[QUOTE="BananaShampoo, post: 1282801, member: 3403"] I think the bar was and has always been NCAA or bust for this season. I'm sticking to that. For the second part of the question I put Whitman will keep him because I believe we will beat Rutgers first BTT game (if it's not Purdon't) and that on it's own I believe will be enough to get us in (or at least the play-in game) by the skin of our teeth. Assuming that happens, I think Groce can thank his lucky stars for the weakness of the bubble this year. Whether that will be a good thing or not for the long term remains to be seen. To me, this is like 2014 Beckman all over again when we were left for dead and he and the team somehow pulled a win vs. Northwestern out of their butts to get to 6 wins and a bowl game. But as we know it only delayed the inevitable (then again if the storyline holds, we fire JG next year, and somehow end up with another Lovie type hire thus mirroring football completely I think I'd be okay with that!).
