In fact, one could argue that this season's schedule is superior to most of those that he played.

The only think that he has to hang his hat on is his record against Utah and USU, and we all know that he started in the early days of McBride who was laying the foundation at the time and Utah has come a long way since then.

Other than his criticism of the Howell hire (which I can see his point) I think his views are the result of rose tinted hindsight.
