Quote:Now our aspirations are higher than getting to the bowl game. They're winning conference championships. They're trying to crack the Top 25. They're getting signature non-conference wins.
I wonder if JK or his staff pored over past Parliament discussions to decide on their definition of "signature win."

Undoubtedly! The Parliament is the OED of sports terminology, including:
"signature win"
"trap game"
"strike out the side"

You forgot 'perfect game", discussion of which disturbed the curmudgeon level.
next up: If we beat a highly favored P5, was that a trap game for them, a signature win for us, both, or neither, depending on if it is the first game of the season?

I guess the word nationally will be look out for Rice - they beat a team that didn't show up for the game.
Oh, heck, let's lust win and let people call it what they want.

RE: Chronicle Intreview w/Dr. K
Another term needing an official definition - "lust win".
Sorry. Couldn't resist.
