Which win was better for you. I was thrilled today, but I'll still put the OSU win ahead of this, and I'm not 100% sure why. The feeling of the 2011 game has a better feeling than I had today, but today our backs were more against the wall than 2011. What say you?
 
This is tough honestly. The OSU game was more fun, because I was a student, and was far and away the best game at JTS I ever attended.

But I think today was more important for our program, and I almost felt more joy today than in 2011, mainly because of our historic futility against OU.

I think this one is ahead, but not by much. On the road and 17 straight losses, backup qb (2 career starts).

OSU ruined their national championship hopes, OU could still potentially make it.. I'm now im going back and forth
 
I feel better today that we can turn the corner compared to 2011. Excitement for the coaching staff, recruiting, and overall better play so far.

I don't know why one has to be better. Oklahoma State was late in the season and literally they were going to play for the national title.

Today we were down a QB, had a LB play QB, and were on the road against a team that we hadn't beaten for 27 years. That's pretty amazing.

I say both are great, no need to pick the best one.
 
If we are judging on pure emotional reaction, than OSU wins everytime but I think it depends on what happens from here. OSU was really the last big win in the Rhoads era and as time passed it became watered down due to the lack of success thereafter. I think if ISU can get to a bowl and make some gains in recruiting from this, it will be the bigger win.

This one was on the road, with a backup QB to a team that routinely is laughing and making fun of the Cyclones before halftime. It was also won with just 1 turnover.

Sometimes you just can't compare. This one was very satisfying ( mayfield ) based on being on the (baker) road. Loved it.

2011 right now. It was the first time watching college football that I didn't end up asking "Why can't we get just one of these wins?"

This one is awesome and totally unexpected. It might become the favorite over time.
 
Mixed bag

Much rather beat ou because it’s so rare and their players always seem dirty/cocky.

Home night game beating OSU was more exciting from a fan perspective.
 
This one, without question.

Back-up QB against #3 on the road, a blueblood program we've only beat once in like 60 years. Even had it been with Park and coming in 4-0, it would be bigger.

You look a lot older than that.
 
Okie State was MUCH more emotional and exciting. So from that perspective it was better. Plus being there at the game made it much more intense.

This game was bigger "football win" -- in that #3, on the road, against OU - who is basically the Globetrotters to our Generals.

I guess I would say OSU with my heart and OU with my head. How about that for avoiding an answer.

The OSU win was the most amazing feeling feeling I've ever had as an ISU football fan and probably always will be. However, this is probably the better win. It also has the opportunity to do way more for us than the OSU game did. I love how Campbell stressed that to the team in the locker room after the game.
