Right now, ironically, Boyle is on a Sherman-esque March to the Sea and there isn't a team that can stop them. Maybe FD pulls off the upset, but if they do it will be one of the biggest in KY football history and will make that evening's BGR threads can't-miss entertainment.

Douglas beating someone in KY will never be the biggest upset in history... SMH
At no point did I say it would be the biggest upset in history. I said it would be one of the biggest upsets and I stand by that, headshaking or not.

My comment seems to have caused some backlash, so allow me to rephrase.

6-3 Frederick Douglass defeating the nationally ranked fourteenth best team in the nation would be very shocking. Surely that can't be controversial?

I'll throw you a bone: it could happen. Go back through these threads and I have had nothing but respect for FD. They have great talent and a phenomenal coaching staff. If any team could put the brakes on Boyle's steamrolling, it would be FD. However, if they did it would be colossal. It would bring down one of the top teams in the nation while boosting FD's stock tremendously. If FD beats Boyle, the reactions from KY and across the nation (because it WILL receive national attention) will only prove my point. 

My final comment to everyone who criticizes my opinion on this game's ramification is this: How long will they talk about this game if FD wins? This won't be a typical "strong team faces a pretty good opponent" game. If FD pulls off the win, then they are going to talk about it for a long, long time. Boyle won't talk, but they will remember it. That is what I mean by one of the biggest upsets; both sides will remember it for decades and nothing can convince me otherwise.
