Message: [QUOTE="newmexicuse, post: 4588135, member: 57"] As several posters have pointed out above, the stars were aligned and the stage was set for Jimmy to be very successful. It is hard to imagine somebody having done better for the first 40 years or so. Just a little bit of better luck and Jimmy could have gotten 2 or 3 titles, which would have elevated his status even higher. Jimmy certainly deserves plaudits. That being said, one never knows what an alternate history might have been. Probably less front end success and almost certainly some back end improvement over where we are now. the big mystery in my mind, is that switching from Zone to M2M was such a critical and successful move in our NC title run, why then did M2M become such anathema in Jimmy’s mind ? his biggest success resulted from changing D’s at the right time. Why...never again ???? [/QUOTE]
