Good question and some good responses.  I'm only slightly older & feel like this time period is the genesis behind the "JB just recruits & rolls the ball out" theory that my Father and lots of guys his age have.  How did we get blown out by Uconn the following year in the BET is another thing I always wonder, looking at the rosters I have no idea.

Of course as I get older I've realized stuff happens and this era that felt like an eternity was actually a 4 year blip 88-91.  Recruiting has never really been as good and we've had some great seasons but the underachieving label has stuck for a lot of casual/outside observers. I think I agree with Otto that 2010 JB was a better coach but also those teams were probably unlucky.

On a sidenote I've never been a "root for team that beat you" guy but I find it mildly annoying that Illinois team lost to freaking Michigan. We totally woulda been favored to win it all if we won that game right?
