+1, and I feel like the gap in talent is getting bigger every year
It's not.
And our program is so much better now, right?
I also kinda miss those days when we had a coaching staff could recruit and develop decent QB's - you know: Bandhauer, Rosenfels, Wallace, Meyer, Arnaud...
Haha....they didn't develop Seneca. He was a gift. Besides that he didn't even throw the ball that well. I would argue that this team, this year would win those North Divisions. You seem to never bring up that each team in that division was absolutely horrible for a our "best" era in football, yet we never won the division because, well, Mac choked on it. The Mac era wasn't that good. The competition was just much much less than it is right now. Now you have Mizzou, Baylor, aTm, Okst along with the Texas' and Oklahomas who have built programs that weren't there when mac was here. We weren't that good. Get over it.
