Comparing two of the greatest years in OSU sports history.
National Championships are a great measure of a sports program. For me claiming the 1945 title in football some 70 years after it happened and all/most the players from that era now deceased seems kinda hollow. Titles are about the moment, Celebrating on the field, being presented a trophy, being the star on campus, being in the headlines the next day etc. I mean if in 2081, some committee states that the 2011 OSU football team should have played for the national title will a deceased Brandon Weeden really care?
I’ll go with 1988
