The year the Alamo Bowl took Michigan State over us, who played Nebraska (Big 12) 2003 with a lesser overall record, but they did beat us head to head and the same conference record- We were rewarded with the fact that they played what was ranked as the worst bowl of the that bowl season, a...

If we show up and play football ala Nebraska, the game will be fun to watch, and we should be able to give some reps to younger players who didn't see the field too much without burning eligibility. If we look at the metrics, decide we should win, show up, and play to let them make mistakes...

Plus, no one wants to listen to Screamin' Gus Johnson and Joel Klatt reciting PR clips from the programs are often at odds with reality, blithering about everything except what is happening on the field, and trying to hype every play and player as the best of the year. Now slap that on "marquee"...

To me, the really poor showing on the field this year (not in the win/loss column) was disappointing primarily because there was zero reason the team that curb stomped Nebraska couldn't have played more competitively for 60 minutes against Michigan State and Purdue. Nebraska, for all their flaws...

Agreed. All the reps Drake got in last year's bowl game, even though they were depleted made a huge difference this year.

They will be the best opponent we've faced in a bowl since Auburn. With changes to the timing of the portal and the fact that they'll be driven to prove they belong, this will be a much better game than our last three bowl games. I hope.

Only place I see that is CBS Sports, which historically made picks on what they think is interesting - A Minnesota v. Western Michigan is certain to garner more attention than it would deserve. If Northwestern somehow gets the Rate I'm holding out hope that the SEC doesn't fill all its spots...

Its cute you think anybody in the B1G listens to Coyle. Or can understand him for that matter.

Don't count your chickens before they hatch. We haven't been announced for a bowl yet.

Dungy's not going to take the job?

Fix the mess on the OL, and a lot of the other problems disappear (or at least minimized). The O line played it's best game against Nebraska. Nebraska were overrated, but their D was statistically the best team we beat in conference.

I vote we play all of the games and see what happens.

The B1G's rules are pretty limited on it. This is from an article last year, and covers all sports (so it may be different today, but I'm sure after the Nebraska game, if it was different, that would have been a source cited by the whiners: Big Ten: A discretionary fine can result on a third...

This is Fleck's best class at Minnesota. Nicely done, keeping all of the top-rated guys who committed (outside of the last month to sign). I think we're still waiting on the JUCO? Currently the 8th best class in the B1G. 24th in the country.

He wasn't. I was wrong. I didn't break down the film and was reacting to what I thought I saw on Saturday, which clearly was wrong.

And I'm sorry you think I'm an idiot.

Fair, you said we should be disappointed which I took to mean you believe we should be 7-0. And no, I don't post under any other name. But since you're asking, you're not Heather, are you?

So, beating #2 Penn State, on the road, giving PSU their first loss of the season, A PSU team that beat teams ranked #4, #8, #18, #16 teams before we played them, lost to the #16, and #15 teams, after we beat them, before shutting out #18 Texas A&M in their bowl and finishing the season at #11...

So, is this a "bit" like your 10-2 post? or do you honestly believe we'll be 7-0 at home next year? Just want to make sure I understand what I'm reading correctly. We'll have to wait and see what rosters look like to really know, but 5-2 looks possible. So does 4-3. Better than that doesn't...

Yes. Lots of things give me joy. I enjoy rooting for my Alma Mater every Saturday in the fall. We're 7-5 and going to a bowl. We beat Wisconsin. Some things I really enjoyed this year: Drake Lindsey's play and promise. The kid can play. The Nebraska Game - the only game we showed up for four...
