Speaking of first Cyclone games...What was your first ISU fb game?
- Thread starter ruxCYtable
- Start date
1970. Versus Colorado State I believe. At Clyde Williams. ISU won....but they were not a good team that year......they would be much better the next season. IIRC, there was only like 4 home games that year for some reason.
I cant remember an exact game cause I think when i way young my parents took me, but my first vague memory of a "first" game was the ball state game, maybe in the late 90's.
edit.. it was 1998..

yes.
Also played CSU in '83, and nearly lost. Needed a big David Archer-fueled rally to win by 3.
I don't think there was a game at Drake in the modern era. And I recall the '85 loss because I didn't attend. Something about the game the previous (may have even been a W), I thought, "this team is gonna lose to Drake." So I decided to go home the next weekend, and skip the Drake game.
9/24/1966 ISU vs Oklahoma in Ames. We lost 33-11 and I've been waiting for a victory over them at home ever since.
Dan McCarney was new coach Troy Davis was the running back ! I fell in love with Iowa State That day ! Oh I think we were playing Kansas State cause I had a purple coat and people around me thought I was a kstate fan at first ...IT was sooo cold and wet my blanket froze to ground and I left it there.
It was September of 1969, but it was so long ago I can't remember who ISU played and actual date. I was a college freshman and of course got season tickets. They were $10 for a student season ticket and there were no reserved seats.
September 4th, 2004 vs. UNI. 23-0.
I got hooked the next weekend, a 10-17 loss at Iowa. Nothing makes a Hawk turn into Cyclone quite like going into Kinnick in an ISU Band uniform.
6 years with the good guys and going strong!

1992: Neb vs ISU - so cold was planning on leaving at half-time. Stayed and rushed the field, then traveled with goal posts partially up Lincoln Way
My first game as well. I believe we lost 21-14, and commenced a very long season (at least we got to take the goal posts all the way to Lincoln Way against Baylor)
Chizik's first Big 12 win. November 3, 2007; 31-20 over K-State. Had been wanting to go to a game for a long time, and was finally able to talk dad into getting tickets. Went to the Colorado game a week later for that awesome second half comeback. We have a great record in games I've been to. Only three losses: Iowa and Okie State last year and Utah this year.
First game was in 2002 against Tech. Witnessed Seneca's run. Pretty good experience for a first game, although it was as cold as all get-up that night and I only brought a windbreaker.
Mine too.
I wasn't a big ISU fan until I was deciding where to go to college. It was probably my junior year in high school that I really started to follow them, and more-so my senior year of high school. I remember listening to the Missouri game in 2004 on the radio in my dad's shop. I came to ISU, had student tickets, and was pretty pumped for my first ISU game ever. We were expected to be a pretty good team in 2005. The game vs. Illinois St. left me very nervous for the rest of the year and I thought we would be terrible. Then we beat Iowa 23-3 the following week... and we all know how the rest of the season went. Heartbreaking...
i believe it was sedrick shaws iowa team vs my cyclones in ames... was not a pretty day.
I could start a whole new thread called "what was the coldest game you ever went to in Ames" but I'll refrain.
One game I remember being REALLY cold at was a 15-10 upset by the Clones over a ranked Oklahoma State team.
I also remember freezing my *** off at the first ISU night game, a 12-10 loss to Oklahoma. I don't remember if it was actually that cold that night or if I was under dressed.
The coldest game I attended by far was the 1998 KU game. The only time I ever felt unbearably cold at an ISU game. We won though, so it was all worth it...
And leaving them in Lake Laverne! I remember a few people going by while we were grilling out that afternoon with hacksaws hoping to go cut themselves a section of the posts.
