Funny, NU had no problem winning 9 and 10 under Bo every year in the B1G, and he was a ****** coach that needed to be shown the door. He also went 3-1 against Iowa. If that was our standard of greatness, we could have made him our KF and kept beating Iowa like a drum. We strive for higher than that because we always have and always will. Even if that means taking a temporary step back.
It's hilarious that you fabricated a golden rule of parity involving a mythical 8-win glass ceiling (convenient for explaining away Iowa 8-5 mediocrity, of course) and then offer THREE exceptions to the rule. So wait, is that life in the B1G? Or just life in the B1G for Iowa and the other traditional have-nots?
So in other words, according to you, 25-30% of the teams in the conference aren't affected by the golden rule? So we're basically talking about general herding rules where a third of the teams are good, a third are average and a third are bad. Wow, thanks for that hard-hitting analysis. Good thing we have you here to tell us what is and isn't possible for programs based on the small sample window you self selected.
You haven't made any arguments here backed by anything other than your hatred, but then you demand hard evidence? Seriously, time for you to quit while you're behind. If you're so convinced NU will never be great again, you should have nothing to worry about it.
