True. We both can be right on this one. I agree, I'm just referencing one game for North Carolina St. I think that if 2 games were on TV on the same night, one being Indiana beating Miami and the other being NC State beating Houston, I'd feel like the next morning, most of the talk at the...

Yeah, it didn't even make it to page 2 before people started disagreeing with each other. Kinda shameful. ;)

Which is why it was a great upset. Had they finished first in the ACC that year, their victory over Houston wouldn't stand out nearly as much.

Well, then instead of "all time" he should have said, "in my lifetime", no? Are you really implying that he's never heard of that game cuz he's too young?

You're not misinterpreting. It's just that, going out and getting/paying for the players you want doesn't necessarily mean that people will rank it high. It *could* correlate to a top 10 class or whatever, but it doesn't have to. Transfers from James Madison aren't going to get your class...

I'm not sure what you're disagreeing with? I never said they pulled in a top 20 class for transfers or high schoolers, so not sure why you thought that was relevant?

Ok then, so by your logic, what Dan Marino accomplished in 1984 wasn't that special because QB's today are easily hitting those numbers? The rule change is the precise reason for the success of Indiana, and rules changes are the precise reason why it's no big deal to put up almost 50 TDs and...

Kinda disagree here. Didn't the Florida Marlins pretty much buy their world series team? Granted, they gave up after one and went back to awful, but it's the same kinda turnaround. Valvano and the Wolfpack beating Houston was head and shoulders above what Indiana did. Now if Indiana did what...

Your post is fine, I just think you meant "disagree". ;)

@Pompous Elitist didn't do that. ...and yet you responded anyways.

I dunno, considering a lot of them occur in week 2 after opening the season against a solid opponent...kinda takes away from that theory. We were even talking on here about how Buffalo was a good MAC team. We should have scheduled Northwestern State in week one if we needed a "preseason" game...

Good one!!!!!!!

Iowa and Ohio State, probably even Oregon.

Now I'm not gonna look it up, but how many of those were just a "flash in the pan" kinda thing, without the consistency that we get with Fleck? Case in point, 2021 Michigan State. They are more recent than us, but I'm glad we didn't bring in Mel Tucker, get 11 wins, then deal with the mess...

Is that common in sports after high school? As a grown man, I'd have a hard time showing respect like that for someone unless it was reciprocated when I entered a room he was in.

What law school did you go to, just curious. Your posts on this have been great.

I thought the Bucky/Bucko thing came up before he had the chance to transfer. Like, once he started playing good enough to keep getting on the field, it seemed people started the nickname change. But he totally finished out the season with that nickname - if it would have bothered him I'm sure...

Yeah, it's better than saying we can't afford the portal as much as other teams so we have to rely on high school, but that's about it.

Me too. He or someone close to him, even said something about how it was about taking care of his mom because they lived somewhere poor, in Chicago I think?

Well once people quit watching and the tv money dries up...that's about all we can hope for.
