Bonagura's text refers to the number of U-S-C first-round draft picks since 1967, which comes out to 68. That's 10 more than any other school, and only 2 are within 20.

So maybe WTF would have been preferable, since I don't see how U-S-C's performance since 1967 could be construed as underachieving.

If there's one thing people have learned in Berkeley, it's that you can't put "Cal football" and "Rose Bowl" in the same sentence. The words just don't fit. You'd be better off linking "covered wagons" with "Mars travel." (Bruce Jenkins, Cal '70, SF Chronicle, Nov. 11, 2017)
