync with brain while typing.....of course, UNI is a FCS program....

FCS, FBS, BCS..and any other designation belongs to football.

Division I is the only title equated to basketball and any other sport in the NCAA.

What do the letters FBS stand for? :shock:

It doesn't apply to a school or any other sport besides football. :mrgreen:

If i'm wrong, please somebody tell me! :?:

You are correct but believe me that the powers that be still see schools like UNI as "FCS" in baskteball. I have even heard ESPN mouths refer to some teams as not being FBS...of course, then there was the national sports talk guy who referred to UC-Davis as a "small school"....only 35,000 students but what the heck....guess Texas State fits that also......
