Maybe if we both talk each other down enough, maybe neither program will ever get any respect, from anyone. Yeah, sounds like a great plan. For if Minnesota sucks so bad, what does that say about Syracuse when you've lost 3 straight to us, and Vegas and every media person out there I've seen thinks you are going to lose another game to us. So go ahead, disrespect us, talk us down, you are only degrading your own schedule and the value of the win, if you upset us on the 27th. Honestly, that's what I would have used as my reasoning towards the idiot Gopher fans who were talking down Syracuse. Maybe the U should have scheduled tougher ooc teams? I know several Gopher fans expressed that very sentiment throughout the season. Thing is, many of these games are scheduled years out, and N Mex St was a deal where their coach is a former Gopher. And we just brought in a new coach, didn't want to unfairly burden him with a grueling schedule. Better to start out light and soft and work up from there if the coach seems capable, and he's show that he is, in my opinion. And we scheduled you guys in the ooc, does that mean you think you are a creampuff? We scheduled USC. And NDSU is actually a better team than Syracuse is, and better than Minnesota as well. And I think you are misinterpreting Gopher fans. It's probably not your fault, but I don't think that they feel they "deserve" to have gotten a better opponent, just that they "wanted" a better opponent. They, and I, wanted a chance to upset a Top 25 ranked team. But we are honestly, with enough time to think about it, probably fine with not being in those bigger bowls, it was unrealistic to think we'd get chosen over the Michigans and Nebraskas of the world. The reality is that we are going to have to simply win more games and force the issue. The best thing right now is to just first of all, beat Syracuse, and then go from there. Beat TCU next fall and maybe Wisconsin, or Michigan, or Iowa? Simply take that next step up. And yes, we need to start scheduling tougher ooc opponents. [/QUOTE]
