[NU Sports] Early Bowl Predictions

[WildElk2 at aol.com]

As one poster pointed out, we're 2-8 in the last 10 against Purdue.  It seems 
that Tiller is stellar defending the spread (before 2000 it was only  because 
we were bad 97-99!) and usually has some sort of marvelous QB calling  the 
shots.
   Of course, I'd like to win the remaining 6 games on the  schedule, but I 
believe we'll beat Ill-noise,  but fall short against our  old buddy Tiller.
   Prediction time: First of all, I think the fans of Minnesota  may be 
thinking about NDSt., but I bet U of M.'s players aren't.  I'm sure  the 1500,1600 
yards we've amassed in the last three games has got their  attention.
Thanks Joe T. for reminding us of Coach B's house-cleaning at the beginning  
of the season.
   I was pissed for Mason's firing; it reminded me of the  discussion that 
went on on this list concerning RW's 6,7 win seasons.  As  was the case of 
Mason, I'm not sure that some sort of Shula/Lombardi/Rockne  clone could get more 
out of either program.
   With that said,  Coach B. is in a house-cleaning year  with many problems 
to fix.  The fact that Pinnix has been hurt , although  not as bad as Sutton, 
made their situation worse.  As usual, our defense  will keep this game close, 
but as long as we hold on to the ball, we'll have  little difficulty 
tomorrow.  CATS 38  GOEPHS 24.
 
   Let's git' er  done!             Eric
