I think we're pretty tough at home. WSU beat Oregon last week. Surprsed there was not much chatter on this board about that. It seems this board was more interested in Kansas getting blown out. I just don't understand that self loathing mentality.

We need to win home games vs Nebraska and MD. No easy task but winnable if we play like we did vs WSU and MSU. 12th man always helps..

We need to step up today and the Wisconsin games. Both are good teams and winning on the road is tough. But it is doable.

We also beat WSU and Umich last year. Probably going to lose to Umich. Which means we have to beat Wisconsin, Ind, Neb, Army, and Umd. If that happens, I'll give Flood another extension. I'm not setting the bar low either. 7 wins is rather high considering we only have 7 games left. So you're saying we'll go 5-2 in our last 7 games. Those are rather high expectations. 4-3 would be impressive from what I've seen so far and considering the circumstances.
Yeah my OP gave the path I think we would have to take and I conceded the Michigan game.

Starts this week with Indi, but Wisconsin, and especially Nebraska are games we could look to as winnables. I don't see this as out of the realm.

Oregon is falling apart. Utah destroyed them 62-20.

Wisconsin has a GREAT D not an easy game for us right now.

How many here would be satisfied if we beat Ind.,Army,Wisc.,Neb., and Md.?
It's pretty high on my wish list, that's for sure. If we don't get to six or seven wins, I'll take a new coach as a consolation prize.

Hell, I'll take a new HC as long as RU doesn't go to the cheap rack to get one.
Unless the recruiting class of 2016 looks good.
If that's the case , if RU goes bowling,won't whine about his coming back.

I get that, but there's a difference between a game being winnable and actually pulling it off. That would be fantastic if we get those five wins, but it's going to be very difficult

Speaking of not being easy, dang.

This one was a must and we pulled it out. Need to go 4-2 the rest of the way. Impossible? Improbable? Well like tonights game, (and the Mich-MSU game) things that look impossible are not, and improbable things do happen.

Now let's go give that team from Ohio a game.
