Terry,
Congratulations on your win over Baylor. My Tigers go there this weekend...hope your Huskers didn't make them too mad. We need to win out to play for the Big 12 Championship in KC. I'd like another shot at Texas.

I don't think the Tigers will have much trouble with Baylor, although I do think that Baylor is stronger this year than a lot of people are giving them credit for. We'll be able to gauge it better after we see how bad Mizzou beats them!

The demise of the Michigan football program is amazing. I can't believe what I see. When Coach Bo left a few years ago I said then that the Michigan job was the worst job in College football just because the expectations were so high. I had no idea it would get this bad.
You'll enjoy some big time pay back on Nov 22nd....

Yeah. The lofty expectation of winning a meaningless Big 11 title, and losing yet another Rose Bowl.
It sucks, I was expecting a down season but nothing this bad. Most other major programs go through these down turns much more often than us. Its been roughly 40 years thats an impressive streak.
If this is what it takes to move us up another level I can be patient and play for the fake championship every year than ok.
Losing to Notre Dame and MSU in the same season is bad enough but looking at OSU and possible...ok ok likely (just don't tell teri) losing to all 3 in the smae season doesn't sit well.

I certainly understand PJ. Us Mizzou fans were long suffering. Our last great years were in the 70's. We had some good years with Coach Larry Smith in the 90's, but we really didn't turn the corner until Gary Pinkel came to town. These are the best days in our program since Dan Devine took us to the Orange Bowl in '69. We lost that game to Penn State.
Keep your head up. I'm sure it won't be long before the Wolverines are back in the hunt.

Speaking of long suffering fans, my Minnesota Golden Gophers have quietly become an opponent worthy of respect. Their defense has vastly improved from the sieve fielded last year, leading the nation in takeaways. The offense has also improved and this team, which went 1-11 last year in coach Tim Brewster's first season, suddenly finds themselves ranked in the Top 20. The conference road games have typically been a chamber of horrors but they played well in victories over Illinois and Purdue. Granted, they lost to Ohio State, but the 34-21 loss was not as bad as would normally be expected. Are they ready to contend for the Big Ten title? Not this season, and there's always OSU and Big Blue that tend to dominate, but it seems the Gophers are moving in the right direction.

Once Rich Rod gets 1 season under his belt, I think fans will be excited about the turnaround in Ann Arbor. I'm not saying 11-1, but this will progress in the positive direction.

I agree.
I actually hope he buries all the historical fluff, for good.
It's time for that University to forget about the mediocre dead guy.
