I actually don't mind that we are #10. Enough to get us more free national attention from ESPN and confirms what most Panther fans know... it wasn't really much of an upset.

THIS. Now that the honeymoon is over, people are starting to think that maybe that team was just pretty darned good.

The Duke Blue Devils beating UNLV should be pretty high up there. That UNLV squad was RIDICULOUS. UNLV hadn't even come close to being challenged all season, and Duke picked 'em off. Great game, actually. I've seen on ESPN Classic a few times. (nerd)

Nothing ESPN says or doesn't say can blur my memory of that game with Kansas nor cause the photo of ALI on the cover of my Sports Illustrated to fade. Memory Made!!!!! And etched in Gold in my own highlight reel of Panther goose bump, head shaking, grin 'till my eyes water, moments.

We get disrespected in this too

Um, not really....

I watched that yesterday and all of those games, including ours, were pretty big upsets at the time, and to make a Top Ten list like that considering all the upsets through the years is actually pretty good.

There are a couple of games I'm surprised they didn't put on there actually; I think VCU beating Kansas a couple of days ago could have been on the list, same for Hampton beating ISU back in 2001 (although as a dual fan I was glad to not have to watch that again).

Agree that a 15 beating a 2 is a bigger upset than a 9 beating a 1. Being on the list is great as that was an awesome moment. But our program is has shown over the past 7 years (the post O'Rear injury time excluded) that we are a good program who expects to win and be in all games.

I'm glad that didn't make it. That game has been erased from my memory.
