johnnyzip84 Posted August 26, 2009 Report Posted August 26, 2009 USA Today has a mildly interesting column that attempts to define each FBS member's "Golden Years". I sure hope we're quickly entering an era at UA that will quickly replace 2003-2005 as our new Golden Years.USA Today LinkEdit: I thought it was kind of curious that for some programs, they didn't seem to mind going back to 1-AA or lower years. But for UA they didn't seem to consider the years surrounding 1968 or 1976. Quote
GP1 Posted August 26, 2009 Report Posted August 26, 2009 2005...... I guess. This topic should actually be the "Golden Year" for UofA.2003 and 2004, would we have broken 50% wins without I-AA teams. Quote

johnnyzip84 Posted August 26, 2009 Author Report Posted August 26, 2009 Great Pontificator, you have a point in 2003. Take away wins over Howard and Cal Poly-SLO and the Zips would have been 5-5. In 2004, the 6-5 record was against all FBC teams. In fact, isn't Morgan St. the first FCS (1-AA) team that JD has played? Quote
GP1 Posted August 26, 2009 Report Posted August 26, 2009 Take away wins over Howard and Cal Poly-SLO and the Zips would have been 5-5.5-5? Probably 5-7..... JD has had to play more difficult schedules, but there is still to much losing.....with the exception of the MAC Championship game of course. Quote
Z.I.P. Posted August 26, 2009 Report Posted August 26, 2009 There are now two survivors who can remember Eastern Michigan's Golden Years, which ended in 1930. Quote

Ryno aka Menace Posted August 27, 2009 Report Posted August 27, 2009 We are always talking about a blue print to follow as far as moving up to the Big East.....Cincinnati 1949-52 The Bearcats were champions of the Mid-American Conference three times while earning a 33-10-1 record under coach Sid Gillman.
