I have never ignored it. Do I give Dino a pass for a non-winning season that year? Sure. But for winning only one game? Sorry, but no.

I’m pretty sure that each of the ten teams who beat us are not considering those wins to be non-existent. Because they don’t need that excuse.  I’m pretty sure the only ones not counting that season are the schools who sucked.

The other thing that I always found hypocritical about it is that NOBODY judged hoops/JB by the same standard. The basketball team (unlike football) had two in-season quarantines if I recall, but still finished 18-14 with a .500 conference record. And yet NOBODY ever gave JB a free ride for COVID.

Nobody.

In fact, the COVID year was more fodder for the narrative that JB had lost something from his fastball.

So, I give that football season an asterisk, but not a free pass. Others view it differently but I do not, especially since it isn’t like it was sandwiched between periods of outstanding achievement by Dino.
