Along with a very strong run from 2002-2004 (3 Regional Wins, 2 Finalists, all in an era prior to the dilution of regionals).
I'd like to playoff of Karthik's last point a bit. Regional wins meant a heck of a lot more in the late 90s and early 2000s than they do now. There were a lot fewer regionals back then, and until around 2002 or so you could guarantee at least a couple real powerhouse teams at each of them (or during the late 90s, several powerhouse teams). After around 2005, the increasing number of teams and regionals has led to a dilution. While nothing against teams that rack up regional victories today, winning multiple regionals just doesn't mean the same thing as it used to.

No offense to 1114, but I don't think even they would argue that any of their three win seasons (2006, 2008, 2010, 2011) meant as much as 47's three win season in 2000.
