A Sea Of Red

I was looking through CS.com's Stadium section and we actually have a chance to get the 200th win in program history this year. If we lose to NC State and Beat RMU (as most are expecting), our first shot at 200 wins...JMU on September 17

That's dirty.

So you're saying a win over a top 25 (FCS) JMU team is > the win against Ball State? I think it'd be close, probably leaning BSU, just cause of their FBS standing.... right

Definitely think it might be the biggest home win in school history!

We got the 100th win in school history at home...of course it was against Catawba...but still a milestone win (Oct 22, 1994 for anyone looking for the specific date)

Or, if we're pessimistic, we get our 200th win against Kentucky Wesleyan.

What a downer! Boooh

Here is the thing...if we pull off an upset against NC State, we would actually get our first shot against Robert Morris...but Id love to get win #200 on Hall of Fame weekend

While I do think the Ball State win last year was huge, I think beating JMU this year is bigger. JMU is an in-state FCS rival, and in many ways a program that is where we would like to be (playoffs, national title, respected power, etc). Ball State could easily be looked at as an upset (I don't think it was really), while beating JMU would IMO be a message that we've arrived as an FCS contender in a state that is packed with older FCS powers.

Bing bang bong. Well said

10,000% agree.

I believe our biggest win so far was our first FBS win against E Michigan or one of those Michigan schools with Robbie Justino and Eric Green. The biggest win could easily come this year, probably against SBU, to put us in the playoffs for the first time. Just my opinion.

Agreed on both counts. Although I certainly believe a 1st round playoff victory would eclipse everything else. That said, beating JMU would be especially sweet whether there is a milestone attached to it or not.

WE WILL GO 5-0 to START THE SEASON ....THIS IS OUR YEAR !!!....2 LEGIT CORNERS REALLY HELP !!!

It would be pretty epic to get the 200th win in program history against an in state rival, on Hall of Fame weekend with a former football great being inducted as well as the one who was on the mike for the vast majority of our 190 wins prior to last season.

Bumping this up because we are going for our 200th win in school history on Saturday night
