    The way I see it a rich tradition has to start somewhere. Florida State before Bowden was playing before sparse crowds and thinking about going division 2. BYU had never won a single conference championship and had similar mediocre history as ours before Lavelle Edwards. Virginia Tech was a zero before Beamer. Alabama wasn't Alabama before Bear. The list goes on and on. The blue bloods didn't become blue bloods over night. Heck 100 years ago the best football was being played in the Ivy league and northeast for heavens sake. A tradition of winning has to start at some point and I believe we are witnessing the birth of ours. 25 years from now my grandchildren may only know MSU as another football powerhouse(my dream and hope). We have the chance to get it done. We are on the cusp of greatness.

    ETA: When Dan first took the job I thought it would take about 7-10 years to build a really elite program(if we were ever gonna build one) based on history and the state of the program when he took over. Now here we are 9 years later, 8 straight bowls, averagin 8 wins a year and even better on the horizon. Build it from the ground up and no shortcuts, solid foundation and this is what can happen.

    That reminds me. Didn't someone on here post a couple of years ago that someone told them Dan told Keenum in his initial interview that it would take him ten years to build this program to legitimately compete for the West on a yearly basis?

    I could have sworn I read that on here.
