8-4 (5-4) is light years better than 6-6 (3-6). And we will have to play well to get there, just as it should be. Winning these last two games would be absolutley HUGE. I wouldn't bet on it but I'm hoping for it.

Yuh, let's hope that we are dealing with a "late blooming, about-to-peak" situation with this team.

Two games left (regular season) ..... obviously, I want them both but I think a split would be fantastic. I agree with 82gradDLSdad .... 8-4 is HUGE compared to 6-6<br /><br />GO BEARS!!!!!!!

Even 7-5 would be good (especially if we go on to win the bowl game).<br /><br />But if we knock off furd next week, I don't think anyone will say, "Well, we got one of the two toughies.....it's ok if we lose the other to ASU."

been a late bloomer while he has been here?? <br /><br />usually it is start out strong and then fade..<br /><br />I think if we play very well the next two weeks (win or lose) that would say a lot about how we might fare next year .. two good games on the road would be a nice change..<br /><br /><blockquote><div class="name-said">manus;623358 said:</div><hr>Yuh, let's hope that we are dealing with a "late blooming, about-to-peak" situation with this team.<hr></blockquote>

If we see something like that this year, it would be very encouraging.
