Sorry Guys, but I must have been the only one to think that them losing to NORTH DAKOTA STATE was funny. The title to the post was sarcasm and there was no intent to downgrade a great win for our program in anyway.
I don't think anyone disagrees with you on the intent of this thread, there terrible performance has taken away a little from the win. I think the thread has just evolved into what are the programs signature wins thus far.
My opinion,
Hawaii, MTSU, Minn and N.AZ
I think we can argue about the order until the cows come home.
GO OWLS!

simply because it is truly representative of the only time we have come back with a full drive to tie up a game with such little time to do it in, and also win it with back to back touchdowns that were scored in less than 2:00 minutes time…even though one was in OT…

This is still a big win, over a Big 10 program, & BCS team, nobody can take that away from us.

dont shoot me for saying this, but as far as the sheer gut dilligency and playing character goes, i am going to go out on a limb and throw last nights game into the hat as far as top 10 goes…and i would give it the five spot right now…

Right on!!
We did not play our best game, but that is what happens sometimes in conference games…just ask the teams in the ACC, and SEC, and Big 10, etc. We should have won big, but we did not, but we hung in and fought until the end and pulled it out.
That will happen many more times. The fact that we did it, is huge. It truly is a huge win. We did not hang in against OK State. We need to learn to do that and we just took a big step in our program. We won the game we should have won, and struggled to do it, but we did it. Go Owls!!!

Instead of re-writing, I want to mention the game I think this one against ULL reminds me most of when I think about it. Anyone else remember the 2003 Shula Bowl at FIU? We need that game to keep our hopes of being an at large playoff team alive. FAU came out and was down 17-0 quickly. They were trailing 23-21 late in the fourth before returning a fumble for a TD and finally putting the game away. Awesome win and the playoff berth was clinched. Hopefully, we can look back at that last drive against ULL in the same light someday soon.
