I WAS THERE!
- Thread starter VTXCyRyD
- Start date
I was on the top of the southwest hillside for the first half and at the bottom of the northwest hillside for the second half. Jumped the fence as soon as I saw no flags on the last play. Successfully encouraged five international students who were a little unsure about storming the field right before our last touchdown. A soon as Woody crossed the line they already had one leg over the fence!!!
I was there with my stepdad and it is a memory we will cherish forever. we have been to some stinkers over the years but this made it worth it.
I was there....section 19......my wife stated it best......."This is why we get season tickets!!"
I WAS THERE!!...1st Time I rushed the field. (First time for alot of things this weekend it seems)
I think what I took away the most was when I was re-watching the game on TV I mentioned to my wife, that even though we were down 24-7 it didn't seem like it being AT the game...it seemed like we were always in it. But watching it on TV was a completely different experience, it seemed scarier.
just what I noticed.

Best $11 I've ever spent. Well, $22 since my wife came too. And $5.50 for total rip-off "funnel cake fries"...fair warning, don't buy those. Anyway, what a game! The whole time, just seemed like Destiny!!
The OSU fans near me took it well, but they lived in Iowa so maybe were a little less invested.

Was not there. Here in FL and was unable to get my tickets used.
Watching on TV I was trying not to get loud but when Barnett hit the open wheel route on the first OT play from scrimmage I let loose a little bit despite my best efforts. Nail biting in the OSU possessions until the interception. Then wondered how the pressure would affect the kicker when ISU took the field and lined up. Watched in disbelief as Woody tore through the line twice to get well inside the 10. Then when Woody crossed into the EZ I let out a big, "YYYYEEEEEEESSSSSSS!!!!!", jumped around a while, and went into the bedroom to wake up my SO. I had to share it with somebody, LOL; kind of groggy but a bit disbelieving, too. Of course it's a hour later here so pretty much midnight when all that happened.
Too keyed up to sleep after that so enjoyed our online family celebration here on CF (BTW - thanks, Chris!) and watched me some ESPN until after 3:00 AM before finally crashing into oblivion.

Season ticket holder. At 5:45 on Friday my 5 year old son got sick who was coming to the game with me. Wife was out of town and had no baby sitter. It was pretty apparent a little after 6:00 that there was no way he was going to be able to go to the game. Gave someone my tickets at the last minute. You guys have no clue how mad I am that I missed the game especially having to listen to everyone that was at the game.
I am having to tell myself that me not being there and sending some friends instead was that final good luck charm they needed for the game.

Looked on-line on Cyclones.com to buy the photo with everyone on the field...and what do you know....the wife, kids and I are right in front. Bought that framed right away.
After the game I told my wife, "damn, should have jumped on those cheap tickets". She said if I had gone they probably would have lost. I am just superstitious enough to believe this, and it's the only thing that kept me from being really ****** off.
Im superstitious as can be. I have a routine I started this year with alternating shaving my head before certain games. I realized after the fourth loss that I was off due to the bye week early in the year and adjusted accordingly and haven't lost since.
You can all blame me for that 4 week stretch.
We got tickets from a friend. May be my best friend now! Talked to some people who I know have season tickets and at least 4 of them said they didn't go because they thought it would be too cold. This seems to be a problem with our fan base each year with these late season games. Hopefully they learned a lesson and will support the team the whole year from now on. My feeling was the mood and excitement for much of that game was bigger than most of the games I've been to and experienced "Hilton Magic."
I was there. For the superstitious types that did go, I'll be wearing the same stuff next year -- for the cold weather games anyway. 
Woke up about 3:30 AM and didn't go back to sleep. I was a mess on Saturday.

I WAS THERE!!!! So was my dad, best friend and brother-in-law. So glad my dad got to see the biggest win in Cyclone history! My friend and I rushed the field for the first time ever. Even though I'm 49, I felt like I was 20 again running onto the field to celebrate. Was even able to spot us on one of the ESPN clips Saturday morning!
I had scheduled a vacation for last week planning to do something for our 20th anniversary. We decided to wait on a trip and when I mentioned to my wife it was a Friday game she immediately said we should go. Awesome wife! So we drove from Virginia for the best football game ever, she had a great time and will be up for a return visit. Tickets $11, parking $20, gas $600, memories for a lifetime....priceless.
Now what do get my wife for our anniversary?
