I would probably have a heart attack.
It would mean even more to me. It is 2 different things though. I'll explain it this way. The OSU was a win for the history books. A win at OU would be one for the program's future.
Both are important in different ways. And you couldn't have the implicaitons of the hypothetical OU win without the OSU win. So measuring "most important, most critical and most meaningful" gets very tricky.
Winning at OSU got the historical monkey off of our back and was very difficult for the team to accomplish. Really unprecidented in our programs history. And it will be something that will go into the historybooks as "one of the greatest wins/upsets in program history." Again historically #1 before or after a hypothetical OU win. A win for history.
But winning @OU is nearly as big of a shocker if not bigger for a lot of reasons and is a bigger win in my mind because it isn't one win for the history books. It would set the program on a path where everything is different. Its one that would build so much further into the ability of ISU to build the program for the future. We have a 100 less things to tilt the field for an ISU win. Its going to be an OU team that will be focused, ****** off, less blindsided, maybe better coached and at the very least on = footing as far as time to prepare. We're going to be dealing with hangover, OU's going to be dealing with focused and determined and intense practice time.
Winning @OU would be light years ahead of OSU as far as what it means and especially what it means to changing and building ISU. It would mean OSU wasn't a fluke. It would mean we don't need everything to create an unbelievable advantage to beat an elite team. It would mean that we can beat more than 1 very high quality team in a season. It would strengthen the pattern of big wins on the road. The OU game is all about what ISU is going to do with any type of spotlight going forward for the future of the program. Beating one elite team at home is fantastic for the history of the program, but Beating OU would be all about what we are going to do with the succes and where we could be heading.
Does it fade into the history books or become part of our future. One time that the crappy sayings actually are right. The most important win now is the next one. Hate the c
liché but its true. What is this team going to do with this win.
