Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Iowa are as winnable as they've been in a long time. if we go 0-3 against them, that's a terrible look.
I agree somewhat.
Once again, it would depend on how we lose. I hate making the same excuses new coach after new coach, but it isn't Mickey's fault the roster is what it is. And it isn't Mickey's fault that instead of coaching his team during all off-season (and in-season) practices, Frost was too busy
not coaching or preparing the team - and
too busy getting hamboned at the country club, shooting wildlife in the face, etc.
At the same time, I have a hard time believing our talent is as depleted as many believe - that is to say if we give any credence to the recruiting services' rankings.
