[QUOTE="Point-Illinois, post: 1815145, member: 747217"] Yeah, I think I can get on board with not enjoying a 7-5 because that means we lose to awful NW. I’ll still be happy for the bowl, but it’ll leave that “what happened” and “was it all smoke and mirrors” feeling that Lovie’s 6-6 season left. More of a “good season but not sure if we built a program” feeling. Gotta get to 8-4. Gotta take the good with the bad I guess. When we were 1-1 and thought we would only get to 3-4 wins like usual, then rattled off 6 straight, we were riding high. I’m 100% with you regarding disappointment. I’m just more quickly able to re-calibrate expectations. Also I never thought we were better than MSU and Purdue, just that we could beat them if we played well. We didn’t and we lost. I think some thought we were truly better than those two teams. It’s why you play the games. [/QUOTE]
