So what I have a fear of is the media idiots pushing the "UND CAN STILL GET IN IF WE WIN THESE TWO GAMES!" jargon. Then UND plays well this Saturday and maybe wins (unlikely), then we have the last game "ALL OR NOTHING!" of the season on the road at ISU. Then regardless of the outcome we'll hear "UND was on the edge of getting into the playoffs". Which, maybe they were, but closer to off the edge then actually on it. In reality its another fantastic opportunity for the team to play terribly in a big spot with the season on the line.
Some how, some way, they won't just tank these last two games and let this thing pass peacefully. They could lose this Saturday, but get over the hump in Illinois to finish 6-6, and the athletic department would see it as progress on the road.....
