[NU Sports] NCAA Football 2009

I don't know whether this was meant in jest, but Kinnick is well uphill from the river.

The west side Grand Avenue is a fairly steep hill to the stadium.  The other side(east) of the river is where most of the low lying buildings are.

My brother taught in the pharmacy school and I remember trudging up that hill as a summer computer intern/tech.

As long as the loss isn't at Duke I can handle 3-1, though this may (finally)
be the year they go 4-0.

I think Illinois is going to be a big dog in the Big 10 again next year, 
Iowa is likely to be a more winnable game, I'm starting to hear grumblings
from Iowa fans about their "can't win consistently" coach and the Cats
have played well in Iowa City.  (Is the visitors locker room still pink?)

Indiana, MSU and Purdue are all big question marks, Michigan is the real 
wild card.  They've got talent coming out their ears, but how will their 
new coach use it?  

I think 4-4 is a more likely mark out of the conference season, with wins 
against PU, IU, Iowa and Minny and MAYBE an upset against MSU or a 
late-season major bowl spoiler win against Illinois. By November Michigan
will have its act together, no win in the Big House for the Cats this year. 

7-5 should be enough for a winnable bowl game this year.
