Yeah, but did our loss to WMU come at the expense of an all expenses paid trip to the Motor City Bowl?
I don't know what year it was that we lost to WMU, but I'm pretty sure most of us that year weren't talking about our Big 8/XII-championship-caliber team that had an outside shot at a national championship that year...
EDIT:
Upon further review, it happened in 1994. The records for the years surrounding that team:
1991: 3-7-1
1992: 4-7
1993: 3-8
1994: 0-10-1 (including a loss to UNI)
1995: 3-8
1996: 2-9
1997: 1-10
So yeah, we definitely weren't even discussing bowl bid, much less how great we were going to be that year. What was your excuse again?
