The STAND feels like a defining moment in this season, if not Mac's tenure here.

Hopefully, though, long-term defining moment is later in the season!

Everything about The Stand is just awesome.

[CanaTigers]

This goal line stand will replace the Cash "Catch" for me as the most remembered moment and I am glad something finally takes its place.

That defensive stand should be shown to every new player and recruit the minute they show up for Spring or Fall practice. A real teachable moment. It's who we are!

And a fine article by Vito.

[Coach Bill Lewis]

I agree in principal with this.

[TheColonyEagle]

Have we had anything this catchy since "The Miracle in the Desert?"

[TheColonyEagle]

Except maybe "Miracle in the Desert II"

This stand only matters if the appropriate follow up occurs.

The appropriate follow up is winning at least 8 games this year, being very competitive in the bowl game. and fielding another bowl team next year.

Without follow up, it's just one memorable moment in one memorable season.

Being competitive in the bowl game? Isn't that like practicing for 2nd place.

Losing to a Big 10 bowl team by one score is nothing to hang your head about. Losing by 30 is a different deal.

I think we end up on the HOD bowl

Disagree. It should be shown to every potential recruit the first time they ever meet a coach. "Hang on, we'll talk later. First, watch this."
