All is not lost, remember how lousy we looked in game one in 2005? Illinois St led well into the 4th quarter before we came back and won. And then the next week we dismantled Iowa and Drew Tate, 23 - 3? Bring on the hawks, we will pound them!
Merge? But I fail to understand why something that happened 6 years ago has bearing on this or next weeks game? We could beat Iowa 23-3 next week. We could lose 23-3, who the hell knows.
