[NU Sports] football and brains

[SjT (Stephen J. Truog)]

Well, I could see a silver lining there in that it would send us to Phoenix! An Insight Bowl vs. Kansas would be a fun game (I don't think anyone plays defense in the Big XII this year) and much better than an Alamo bid against Mizzou or playing Miami in Orlando.

I do think that we really wrecked Minny's confidence, though, with that last interception return. They just haven't had the swagger since.

Too bad we couldn't do it to MSU and send them into a self-doubting tailspin a few weeks earlier!

GO CATS!!!
