    I agree win or lose there is no pressure to win the Big 12 North but I 
believe there is a certain pressure to win.  Counting the Big 12 
Championship game NU could end the season 10-3, 9-4, or 8-5.  I hope we can 
but I doubt we beat Texas so we will probably end the season 9-4 or 8-5.  I 
may be wrong but I believe 9-3 would get us a lot better bowl than 8-4.  I 
know it is only one less loss but it seems to go that way.  If we COULD beat 
Texas and be 10-3 with a Big 12 championship we probably get a marquis bowl. 
The Big 12 North isn't a stake anymore but I believe there is still quite a 
little at stake.  We just flat cannot lose to Colorado.
