No we have, they just aren't in the program anymore for various reasons.

Err..

Minnesota went to a bowl game last year. How was that rough? They also went to 2 bowl games in the 4 years prior to Kill's arrival. Not to mention, Tim Brewster was a pretty accomplished recruiter, so I'm betting he didn't leave the cupboard completely bare.

I guess you're at least trying to use some BCS teams to compare us to now. That UNLV comparison had me shuddering.
 
Not that Udub is "back," but what did they do? DD? This program went winless not too long ago.

What was the chicken and egg?
