I feel like our history of qualities isn't getting the respect it should, and it shows we can play with the big boys. I haven't researched closely, but I doubt the other candidates have such a resume. How about some billboards in Austin, College Station, Norman, Morgantown, etc containing some of this: DATE OPPONENT RESULT Sep 25 2004 @ TCU W 45-44 Sep 24 2005 vs #9 Louisville W 45-14 Nov 5 2005 @ Rutgers W 45-31 Nov 12 2005 @ Syracuse W 27-0 Oct 14 2006 @ North Carolina W 37-20 Nov 4 2006 vs Pitt W 22-12 Nov 11 2006 vs Syracuse W 27-10 Nov 25 2006 @ #7 West Virginia W 24-19 Sep 8 2007 @ #17 Auburn W 26-23 Sep 22 2007 vs North Carolina W 37-10 Sep 28 2007 vs #5 West Virginia W 21-13 Nov 10 2007 @ Syracuse W 41-10 Nov 17 2007 vs Louisville W 55-17 Nov 24 2007 @ Pitt W 48-37 Sep 12 2008 vs #13 Kansas W 37-34 Sep 27 2008 @ NC State W 41-10 Oct 18 2008 vs Syracuse W 45-13 Sep 26 2009 @ #18 Florida State W 17-7 Oct 3 2009 @ Syracuse W 34-20 Oct 30 2009 vs #21 West Virginia W 30-19 Nov 21 2009 vs Louisville W 34-22 Nov 3 2010 vs Rutgers W 28-27 Nov 13 2010 @ Louisville W 24-21 Nov 27 2010 @ Miami W 23-20 Dec 31 2010 vs Clemson W 31-26 Sep 3 2011 @ #16 Notre Dame W 23-20 Nov 11 2011 @ Syracuse W 37-17 Oct 10 2015 vs Syracuse W 45-24 Nov 14 2015 vs #22 Temple W 44-23 Nov 20 2015 vs Cincinnati W 65-27 Nov 26 2015 @ UCF W 44-3 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which is why we should be on the short list. It should be like alimony - we were used to a standard of living while we were in the Big East, and P5 membership would be like alimony payments. We're literally one of 3 universities out of everyone in FBS that are worse off than where we were before. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he meant take our winning % vs theirs and see how we fair. Wins vs Losses. Edited August 11, 2016 by Azmodi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
