I remember when the Montana win was considered the first or second biggest win in Bison football history (depending on where the first national championship v Grambling was ranked.)
I couldn't find the threads where we ranked biggest wins by the football program but did find this: http://www.bisonville.com/forum/show...letics-history
I do think the Miracle in Montana would crack my top 10 at least, maybe even top 5...

Someone email Mcfeely to tell him that the AAC makes more sense. I want to hear what Orlando sports radio thinks about it. Get on it Mike we'll all watch that podcast.
If the AAC was on the table, a chance to get into a nationally prominent conference every week would be huge for visibility, and a heck of an amenity.
Imagine hosting a late season game with undefeated UCF, broadcast on ESPN in primetime and the fans blowing the roof off. NDSU would have contended the last four years in the AAC, might have been the favorite this year. It's the promised land, a conference in which NDSU can contend regularly while still having a plausible path to the playoff.
Just noticed that "in the DI era" qualifier. We were D2 that year so that's a good reason to leave it off... but it was also the first game against a DI opponent after NDSU announced the DI move. So the Professor is probably right that it is more of an honorable mention deal.
Looking forward to the inevitable Chapo blow up if a UND game makes the list.
