Don't hurt your arm patting yourself on the back. Maybe the OP was just saying, based on previous results, that MT has had a few good seasons but it's not like they dominated. By the way, you can say the same thing about pretty much all of the current/former belt schools. None of us have a sustainable advantage over the other schools so we either struggle along around .500 and have a couple of decent seasons here and there or we have swings from high to low.

For reference, I believe the following is MT's recent record in men's football and hoops. Respectable, but not conference crippling (per the OP's point). We are all replaceable.
