How much do you think it plays into the character of the players and coaches if they "show up"? I have to say with all thats been going on down in IA city recently if KF can pull out a win here, I will have to hand it to him.
We are doing a Bowl Office Pool and of course people are coming to me asking the Big Ten Bowl Predictions and I am known for being a bit of a homer. The look of shock in their face when I tell them Missouri is funny. Then I explain the situation we are under and they understand. But... remember last year we used freshman running backs and did alright. Can't imagine that a team starts a freshman running back in back to back bowl games too often.
I agree... if KF and Co. can pull this one out... much props.
I am hoping beyond hope that what has transpired in the past week has lifted a cloud in the mindset of the players and they come prepared to play. That is a mighty big hope.
