Three postseason wins, beginning with Lee Corso in the Holiday Bowl, wins three postseason games this run and crushes teams in the doing of that.
To me, it'd be hard to argue with this because they're still the team that until this year had the most losses in FBS, had the worst winning percentage all time of any Power Four team.
I mean, they're not supposed to be in this position.
That's why I think the storybook fits, but
It's not Hoosiers, the basketball high school teams, right?
It's not that.
It's not a bunch of 5'8 guys wildly overachieving and knocking off the big city school because Gene Hackman measured the hoop and it was just the same as their home gym.
It's not that.
These are really good football players.
They're doing it in the modern way.
They're doing it with guys who have been at two, three, four schools, who are 24, 25, 26 years old in some cases, and they're using the portal and they're using NIL in a really smart way.
So...
you know it's not like they're not good teeth they're not a bunch of good players who are wildly overachieving that's not what this team is it's the story is remarkable because of their historical futility but the way they've used the modern tools at their disposal which was never possible before that's why there's no comparable
Bill Snyder turned around Kansas State, obviously long ago, and they were the worst team in history.
And they became competitive and came close to playing for a national championship in the late 90s.
But Signetti did it in two years.
And that's what you can now do with the modern tools.
And if you use them brilliantly, which he has, this kind of thing is possible going forward, like we've seen in the NFL.
Many times a team goes from last in the division to winning the division.
It's almost common now.
