Re: The Age Old Question
1) 254. Sustained excellence personified. At least one blue banner, every year, since they started in 1999. Hall of Fame. Five trips to Einstein (01, 05, 10, 11, 14), winning twice.
2) 1114. All the nice things I said about 254, in slightly smaller quantities.
3) 71. Four world titles makes The BEAST the undisputed kings of the pre-modern era game, which was simultaneously easier and harder to dominate. Whichever way you slice it, their 2001 and 2002 robots are infamous in a way hardly anyone is today.
4) 67. The original Triple Crown team. Six trips to Einstein, three world titles (and dunked on the first by winning Chairman's right after), four Michigan state championships (there have only been eight of them).
5) 2056. The Streak. 23 for 24, and even on that one they left with Chairman's. Two trips to Einstein, including 2012 where the world will never know. Undoubtedly, the best team that has yet to win it all--but they've won a hell of a lot.
