Wrong again - Of course 2021 happened and again to Milliman's credit he never sought the pandemic as a crutch. But that does't mean you can ignore the following:
- Hopkins changed the entire coaching staff
- Hopkins had zero fall practices
- Hopkins had a suspension of spring practices
- Hopkins played no out of conference opponents - the 2019 juggernaught you keep pointing to the scoreboard for won 4 OOC games of their 8 - so the 2019 team didn't play an NCAA finalist 3 times or an almost NCAA semifinalist 3 times
Had ALL those things except the first been different - not to mention the noise around replacing the Hopkins legend - I believe the record would have likely been different towards the positive side of the ledger - assuming Delta and other variants don't put the country completely off track - we will get to see a more apt comparison
