How awesome would it be to play either LSU or Oklahoma in a bowl game? Could you imagine 3 years ago when Kill took over playing one of those heavyweights in a bowl game? Pretty unbelievable.

Still hovering just below the AP poll.

And this team hasn't yet cracked the AP Top 25.

Yeah people forget that there was a brief time there when it appeared that Brewster might indeed turn it around...didn't last long. Brewster's first two years mirrored Kills'. But after a real good start to the 2nd season and cracking the AP top 25 I don't think they won another game that year.

They never really recovered and in a couple of years he was gone.

Killl on the other hand appears to still be building momentum.

After next weekend I think we have a pretty good chance of making the BCS top 25.
- #21 Louisville plays a decent 7-2 Houston team
- #24 Texas plays #12 Oklahoma State
- #25 Georgia plays at #7 Auburn

If any of those twenty-something teams lose, they will drop out. The Gophers and/or Mississippi look like the next team to jump in.


8-2 is better than nearly everyone expected. Hard not to be happy with that. But I'm not sure we are quite ready for primetime yet. Wisc and Mich State might still be a little much. Same goes for an LSU or Oklahoma type in a bowl game.

I kind of hope we play in the Heart of Dallas bowl. It's a New Years day game and I want a bowl win this year. Appears to be B1G #7 vs Conference USA. Might be Marshall or North Texas which is a game we can win.

Missed it. But did you see the end of regulation in the Northwestern/Michigan game?? I've NEVER seen that before...with the FG team running onto the field and kicking the game-tying FG with 1 second left....and it was AMAZING they got the right guys out there. The holder came sliding in. Epic. I feel bad for Northwestern. Snake-bitten team this year. They had that one. Was pulling for them in OT, but couldn't do much. Michigan won. Amazing game!

Really hope the Gophs give Wisco a game on Saturday.  That team is good.  There wouldn't be any shame in losing, but I at least want a good game.

Need decent showings in these next couple. Get blown out badly will not be a good thing.

Agree.  Most worried about the Wisco game.  I think our defense will be fine against Michigan State (at least, enough so that the game isn't a blowout); not convinced about this weekend, though.

Even with two losses, it would still be a season that showed progress…slow creeping progress. But one more big win catapults the season to another level.
