The game at OSU on Sunday is probably our toughest remaining game and I am hoping for but not expecting a win. The next game is at PSU. We must win one of those two games.

That would put us at 5-5 with 8 to go.

5 remaining Home Games:
Mich
Wisc
Indiana
Purdue
Iowa

3 remaining Road Games:
Northwestern
Illinois
Mich

Win 5 of 8 and we are on the bubble with BTT coming up.
Win 6 of 8 and I think we are in.

Late season run anyone?

I'm already cringing thinking about the game in Happy Valley. The Nitts are going to be winless heading into that game, while the Gophers (assuming a loss to OSU) will pretty much have their fading NCAA hopes on the line. I plan on having plenty of Alka Seltzer nearby for that one. Gophers don't exactly have a history of winning games "they should" on the the road.

You'd think Battle will explode eventually and they'll win a game, but who knows. He's exploded before and they have still lost, so maybe they can go winless
