(...in the modern era!)

After only three seasons and a 7-26 record, this shouldn't be too hard.

Added more game details since first posted.

Originally had the 17-3 win over Valpo as being at home, instead of away. (Thanks, 7778.) I edited 97's and 7778's posts below to show this game was AT Valpo.

1. 2008 @ Carthage (W 36-27) - A real thriller that went back and forth
2. 2009 METHODIST (W 48-28) - First home win, down big early and rallied for win.
3. 2008 BIRM-SOUTHERN (L 6-12) - Atmosphere was electric and warm before first game in over 50 years.
4. 2009 MOREHEAD STATE (W 31-22) - first conference win
5. 2009 @ Valparaiso (W 17-3) - first road conference win.
6. 2010 VALPARAISO (W 56-14) - Most fun game to watch as we dominated the game.
7. 2010 @ Butler (W 27-10) - showed the PFL we are a program on the rise.
8. 2010 GEORGIA STATE (L 21-24) -fun game to almost shock a scholarship team at home.
9. 2010 @ Jacksonville (L 24-31) - nearly pulled off the big upset and sent the Dolphins faithful home unhappy.
10. 2010 @ UVa Wise (W 20-16) - game was a thriller but it was too close for comfort against a lower division program.

Re-thinking this...should we keep the list "Greatest" or change it to "Most Memorable". There's a difference. The Apprentice game would definitely fit in the "Most Memorable" category, but probably not the "Greatest".

It might be easier to define "Most Memorable". However, that also opens the door for including CU losses, too.
