[NU Sports] good/better/bad news

[Jonathan Hodges]

The ABC coverage at noon next week is regional, although I do think
you are correct that our game will be the featured game (listed on top
of the rest of the regional games, if that means anything).  The
coverage map usually comes out on Monday or Tuesday.

On the bowl situation, if we do pick up one more win it virtually
guarantees NU a spot in at least the Music City or Sun bowls.  Right
now the 'Cats are one of 6 bowl eligible Big Ten teams.  There are 2
more needing one win (Michigan State, Iowa) who both face relatively
tough schedules the rest of the way (MSU faces PSU, Iowa faces
Wisconsin, and they both play Minnesota).  The fate of those 2 teams
plus Minnesota will have a bearing on where NU goes.  Most
importantly, though, the Wildcats can still have a good say in where
they go by picking up wins over the next 2 games.

Go 'Cats!!!
