    The true measure of successful for any college football team is the number of 9-win seasons since 1983.

    So you don’t judge programs by wins?

    Interesting take.

    Here we go. Thought you had lost the touch, Mike.

    But the replies are now pouring in.

    Thanks for coming by, Race.

    I should clarify, those are 9+ win seasons. I used 9 as that’s about the breaking point of “good season” and I used 1983 because thats the year I saw The Police in the Tacoma Dome. My first concert. 35 years ago. Can’t believe it.

    If you want to talk about historical greatness, instead of cherry-picking a year that fits your narrative, why don't you just look at all-time numbers?

    You don’t think going back 35 year is a fair assessment of a program? If I go back much further we may have to start including Princeton.

    I’ll round it up to 40 if you’d like.

    In the last 40 years Oregon has had more 9+ win seasons than the Huskysies.

    But we don’t even hear about Yale anymore. That was a really long time ago when they were good.

    I bet a lot of those fans have died.
