Perhaps the BEST B1G Forum anywhere, here at College Football Fan Site, CFB51!!!

Only one team "wins it all", but the rest of us can find some positives in a season (usually).  I was pondering what those are:

1.  Have a winning record.
2.  Win a bowl game.
3.  Finish ranked.
4.  Finish in the top 10.
5.  Finish in the top 5.
6.  Win your division.
7.  Win your conference (this to me is a large item).
8.  Make the playoffs.
9.  Make the NC game.
10.  Have a player win a notable award.
11.  Have a lot of underclassmen who really developed in the season.
12.  Upset a top ten team, or have that one special win over a rival to win the Stone Ax Handle Cup.

So, as we enter this new year, let's be positive!  Did I miss something?

What positives did your team achieve in 2018?

Brought the Axe back to the Twin Cities. 

Found a RT who is a freakish talent that, if he works at it, could be a single digit draft pick in a few years. 

Do folks think refs at times "have it out" for a specific team?  Or are their bad calls just random?

Terps fans do.
It's the Edsall Effect.  His brother was a ref, and they are a band of brothers, so when Randy was fired, retribution took effect.

They're all human. I wouldn't be surprised if some of them have it in for certain coaches - the ones who act like spoiled children on the sidelines. Home teams tend to get a little benefit.

But in general? I'd say no.

I can see were Pelini caused some ill will from some refs
I never thought refs or crews would call games trying to influence them, but the game the Huskers played in College Station vs the Aggies in 2010 convinced me the conference instructed the crew to punish the Huskers
after seeing some stats on holding calls since the Huskers joined the B1G, I'm not certain the conference wasn't sending a subtle message

Beat Michigan, win the Big Ten, and win the Rose Bowl. 

Done, done and done.
