Some weird combination of the two apparently. UCLA has had more recent success and historic success than us, but they’re below us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know but I'd definitely like to see the formula/methodology... From what I see I think it somewhat involves a hat and slips of paper...

Anyway, I have a feeling that the author is an alum, a fan, or on the faculty of Loyola Chicago. Does anyone seriously rthink they will continue to have big time success without Moser, and more importantly, Krutwig? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
