I think we can talk at the end of the season about the Walker legacy and  
this season's outcome.  My immediate concern is that we occupied the  national 
stage against one of the country's legendary football programs and  did not 
seize the moment.  I, frankly, was not overly impressed by  Michigan.  They're 
good but not close to some of the great teams they have  had in the past.  With 
an offensive performance comparable to what we've  seen earlier, the Cats could 
have won that game but their unfocused play  (penalties, turnovers, sloppy 
blocking/tackling, bad or dropped passes) just  handed the game to the Wolves.  
I think we lost it more than they won  it.  How much was letdown after MSU or 
poor preparation by coaches and  players is hard to say, but it was very 
disappointing to any Wildcat fan who  knows we can play much better.
 
The big question for the so-called Walker Legacy is how we handle this loss  
and play against Iowa next Saturday.  It will be again another winnable  game, 
but no one knows which Wildcat team will show up.
