We were #7 once according to a guy on the internet.

Think we may have been #7 a few times. However I do believe we were #2 once…

We were also 7-0 at one point I believe. Were we not 7-0?

I think we were during one of the CCS years.  Most of us thought we were winning very ugly at the time, and our record was not indicative of how good of a team we were.  I think we lost the last 5.  My memory is not that good, though.

"Were we not 7-0?" is an infamous CCS quote after being grilled about how bad things were going downhill.  The fans could all see it.

We squeaked by Tulsa on the road and UCONN at home for HC and then Houston hung 59 on us and the wheels came off the bus, the season ended with us losing 6 straight and nobody can forget the Gasparilla bowl where Marshall shellacked us in our own house to end that season, was our last bowl game to date,  at least we made it memorable.

Yeah, it didn't take a psychic to see the crash coming.  I remember after watching the game that made us 7-0 telling my bride (and many others) we wouldn't win another game that year.

The UConn game was pretty much the death knell for that season. We had, IIRC, 7 points in the first half against a defense that only gave up less than 50 twice that season (and one of those was a 49-point game). It was very clear something bad was coming.

Yep, needed a miracle comeback to beat a winless Tulsa team at the time as well.  I have never seen a 7-0 team play that poorly.  Spotted Houston 14 and matched them giving us hope, but eventually reality sunk in and we realized we sucked all along just like we thought we did.
Hell we have only won like 6 or 7 games a few were FCS out of the last 50 plus games. When you think about it, it is downright pathetic, we are pitiful.

In my opinion the back to back tenures of Strong and Scott set the program back about 15 years.
