I think Aztec fans tend to forget the big wins that Rocky has led us to as our HC. Here is my list in order of importance, significance, and quality.
1. @ Boise State 2012 (21-19)
2. Houston 2016 - Las Vegas Bowl (34-10)
3. Boise State 2013 (34-31 OT)
4. @ Wyoming 2016 - MWC Championship Game (27-24)
5. Cal 2016 (45-40)
6. Air Force 2015 - MWC Championship Game (27-24)
7. Washington State 2011 (42-24)
8. @ Nevada 2012 (39-38 OT)
9. Utah State 2015 (48-14)
10. @ Air Force 2014 (30-14)

I have a bad feeling about where this thread will end up.

Cincinnati in Hawaii Bowl should be in there.

Rocky had some great in season wins but I think the last two Bowl wins stand out.

Cincinnati in Hawaii Bowl should be in there. I thought about that, but couldn't justify it. We dominated the game, but Cincinnati was a fading program. Why do you think it should be added?

It was a dominating win over a respected program in a Bowl Game. Fading or not, they were the favorites in that game and we crushed them.

I didn't include the Poinsettia Bowl victory over Navy since Rocky was not our HC. If he was, it would have been number 2 in my book.

Your reason for leaving it off is fair... Reasons to add it at about 7 or 8... 1. Blowout of a solid team on ESPN 2. Finished off our first 11 win season in forever

Utah State 2015 (48-14) 10. @ Air Force 2014 (30-14) My first reaction is the Wyoming MWCCG has to be higher than that, given we wouldn't have had the opportunity to play Houston w/o the victory (most likely). However, it's hard to move it above the other 3 in hindsight. Cincy in Hawaii has to be in there over the last 4 IMO. They weren't a "fading program" at the time. 3 of their losses were tough road losses to better AAC teams, including a 3-pt loss @ Houston, a top 20 team at the time. That was a good team that we simply destroyed, and it was the sole focus on national TV & capped off an 11-win season. As big of a win as Cal was, I think the AF MWCCG was much more important. Conference titles trump virtually anything.

This sounds like all the bulletin board motivation that our Pack12 foes will be using to fire up their teams with.
