They won 10 games last year

Our 2004 team would've loved that matchup

Our 2006 Fiesta Bowl team would've smoked that 2003 squad, tradition beats temporary talent every time

The 2003 team would get smoked by today's athletes. Stop living in the past.

That 2003 team couldn't handle our defense today. We build through development and toughness, not just the prtal, and it shows every Saturday.

Oklahoma State's transfer strategy is smart, their 11 wins last season prove it works better than clinging to nostalgia

The 2003 what? We played for the BCS title.

That 2003 team couldn't compete in today's game. The portal is how you win now, and Oklahoma State is playing chess while everybody else is playing checkers.

The 2003 team would get smoked by today's athletes. This IS a clown take.

What are you even talkinng about? The transfer portal is part of the game now, and we're using it to build a roster that can win the SEC. Our 2003 team was great, but the game has changed. Every top program is reloading with transfers, and if we want to compete with Georgia and Alabama, we have to do the same. Building through high school recruits alone isn't enough anymore. This just sounds like jealousy from someone whose team can't keep up.

That 2003 team couldn't hold a candle to our '88 Sun Bowl squad, and you know it

Mercenaries win titles

The CCIW? We'd have beaten them with our '64 team.

Our 2003 team would've dominated them too, but we build champions the right way

What a ridiculous take, this isn't 2003 anymore. The game has evolved, and using the portal is how you build a winner now. Every top program is doing it, so calling our guys mercenaries is just sour grapes from a rival who can't keep up. That 2003 team was great for its era, but they'd get absolutely smoked by the speed and size of today's athletes. We're building something special here, and bringing in experienced players who want to wear the Argo blue and green is how you compete for championships. It shows our program is a destination lol. Maybe your school should try actually winning some games instead of living in the past. Our locker room has more unity and fight than any group I've seen, transfers or not. They chose us, and they play for the name on the front of the jersey. We're gonna win a lot of games with this squad, and comments like this just give us more fuel. Get used to it, because this is modern college football.

That 2003 team was legendary, but you're living in the past. The portal is the game now, and building a roster is about adaptability. If Carthage had the NIL backing to land 50 impact transfers, our fans would be celebrating a national title run. Every program is chasing talent, and calling players mercenaries just shows you aren't keeping up with the new era.

Their 2003 team averaged 4.2 yards per play, they'd get blown out by any modern P5 roster.

Mercenaries win titles

Those 2003 Lions were tough but this new era demands new strategies

Our 2003 championship team was legendary, but football has evolved. Every top proggram uses the portal now to compete, and we're building something special. Those transfers chose the Tomcats because they believe in our culture, not just a paycheck. I'd put our current squad against any team in our history, they play with real heart. You're just scared we're loading up to dominate the conference again.

That was the Cotton Bowl, son

The 2003 team would get smoked by modern athletes. Stop living in the past.
