That was the year the wheels started to fall off what had been building up at Western. They always play us tough....well...except for this year...that kinda made me sad how pathetic they were.

A .750 baseball team is unworldly.

A .750 football team is a runner up.

I'm not as focused as some people on this idea of us beating (or not beating) winning teams. The way I look at it, we have a very good program going right now, and we have work to do. I don't need statistics to know that.

Agreed.

But ...

If we were able to improve the record against winning teams by one game a year, it would have been 12-7. That makes us 41-8 over four years, which is basically 10-2. What I'm saying is we're doing pretty well - especially given the few years before The Urban Legend arrived and a few wins here and there will propel us to the next level.

We basically agree here.
