Couldn’t you post this in the Quick Lane post.
Oh, my bad. I didn't see it. Maybe it can be deleted. I should have looked for the game thread. My bad.
And we got crushed by Michigan, who got crushed by OSU, who we almost beat. So . . .
They also beat Wisconsin, so a hierarchy is developed by h2h. They fired their DC and then beat Wisconsin and Purdue. Think what you wish. We lost to both. Minnesota is a physical team the Huskers can't take as an automatic win.
Minnesota concerns me a bit long term, as Lon as Fleck is there. He can recruit. He’s recruited better than recent previous coaches at Minnesota except maybe Mason, better than Iowa, Wisconsin... if they get good coaching they could be our toughest out year in and year out.
On the other hand, it’s minnesota.
So I’m conflicted.

I believe the West will go down to the last few games next year. We'll eventually put our boot on the throat of the West, but it will be fun.
We beat Minnesota by 25. And I think we could have beaten both Wisconsin and Purdue at the end of the season too. They would have lost to both had they played them when we played them too. Minnesota was playing better at the end of the season and so were we.
Minnesota and we were playing better at the end of the season. I was just replying to those who dismiss Minnesota. If you are objective, I like how they ended their season better than the Huskers.
I just think they look like a good team. Merry Christmas to you also.I was in Bahrain for multiple Christmas' so I have a thing for holidays. I'm all about family during the holidays.
Happy New Year!
I'm always amazed that the main character was Danny Noonan and he was trying to go to NU.
There had to be some connection somehow.
It was a matter of who they played when. It also depends on what your parameter is to say "ended the season". We were 4-2 in the 2nd half of the season with the only 2 losses two close games on the road. They had 2 good games at the end of the season sandwiched around a 10 point loss to Northwestern but before that they had blowout losses to us and Illinois. What we did to them was no fluke either. Who improved more from the beginning to the end? I'd say us.
NU shouldn’t act like they are a directional school, but NU should never lose to them
