Biggest win since 1987

Postby ponyte » Fri Nov 26, 2010 6:17 pm

This is the biggest win since 1987. A team on the road that wins against the odds. And wins in OT which we haven't done since 2004. And the stakes of the game were the most important since 1987. The team had to step up to the next level and did. And on the road.

Note, this team won 3 road conference games. That is hugh.

Proud of these guys and their accomplishment.

I think the Hawaii Bowl win last year was bigger. Win next week at UCF and that will definitely be the biggest win in the last 20+ years.

We now have a 2+ decade post season win streak on the line. Go Ponies, win against UCF.

We lowered the boom and got into the title game going forward, and not waiting to back in with a Tulsa loss. Hubba!

They did what they had to do - they finished the game. They may not have been playing on all cylinders for the first 60 minutes, but that afterburner sure worked well.

I loved the hawaii bowl win since it showed our team was not just a result of a weak CUSA, but the most important post DP win in my eyes was UTEP last year which locked the bowl - a 25 year elusive goal. That game was emotional for many long suffering loyal fans. Not sure that can be topped until we are knocking on the door the way TCU is right now.
