The Panther football team opens its season this Saturday (Aug. 30) when the Panthers travel to take on Brigham Young University. "We're excited about our new partnernship with Stretch Internet," UNI director of athletics Troy Dannen said. "The Panthers have fans all across the nation, and we want to provide them the best possible opportunity to follow all the UNI action when they can't be there in person." In addition to live events, "UNI GameDay Online" will also carry UNI weekly coaches shows and selected post-game press conferences, and other value-added items such as team highlight videos. To sign up, fans can go to www.unipanthers.com and click on the "UNI GameDay Online" link. Panther fans who have signed up in the past for All-Access will need to subscribe to this new service through Stretch Internet.
