The number of BCS teams Skip beat while at ECU is greater than the conference wins he had here. It wasn't the "upgraded" level of competition ...

We aren't in a major conference nor offer a world class education from a prestigious school with rich tradition. This is not meant to be pessimistic but maybe we are more in line for WKU success. A annual conference champion contender with yearly bowls. That is Stanford type success also ... Let me be more specific because as time goes on the difference between the haves and have nots appears to be growing. Even with a significant turnaround here, for the foreseeable future we are closer to pizza bowls than roses. The new Big East is closer to the SunBelt than PAC-12. There is a line dividing two unstable conferences that separates where we are and where we want to be. Its very difficult to compare anything to Stanford type success. Some of that changes if we get a golden ticket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
