    However it shakes out on Saturday, I think this year is one of Whit's (and Chow's) finest accomplishments. It's been a lot of fun to see this team pull itself together after its awful conference start. Finishing the year strong, in the new conference, with huge limitations at QB is a real testament to the coaches and the team.

          I'll bet Norm is pretty proud of what he has pulled off this season. Justifiably so, IMO.

            I'm sure he is really proud.

                I don't know what Chow considers to be his own great accomplishments.

                I think this year is one of his finest accomplishments. Just my opinion.

                Many teachers would agree that it's easy to teach brilliant students. The really rewarding stuff comes when you turn a D student into a B+ student.

                  i think the really rewarding stuff comes when you take any student and win multiple Heismans and National Championships.

                  I guess a B+ is pretty exciting for some folks, though.

                    Chow has many great accomplishments. Taking nothing away from the national titles and Heisman winners, finding a way to win Pac-12 games without a quarterback is dang impressive.

                      BYU managed it once this year.

                        Then you are more than aware of the magnitude of the accomplishment! Thank you for your support!

                            There's no way I'm going to go toe-to-toe with 3D in witty comebacks.

                            I yield.

                              This is a bizarre statement. Tearing down your quarterback to build up your team.
