nah, it was five. we beat georgia tech, wyoming, and tcu, and lost to xavier and cal. we got destroyed in new york.Boom wrote:Not that it really matters... but I'm pretty sure it was only 4 games in '99.
yes, i understand what you're saying. it wasn't a typical season. my point was just that our talent level was so low, and we were picked to do so poorly by everyone with an opinion, that i couldn't care less how many extra games we got. that's what i meant by we shouldn't have won 21 games even if we played a 500 game season. it was an exaggeration to express respect at the achievement. and like i said, it's not like ernie (who was the original comparison) never had the opportunity to win more games with extended seasons. and, you know, he had thirteen seasons. doing anything in two seasons, as altman will, that a guy who coached thirteen seasons could only do once is at least noteworthy.No, it loses it's significance... and technically the CBI gave us 6 extra games. I was simply pointing out that we paid for 5 home games... further devaluing the meaningfulness of a 20 win season.
