Disagree. Obviously there would be some yahoos in our fanbase who'd look at Option 2 and choose to disregard the broader history between the programs, but that wouldn't make them right. 10 years does not a rivalry or supremacy make- regardless of what some overzealous fans want to believe. Its that very same attitude from the RU fans that seems to feed the obsession of some SU fans towards THAT program. They tooted their horn (as was their right) after beating us for a few years, but the real problem is that some SU fans started believing that they HAD surpassed us as a program. That's the "revisionism" that I see.
And since when is "a few years tailspin" revisionist history? We were in a tailspin during GERG, crawled halfway out with DM, fell back a bit with HCSS and are still struggling to get our footing. How is that revisionist?
Again, forgetting ones history and choosing to base a perspective purely on a microwaveable POV, is silly.
Btw- choosing to respond to or contribute to this 50+ thread is not an indication of how much RU "matters" as you suggest. Its like slowing down & looking at a car wreck. Call me old school, but RU has never much "mattered" to me no matter how close to mediocrity they came...during our <ahem> "tailspin" years.
