I trust you are being facetious or sarcastic, but just in case anyone doesn't remember, records by year during the 80s were: 5-6, 4-7, 0-11, 1-10, 1-10, 3-8, 4-7, 2-9, 0-11, 2-8-1. total 22-87-1.
By comparison, the 70s were a veritable powerhouse: 5-5, 2-8-1, 5-5-1, 5-6, 2-8-1, 2-9, 3-8, 1-10, 2-9, 1-10, total 28-78-3, with 3 seasons equal to or better than the best record of the 1980s.
So, for two decades, Rice's cumulative football record was 50-165-4, and average of 2.5 wins per year.
And the vast majority of those teams would very likely have blown this year's team out.
I might be biased but hell yeah!
