Disagree. In 2001, there was a little run of conference wins, but we closed out the season with a loss to 1st year FBS move-up Troy, and we made a bowl appearance where we looked like we completely didn't belong.
2004 continued the Sun Belt dominance, but we again got destroyed by OOC competition. Including losing to a 1AA (FCS) team.
Not bad years, but I still see Dickey's "great" run as limited to 2002-03.
The Baylor win was in the middle of the "great run" I mentioned above. Yes, that stretch was fun.
As for the other two wins you mention, Dickey beat Boise State before they were anything special. The Tech win was nice, but Matt Simon had also beat Tech just a couple years earlier. And those two wins were Dickey's only 2 wins that season.
I personally would not prefer that type of loser right now.
