    Sure you can jump off a bridge and survive but I wouldn't advise it

    Was that a signature win though? That was as much of a signature win as Sark's over USC.

    Stanford did what APAG describe they got better over time slowly. Right after that USC game they lost to a UW team at home on a 6 game losing streak. Had a losing season the following year and was only 8-5 year after that.

    Fuck a signature win. And since when is beating a team that you are more talented then a signature win. Winning programs don't have signature wins because they are busy winning almost every game. Other than BCS bowl wins, there is no such thing as a signature win.

    Lambo and his "whammy in Miami" agree with you.

    That's a hell of a win, but it really didn't mean shit. I would rather have a Rose Bowl win.

    By the way, a "signature win" is one that turns the direction of the program, and elevates the quality of play to a new level. That hasn't happened. Sark has turned no corner. 2009 Huskies are just as good as 2013 Huskies.

    Hmmmm sounds like an inflection point win.

    Big time win but it didn't lead to anything. Team went 7-4 that year and lost every road game after that.

    I think signature wins are bull shit myself too. I've seen several times where a team has a big win then lay an egg immediately.

    Sometimes teams use that win as a program momentum but most of that is what APAG pointed to with little details going into it and it finally producing.

    "Signature" wins come after a team has improved. It is something you identify retroactively. Once a team has elevated its play to a high level and begins to beat quality opponents then you can look back to the first quality win and say this is the "signature" win that marks when the program had turned a corner. To preemptively speculate something is a "signature" win is doogish. Results first. You need a crystal ball or "real" insider access to know a program has gotten good before you see it in the W column.
