The "U" went hard after King Barry when Donna was the Prez.


NO was the answer.


Not helmet.


Also said NO to Notre Dame and UNL. Kaptain Kirk said no to repeated NFL offers.


Washington got the best available coach when they were looking - one who turned down USC. THE USC.


Helmet.


Miami hires also-rans and guys who put them on probation. Not that any of their 369 fans would notice.


Not helmet.

If Miami ever hired an actual big-time coach, it'd be the late 80s all over again.  And they only sellout when playing FSU or Florida.

So Miami isn't a helmet because something happened to them that also happened to Notre Dame and Nebraska?

Only because USC hired the coach that Washington already had.

Washington is not a helmet.  At all.  Not even close.

You may certainly argue that at this time they're at a higher level than Miami, if you like.

But Washington isn't a helmet.  Never has been.  Highly unlikely they ever will be.

It's highly unlikely that any school becomes a helmet that isn't one.  You get awfully passionate about things that are inherent.

The fact that Badge is arguing so vehemently that Miami isn't helmet sort of solidifies in my mind why they are.  Even though they have been pretty average  for over a decade they still stir emotions.  People revel in the fact that they are down.


When Iowa is down no one really takes great pleasure in it.  No one views it as some sort of come uppance.


I still think when people hear "Miami" they think of dancing, bragging, swagger, and winning.

ND and UNL began their runs much earlier than Miami. Miami was a flash in the pan and had to cheat to win. Not helmet.

Sark was a USC coach under Pete for a long time. It's not the same.

Never said they were. All I meant was that going out and getting the best available coach (who turned USC down, by the way) is acting helmet.

I don't mind Iowa being down, but I'd rather have them be good. Heh.

As for "people" thinking of Miami.. well, my kids don't. Ever.

Interesting point. 


I love it when Notre Dame is down.  A lot of people love it when Ohio State is down.  A lot of people love it when Bama is down.  I love it when Miami is down. 


Outside of rivals (Wisconsin&Minnesota mostly), does anyone get joy out of Iowa being down?  Outside of rivals (WSU) does anyone get joy out of Washington being down? 


Lots of people love it when Miami is down.  Helmet.
