Suck? A bit harsh, no? Denver in recent years has consistently had one of the best non-football athletic departments in all of DI.
In 2016-17, they managed to pull off the rarest of the rare: a Final 4 appearance in each season of competition:
Fall 2016: Men's Soccer College Cup
Winter 2017: Men's Hockey National Champions
Spring 2017: Men's Lacrosse Final Four
Also, Denver and Seattle were stable mates in the WAC for one season back in 2013. Denver were co-champs and crushed the redhawks twice.
Denver= # of seasons in WAC= 1, championships= 1
Seattle- # of seasons in WAC= 6, championships= 0
Denver fans, and there are a number of loyal ones as at any private with athletics success, know the shortcomings of our programs, especially basketball, which is a work in progress. If your school were say, Gonzaga, then I could see where the smugness comes from. But given Seattle's own work in progress, it just looks hostile and petty.
