That Drake Game a 21-17 Loss came after a 59-21...(1984) Beat Down in JTS by the Hoks.
I ATTENDED BOTH GAMES...This might have been the Lowest Point In ISU Football History IMHO!!
Have you ever been embarrassed to wear Cyclone Gear?

NO way to defend this season as a Major Disappointment...LOSING TO IOWA CONSISTENTLY DOES NOT HELP...
"The first thing I have to do here at Iowa State is to stop this LOSING STREAK TO IOWA.".....Quoting Coach Dan McCarney on his arrival at Iowa State
Reluctant to wear the logo? Pretty arrogant and mis-informed statement. State fans have been loyal sons long before Campbell arrived. Johnny Orr did plenty to stoke the Cyclone fires. From what I understand, fan enthusiasm is one of the things that attracted CMC.
I never owned any Cyclone gear in college because I had no money. After graduating, anything ISU was scarace in eastern Iowa, but I finally purchased an Iowa State jacket that I wore proudly as a resident of Iowa City (my wife was interning there), and purchased a sweatshirt with the "new" twister logo during Criner era. Then, added a Starter jacket with the "bird-in-a-blender" logo to my collection during the Mac years. Today, my closet is full of cardinal and gold.

I grew up through some tough times of Iowa State athletics especially football and not once have I ever been embarrassed.... Heck dealt with some heckling over the years for wearing it at times but still wore it and defended it . I think a lot of CMC but with him to keep saying this I fear he doesn't understand a very loyal long term fans that have never been embarrassed to show our pride . Yes there have been times of frustrations or the times that we got our asses kicked and it sucks and sick of getting kicked in the stones.
I haven't read the whole thread. I thought he was talking about players on the team not wearing ISU gear around. Of course Ross Peterson has no problem spending 20 minutes twisting Campbell's words into a segment.
I grew up in Western IA, graduated in 82, left the state and moved back (to Eastern IA) in 1889. That was I believe year 12 of the 15 game win streak and I was amazed how fricking in sufferable Hawk fans were at that point.
I still wore ISU gear on a regular basis and quickly found out that if you start asking questions to Hawk fans about their own program or other Big 10 teams most will shut up and slink away.

My friends owned a bar called Kinnick South. If you can wear it in there, you can wear it anywhere.
Sorry to hear your kids chose the Dark Side.... But glad to hear you stuck with ISU through and through.
Gotta admit, some of the gear with the blue color was a bit embarrassing to wear, but I still wore it.
Well, you commented on it. Clearly, your reaction was an emotional response to our emotional responses. Stop being offended by others' offenses.
Agree. Classic CF message board response--my opinion over-rides your opinion.
