[QUOTE="ChiefGritty, post: 1791016, member: 746137"] I would be happy to be wrong, but I think people on this board are very mistaken in their belief that a string of 7-5's would produce the same attendance boom as Zook's Rose Bowl. The same 35,000 would just be much happier. I think the going forward bar is pretty clear, to be playing in those three weekly network telecasts somewhat regularly against the big teams and winning more often than we get embarrassed in them. To be a meaningful character on that top-rated TV show, so to speak. That's a long long long way from where we are now and MUCH harder than consistent bowl berths in the B1G West. [/QUOTE]
