Where does yesterday's win rank all time?

I think it was one of MSU's biggest meltdowns in history. They handed it to us.

It is a sign that all is right. Our defense played with confidence and actually closed out a close Big Ten game. We haven't seen that bince 2009. That game was a turning point for this young team, it might not manifest itself this year because the offense is struggling mightily without O'Keefe, but that was a giant confidence builder for the D that will yield positive things for the future. That's why I rank it so high. It feels like the 2008 Penn State game, a sign of good things to come.
 
Defiantly a turning point, program changing win. Next year, when Kurt is hoisting the Rose Bowl trophy, we will look back to Oct. 13 as the day it started for us.
 
Kind of reminded me of the 2007 Illinois game to be honest. Not anywhere near as good as the ugly 6-4 2004 Penn State win. That was epic.

Better Title. Where does this one rank in the ugliest Iowa wins of all time.

Pretty ugly

So hard to tell when you are serious and when you are not.

It was a big win for this group of players. I was at the game. They played with tremendous emotion and I thought the defensive coaching and the play of our lines was just outstanding. MSU had a ton of good athletes on both sides of the ball....
 
Upon further reflection, I would actually move this down 2 more spots behind the 2004 Wisconsin game and the 1987 OSU game. I was thinking more in terms of Big Ten games, surely the Rose Bowl win back in the '50's was huge and the Orange Bowl against GT was nice as well, plus all the wins Hayden had against Iowa State (back when we could regularly beat them).

I think something clicked with the defense, though, and that is what is going to carry us for the next few seasons.

I'll tell you what clicked with the defense.

The defense is Pedro Serrano and the offense is Jobu.

I stick up for you, I defend you, I say **** you jobu, I do it myself!
