Low blow son. We did kept 80% of our talent over the trade deadline, although the loss of Hossa did hit us pretty hard. I say we're still contenders next year. I don't see the 'nucks pulling it off soon.

I go to a Big Ten school and I can't more heartily disagree. Bowls are an excuse to overpromote end-of-season antics and are rarely enjoyed by the teams' true fans (i.e. the students). Moreover, seasons which end during the third week of November leave three weeks before end-of-semester. And postseason football is one of sports' best joys. Also, I don't much enjoy one or two losses to be season ending.
