WSJ: "The 2011 College Football Grid of Shame"

Postby Water Pony » Fri Sep 02, 2011 6:49 am

Big Wall Street Journal (WSJ) spread today, including a graphic comparing the "wear your colors with pride" vs. "peel off the window sticker" and "projected weaking" vs. "projected powerhouse'.

Notably we are consider in the middle as a FB power, but ... due to history, do we currently lack pride in SMU? I believe we moving beyond. As for others: Stanford gets high marks and TCU looks good along with BYU, Air Force and Penn State.

Powers who don't reflect well on their schools include some big schools, e.g. OSU, LSU, USC, NC, Miami, Auburn, Oregon, So. Carolina, etc. And, the weaklings simply look sad.

Here is WSJ's take on "The 2011 College Football Grid of Shame":

It would appear that we are still paying the price for something that happened a quarter century ago. I would think wearing our colors with pride, after overcoming the harshest penalty ever handed out, would be higher.
