Where does this win rank?

[CL82]

Notre Dame
South Carolina
Maybe the USF game for the championship
HOUSTON.

 

[SHS72]

For a program that has seen the abyss and been reborn--priceless

 

[Chin Diesel]

Consensus is that it is the 7th best win in program history.

Well done Huskies!

 

[Fishy]

I dunno, but it's pretty nice.

1) It officially puts a stake in the heart of the Coach P era. It's over and done with - still struggles ahead, but the stench is gone.

2) The "Wait, UConn's bowl-eligible?" thought that's dawning on the program's media critics makes me happy.

 

[sportsart]

In terms of what it means to the program, I think it is second only to the USF win that sent us to the Fiesta Bowl.

I think we get more burn out of this win, as long as Diaco doesn't hop a plane to an unnamed city right after the bowl game.

Must be a big win. Prez Herbst is in the interview room.

I just got dropped off in front of my condo and a gorgeous 24-26 yr old girl spotted my gear and said"oh my Facebook is full of people saying UCONN is going bowling what does that mean?" The game is priceless for that interaction alone.

Usually Penthouse letters have a few more paragraphs.

This fact alone makes this my 2nd best regular season win.

Behind the USF win. That was a loooooong fg to win it, after they drove down and took the lead. Plus BCS.

 

[NEforceUConn]

A great win. Great to be going to a bowl. And even better that schools north of us, northeast of us, and south of us will not!

 

[Dooley]

WE. ARE. BACK.

This win is the one that one that kicks the GD door open again.

If there is a win against Temple, will Diaco get some looks to move to a P5 school? He could get some consideration. I don't think he's ready. This was a discussion at our tailgate after the game.

 

[HuskiesFan1014]

We stormed in 2007 after USF. I have NO VOICE. hoarse doesn't even cut it. This is HUGE. We have a couple very special years coming, and.tonight was the harbinger of our future. We're back, Baby!

I think the only reason he might is because of the large number of openings... but I think we're safe.

He has proven he can get players to work hard and play up to or above their talent level.

He still has plenty of work to do in regards to his gameday coaching skills.

He has proven his defensive knowledge is real.

He is ours, I think, for at least 2 more years.

It had been all downhill since that game. This win puts us back on the map.

Agree. The gameday needs a lot of polishing. Good for us so he stays.

Diaco's hair for president.

I think, just from how he's spoken with the media, that he's actually happy at UCONN. It would be huge for his legacy if he took us to a P5 conference and continued to succeed there.

But they're never more satisfying.

 

[Waquoit]

Today was the 6th anniversary of the ND game.

 

[UConn85]

For me the best are still the 2002 win at Iowa State and the win at Notre Dame. Was lucky to be out at the game in South Bend - best live sporting event I've ever been at.

Certainly more satisfying to beat ND than Houston.

 

[BugsyCT]

Not sure where it ranks all-time, but it's a "storm the field" win, and those are special. We've only had 2 other ones (USF '07 and WVU '10).

Consider this - beginning of the season we considered Villanova to be an even game, and were pleased that we simply survived it. Today we just knocked off a 10-0 Houston team ranked 13th in the AP poll, and are now bowl-eligible. From where this program has been the last few years to where they are now makes this a great win.
