I swear the roof was going to blow off after that third turnover....

Between that and Dexter Green's Peach Bowl, LaFester Rhoades "going off" over Iowa and Cael Sanderson's 162-0, that is.

Edited to add: How about Kelly Goodburn walking on when all three of our punters broke their leg in 1982/83? If I recall correctly, Criner? asked for students to audition, and this yahoo from 8th floor Storms, Goodburn's first punt went 69 yards. Too much alcohol has afflicted my memory.

Hey, we don't agree on much on the political threads...but I'm right with you on this topic brother!

A buddy of mine and I had a run in with him outside the Cave Inn. The guy was a total *******! I wonder how many other "run ins" he had while at ISU. We always used to joke that the team couldn't hit anybody during the games because they were too tired from hitting other students during the week.

I remember Criner open the door's to the locker room during the week before practice to aclimate the players to the cold. Correct me if I'm wrong.

I think this may have been in 85. It was frigid but we won the game 15-10 as I recall. OSU was definitely in the to 10! The field was like a sheet of ice when we ran on it after the game. I always loved the sound of clapping with gloves/mittens on...ahh...those late season games!

How about the 23-23 tie with Nebraska in 72. This is my first memory of ISU football. Goedjan's (sp) only PAT miss during his career or we win outright. I also remember seeing a play in the mid 70's that i've never seen since. I think it was Okie St. I don't remember if it was Luther Blue, or somebody else, but it was on a punt return or kickoff. Luther broke to outside and was screaming down the OSU sideline heading for a sure touchdown when a player came off the bench and ran on to field and made the tackle. I don't think he even had his head gear on. I also think the officials gave us the touchdown. Maybe someone else can elaborate.

We had 5 in a row over KU during the Tinsley (LE) era. If I remember correctly, during the postgame interview JT was asked what it was like to play in Phog Allen, to which he replied "It's just another gym."

Man, his missed PAT was HUGE! Do you ever get the feeling that this special teams gaffe has haunted us on special teams ever since?

After reading Johnny Majors a****iography, I think that game, and Cliff Branch running all over the field in a 61-10 loss, were the two biggest things from his time at ISU that stung him. They had stayed with him for over 25 years at that point, and I am sure that he never forgot them.

I worked the stands that game for ROTC. I was dragging a frickin' load of "ice cold sodas". My buddy and I made some sheets of paper that said "Mixer For Your Booze" and pinned them on our chest and back.... Still didn't sell anything.
