I think people forget that the Gophers have really only been awful 5 of the last 20 years. 2 Mason seasons, 2 Brewster seasons, and 1 Kill season. 15 of the last 20 years have been mediocre.

Two of the last 20 seasons have definitely been better than mediocre and I consider 8 wins in FBS football to also be better than mediocre as well.

8 wins is mediocre. Which two of the last 20? You could consider Mason's 10 win season better than mediocre. However, they played 3 ranked teams and lost all of them. At least they finished ranked.

If you don't finish ranked, finish in the middle of the B1G, and don't beat a ranked team, that's a pretty mediocre season to me.

Even if you want to say mediocre to good, my point was that only 1/4 of the last 20 seasons were 'bad' seasons. By the way some people talk on here you would have thought the Gophers haven't been to a bowl game in 20 years before Kill/Claeys showed up.
 

Thank you Athlon. I know that Coach Fleck will use this as bullet board material. It's one more TOO for him.
