It will not be the best team we've ever beaten but will be the biggest win.

You are right. I wonder who started it? :D
DOH.
I just think anyone who thinks SB or Ball state is bigger than this just isn't paying attention.

5 years from now, if we win, people will still talk about this year being the first time we made the playoffs and beating the #1 ranked team in the country to do it. Somewhere later in the paragraph they'll also say, "Oh yeah, we beat an FBS school that year too", maybe. Not even close, this is the biggest win ever up to this point. Of course, once we win the national championship several weeks later, this will pale in comparision to that win. :D

Even I'm not drinking the :koolaid that much...yet. Let's get in the playoffs before we even joke about winning the national championship, which would probably involve either beating NDSU or a team that beat them.

This would be the biggest win in program history. simply because of playoffs. and the fact that the one year I decide to be a skeptic they prove me wrong :) Which admittedly happens quite often if you ask my wife. I still don't think its going to happen but I'll be pleasantly surprised and very willing to accept any flack you jokers can throw at me. Someone text me during the game since i'll probably be driving our equipment truck back from wofford at kickoff.

doesn't matter who were playing, if its win and were in the playoffs , lose and were out, its the biggest win in school history, let alone the fact that its A) our biggest rival and B) against a team currently ranked #1.

i also think if we beat coastal will be asking this question for every win until our season is over.

Would Eric Green have been a top 25 pick in the NFL draft without the Eastern Michigan game? I doubt it. And that is just one example why they aren't just exhibitions.

Of course, when we move up not a single person will care about wins over Coastal, #1 FCS teams, playoff berths, or FCS national championships.

Careful. You'll be associated with my people if you keep that up!

He's secretly leaned towards the dark side for years. He's somewhat of a double agent.

Me either. A win would absolutely be the biggest in the program's history. It would be a victory over the #1 team in the country (deserved or not) and would guarantee a playoff birth. There's nothing that could possibly compare to that. If there is, somebody needs to explain it to me in simple terms so I can understand.

Based on the QB and WR situation, combined with the implications of victory makes us state this will be, if we pull it off, the biggest WIN in school history.

It would be just another win in my book, because my mindset is that we are supposed to beat every team in our conference. It should just be a part of who we are, how we think and what we do. I would celebrate, no doubt, but don't look for me to rush the field.
