Sooo we should expect to wait 40 Years? Maybe 400 since we aren't VT or Alabama? What about those schools that made it in their first year? Should we set that as the expectation instead? How do we choose which irrelevant historical fact to use here?

A- Do none of you people know how to use the google machine? How old are y'all?
B- We don't have to wait, we've already been to a bowl game.
C- By any measure, we are no longer in our first year of FBS football. How do you set the expectation for a period that has already passed?
D- Facts are only irrelevant when you don't agree with them.

Nice attempt at a deflection. Not really. But, the fact remains that your point lacked any gravity. Could you please explain the relevance of it taking Alabama 40 years a century ago to get to bowl game? Wouldn't it be more relevant to compare us to GA Southern, App State, Ga State, Charlotte... maybe even USF, UCF, UMASS, Marshall???

D - Facts are not relevant just because you stated them.

Hold up....did you just tell me my post lacked the appropriate gravitas for an internet fan-forum?




The Alabama/VT thing is centered around a string of posts where a particularly negative and grumpy poster complained repeatedly that we should strive to be like those schools. Find me a post where one of The Annointed says we need to be more like UMass and I'm in.

D- That blade also cuts both ways.

7?- Go find some some facts you think are relevant to or for those schools and post here for the rest of us to laugh at.
