Anyone who thinks Ohio isn't better now than it was in the late 80's-early 90's is an idiot and isn't worth wasting a single second trying to explain why. Winning divisions and getting to bowl games like Ohio has done was unthinkable then as winning just a single game or two was a major hurdle. There were times back then I would have given my left nut to have the type of success now.
yes...that is factually correct.
But seriously....have we improved any in the last 5-7 years? I'd go as far as saying we've regressed in the last 4 overall?
I know it sounds like spoiled brats to "complain" about things now....but the dreadfulness of the mid-90's and early 2000s are 15-20 years old.
Do you really think this program is on the upswing right now? Can you seriously answer that with a definitive YES.
Bowl games are great. Making MAC championships is great (let's pray like the hell that happens on Tuesday).....but I just don't believe what I see on the field is better than what I saw in 2010, 2011 or 2012....I was super-excited about the path we were on then. But it's been a decline into a flatline the last 5 seasons.
Is it better than the 80's & 90's......HELLS YES.
Can it be better.....HELLS YES.
For some of us that wish for that....doesn't make us ungrateful....just hungry
