Bad Hyperbole?

Denver Post sportswriter Natalie Meisler had this to say about the head football coaches at Air Force and Colorado State:

". . . legendary coaches Fisher DeBerry and Sonny Lubick, respectively, built powerhouse programs that have fallen on hard times . . ."

"Powerhouse progams?" Southern California, Ohio State, Alabama, Michigan, Florida and programs of that stature are "powerhouses." Air Force and Colorado State? Nope. Never.

As Inigo Montoya, in The Princess Bride, said about the use of a particular word, "I do not think it means what you think it means."
