[NU Sports] BEAT SPARTY!!!

[Roy S. Lamberton]

The best thing for the Cats next week is for Sparty to figure we're "just another Indy" on
their way to the title game.

The worse thing for the Cats is that idea is true.

November to Remember isn't quite done yet - we need a "turkey" from Sparty, then Fitz will
have his N2R. 

All that PSU talk will only serve to get NU to start really planning for that lakefront
practice facility for the football team, but does that mean ALL of the athletic dept moves
over there? What about the new educational support building or does Central Ave. remain
Baseball/Softball/Basketball....

Of course they keep hoping for a lakefront football stadium....

Correction - OSU can't win the division anymore. Forgot about that Purdue loss. Smug Smirk
vs. PSU for the east title.

But still a lot for OSU to play for with the Michigan game and the Michigan streak. You
know they'd love to spoil Big Blue's B(C)S hopes.

GO CATS!!!

OK, we owe MSU for the last few years ... and they won't have as much to play for now that
they won the division. Let's come out on fire and keep it up for four quarters and BEAT
SPARTY next week to cap off the season and ensure a bowl bid!

So quick roundup of bowl hopes ...

NORTHWEST DIVISION
- MSU: Next week is meaningless. They won't get a B(C)S bid, so it's win in Indy and smell
Roses or Florida again.
- Michigan: LOTS on the line next week. Not only a chance to beat the big Scarlet menace
for the first time in a LONG time, but they're playing to finish the season strong and get
a B(C)S berth (and possible coach of the year for Hoke).
- Nebraska/Iowa: Not much to play for in the first "Farmageddon" except pride and bowl
positioning. Phoenix probably gets the winner.
- Northwestern: LOTS to play for next week, including Sparty payback and ensuring a bowl
position. 6-6 just might not cut it.
- Minnesota: We need to cheer for them to beat Illinois so the Illini finish 6-6 on a
6-game losing skid and are lower than us in bowl desirability.

SOUTHEAST DIVISION
- Wisconsin/PSU: It's all on the line in Madison for a trip to Indy and it's the only way
either is getting in a B(C)S bowl.
- OSU: Still LOTS to play for - could wind up in Indy if they win tonight and beat
Michigan next week while Wisky wins at home, plus could move up in bowl pecking order
since sanctions probably won't come this year.
- Purdue: NEED a win next week to get to 6-6.
- Illinois: NEED a win next week to stop the bleeding.
- Indiana: All they have left is the bucket ... and we gotta hope the Hoosiers win to help
our case.

So we're cheering for Indiana, Minnesota and Michigan next week for our bowl hopes ... and
of course the main mission is to BEAT SPARTY!!!

GO CATS!!!
