TBF they didn't play 12 or 13 games back then, and Welsh almost always had


two great OOC games on the schedule (Hokies and various home and homes against solid programs like TX, PSU, Auburn, etc.). And very few Bowl games were Jan 1 or even later now, with only the Orange being tied to the ACC iirc. (Peach Bowl was NYE when I went in '95)

But yes, for the most part your post is spot on. As much as I loved what Welsh did for this program, and thought that should've been allowed to leave whenever he chose, we can be a bit generous on the heights we think he took us to, and easily forget the 6-6 years and Bowl losses at the end.
