Next 12 games could be win or go home for Zook

What we're approaching is, schedulewise, what all the weak-hearts have wanted for years: no rated opponents (based on Monday's BCS poll) for the next 12 regularly scheduled games ... six games this season to build a bowl resume, and six even easier tests to start a 2011 campaign that avoids Michigan State, Iowa and Nebraska in the new divisional setup and features eight home games.

This is opportunity pounding so hard that it hurts the ear drums.
