[NU Sports] A bowl too far?

[WildElk2 at aol.com]

Steven and list friends,
 
    It's muggy in Florida?  In York, pa. in January  it's 30 degrees on a 
good day...who cares if it's muggy in Orlando? 
   Good talk about our bowl wishes.  I had reservations for  4 days/3 nights 
in Nashville in 2004 when a Wildcat victory over Hawaii would  have gotten us 
there. :(
  I'm hoping for 9-3 and some how, South Carolina or Auburn getting  hot; we 
can hang with them and play in Tampa on New Year's Day, humidity  
withstanding. (Outback)  
  Of course, I want NU to finish 11-1, but I'm with Dennis;  USC  would 
corn-hole us good, and I don't relish playing Georgia, LSU or Florida,  especially 
in SEC country.  
  This post is all over the place; this is exciting!     I think we'll go 9-3 
this season, with losses to OSU, and stubbing our toe some  where else.  9-3 
gets us to Outback, Alamo, Capital One or Champs  Bowl.  I'm with the poster 
who said the best chance of success is in the  Champs Bowl vs. the ACC.  Who 
knows, maybe we'll revive the series vs. Wake  Forest?  
  Regardless,  this is turning into the type of season that we  all talked 
about during the long off-season.  The defense is much better,  and the offense 
has been rolling in the past 7 quarters; 68 points.  
  Indiana: Indiana has had a lot of problems this season,  starting with 
Kellen Lewis.  Lewis is their best player who's been plagued  by personal problems 
and an injured ankle.  They are now going through what  we went through in 
2006; the death of RW's close friend Terry Hoeppner.   They have no defense, 
which wasn't a surprise going into the 2008 season.   What has been a surprise 
has been IU's inability to score points in bunches, a  bit like us.  However, we 
have a defense, and I see NU establishing the  run, playing field position, 
and trying to "impose our will" on these  guys.
  This one is for the linemen on both sides of the ball.  We  control both in 
grinding out a 38-17 win.  
  Man, I love when the Cats are hot!
 
          GO  CATS!!   Loyal NU "athletic supporter" since 1978:)     Eric
