This looks like a difficult task but the opportunities are still in front of us. I say it isn't impossible that we could be 7-5 when we face Bucky Badger at the Barn. Admittedly that is a pretty rosy scenario based on results to date.

In any case, the opportunities still exist. All the nails are not yet in the coffin! :)

On the other hand, losing to Northwestern at home on Tuesday would be a nail gun burst into that coffin lid. The margin for error for our lads is getting pretty small. :(
