The good news first, always, right? Well, the Wildcats managed to eek out a win over the Hawkeyes 28-27, after trailing by two touchdowns. They accomplished this with that onside kick thing they've been practicing - just like that deflection/interception thing they were doing a few years ago, which led to a big win over Michigan. Hooray for tricky plays! What else can we do when everyone else in the Big 10 - nay, the nation outweighs, outruns, and outblocks our team? Also, in the good news category is that we are now bowl-eligible, albeit a 2+ worder (I predict the "Morton Iodized Salt Bowl")
The bad news is we will probably be crushed by Ohio State next week. And this will be on national broadcast television. Great. It's always fun to be decimated on national TV after finally getting some respect. We've done this many times (can anyone say - any bowl we've gone to in the past 7 years?). The recent loss to Michigan is only the freshest reminder. The one good thing going for us is that the Cats seem to do better when they go into a game thinking they will lose because they suck rather than trying to live up to grand expectations. It won't be pretty. Except for the snazzy purple jerseys.
