We have already touched on the identity and culture they have developed over the years in this thread. It's not a respected program in the area, and probably never will be. In my mind, Murray has never been a program that wins the games they shouldn't. For years they filled their schedule with teams they should and did beat. While beating these teams, they would pound their chest like they were really doing something. They avoided good competition that would make them better in the long run. In doing this the identity and culture of the program was built........a team full of players and coaches that are not confident in themselves going into a game that they probably shouldn't win. So, with MF you have a program that is respected by the teams that do and will in the future play them and a team that will go into EVERY game with the mindset that NOBODY will beat them. On the other hand, with Murray you have a program that is not (and more than likely will not) be respected by other programs they face, and when they approach a a team that they maybe shouldn't beat, they likely will not do so.
There are other factors that apply to the situation, but that is my view of the comparison.
