[NU Sports] on non-league skeds (fwd)

[DPENDERG at aol.com]

Some months ago many of us looked at the 2006 non-conference sked (Miami,  
UNH, EMU, UNR) and reasonably anticipated 4-0 with a virtual lock on a  bowl.  
Now I really worry about Friday night in Reno against another good  QB who 
could make us 2-2 and probably end our post-season possibilities.   That is why I 
think this week's game could define the entire season,  something I hope that 
will motivate the coaches and players to elevate  their performance beyond 
what we saw the last two weeks.  If not, we lose  and a tough Big Ten schedule 
awaits.

Yeah, let's get those OTHER creampuffs back on the  schedule: Notre Dame, 
Kansas and Oklahoma.  

There are only 25  1-A teams that are 3-0 right now, I predict less than 
20 will make it to  4-0, and probably only 30 or so will be 3-1.  

I'd settle for  being in the top 50 heading into conference play most
years, and especially  this year.
