I'm right with everyone that's frustrated with how these last two games have gone, but quite honestly, let's really look at this objectively. Yea, we started out 14-0 and were top 10, but were we ever really a top 10 team, probably not. First, we had all the breaks go our way during those games, and most years, we come out of that 11-3(Iowa, UNI and BYU or Boise all should have been losses), and that would still be a nice record and really an accurate reflection of how good we are. Now, it may seem like I'm dogging us, but I'm actually complimenting what Fred has accomplished. Look back to last year and what we lost. Look at how we felt about this team preseason, I believe most people felt that we were a team that COULD, not would, get to the NCAAs now that Kane showed up. Now look at what we accomplished. Quite honestly I feel this team overachieved this year and outside the WV game, really has been in every game. Summary, I really won't be surprised if OSU beats us on Sat, they're hot, we're not, and we just aren't as good as them, and I'm fine with that. That being said, Hilton could swing things in our favor. Either way, if you would have said before the season that we go 22-8, with a 10-8 conference record, I've have taken that home like a prom date! Let's enjoy the season, regardless of what we were, are or if we're ranked. Three years in a row in the Big Dance, a lot of big wins and great action against good teams, and a style that's fun to watch. If this team gets you down, think back to McDs run here, that should be good therapy.
