The whole point was that just winning isn't enough. Just doing better than before isn't enough. I completely agree with you that it was an era of mediocrity and the idea that we should have been pleased with it.Tomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02845259434253105026noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4140844116012135636.post-51879948210149760532008-06-16T21:53:00.000-07:002008-06-16T21:53:00.000-07:00One could argue that Glen Mason was the third best...<I>One could argue that Glen Mason was the third best coach in the storied history of the Gophers (Murray Warmath and Bernie Bierman are clearly top 2).

Look at the Big Ten winning percentage (.400, almost exactly the same as John Gutekunst and worse than Cal Stoll, Lou Holtz, Wes Fesler, and many others.)<BR/><BR/>Please!
