I know it is a long time ago but we should never have lost that game. If we had won we would be 4-4 with a very good shot at a winning record and a bowl game. We can still get a bowl game but we must win over Maryland, at Indiana and Michigan State. That will not be easy. I said at that time that I hoped this loss wouldn't come back to bite us. It should never have happened. We are improving but at this point a bowl game would really show improvement.

You are right, it was a long time ago.

Time to build a bridge and get over it.

Have you given up on the PSU game? I'd rather win that than go to a low level bowl.

Look at it this way...a month ago, the EMU game impacting our season wasn’t even a thought. The fact that it now might is improvement.

Jesus christ. Is this going to be brought up every week. This has been discussed to death. Move on. Are you going to start the weekly Jonathan Taylor thread too?

If it prevents us from a bowl and another month of practice yes it will.

Don't fret the negative comments, its an OK and harmless thought.

we are what our record says it is....in a way the team learned bigly from that loss, it was a necessary loss in the development of the team mentally

Stop with the moaning over EMU... we lost... it ain’t changing...we can get to 4 and perhaps 5 but ghat is a long shot at best.

That loss sucked. EMU has one other win. We know.

But unless we get to five wins, I will not ever, ever, ever think about that game again.

Maryland just beat Indiana and MSU lost. Lots of winnable games. Loss may haunt us.

If we beat Maryland and Indiana then all will be forgotten because we will be bowling at 5-7

Don’t think that’s a guarantee. It’s based off of APR and didn’t ours drop a lot the past year? Also, that would also depend on there not being enough 6 win teams to fill the bowls

EMU is the best 1-6 team in the nation. I made a whole thread extolling the virtues of EMU to stop these nonsensical threads. RU had a quality loss that day.

Surely you jest.

EMU is a bad team. Not going to any Bowl this year.
