You are all too young. 1972 ISU vs Nebraska. Tom Goedjens missed the PAT with no time left, South end zone of Clyde Williams. Game ended in a tie. Nebraska was ranked #4, ISU about 17th. Goedjens never missed another extra point and was one of the steadiest kickers ever.
Redo 1 Play in ISU history
- Thread starter Cyched
- Start date
With all due respect, not sure why this one is in the running unless you were in the field
I don't think we picked offense or defensive but rather which end of the field we wanted to play on. Mac thought the students were being loud and it would make a difference. smh
2005 man...
Greg Coleman throwing the ball on the ground heading into the end zone against Baylor.
The debacle of a last 5 minutes at Missouri including knocking out Brad Smith only to have Chase Daniels come in and light us up.
At Kansas where Brian Luke "ran" for a 1 yard "touchdown" where he was stood up on 4th and goal and taking a knee with a minute plus left needing only a FG to outright win the North...
That season...
Let's not forgot all of AJ Granger's illegal screens and the announcers constantly saying Mo-Pee.
F'in Bill Raftery. F'in Blarge. F'in refs. Man, Mateen Cleeves is ugly.
All this time and all this cussin' and my palate still isn't cleansed from that stupid game. Blech!
I've always wondered if anyone will admit to buying one of those as I assume you're joking here. I thought they were dumb from the get-go.
Anyone want to fess up to actually buying a Chizik coin?
This.
Went to the fridge at this point and there is not enough beer in the house...
Ironically I played in a golf outing this summer with Mr Kuehl and we were all having some drinks and giving some crap to one another on the course and I brought up that play to him just in passing and kidding, but I can assure you, as much as it hurts us, he definitely feels more pain than we do. I wish I wouldn't have said anything I could tell it was brought back some dark days for him.
I was at that game as well. That was painful to watch.
Another game I'm surprised that it hasn't been mentioned was the Jeremiah George fumble recovery against Texas. Iowa State wins that game and the whole season could have been different.
Offense wasn't even the choice. They chose the south end of the field, which allowed Wyoming to pick defense.
Standard Mac offense with the lead, and then the defense forgot how to cover/tackle.

That's funny.....i can see a Cyclones.tv youtube clip that you are forced to watch before you can put the tickets in your online shopping cart...."we commend you for taking the road less traveled....thank you for signing up for tickets...thank you for acknowledging any kicks to your stones were softened by the stones of so many of those that came before you..."
I was at that game, it was my Freshman year at ISU. That really was a kick in the pants to miss the PAT. As I recall it wasn't blocked, he just plain choked and mishit the ball. But at least it was a tie, so not like it lost us the game. Of course this was well before they instituted overtime in college football, so after he missed the kick it was back to the Towers to drown our sorrows. Fortunately, the drinking age was 18 that year!
Look at this whippersnapper here. You should know what's coming next ...
The year, 1923.
The location, Northrop Field.
The time, third quarter.
The player, Jack Trice.
The play, he falls.

The time, third quarter.

After Jack Trice's death, Coach Sam Willaman said he would've been the greatest football player in America the following year. Teammates said he would've been an All-American. Football experts placed him on the same level as other black pioneers that reside in the NFL and College Hall of Fame. He starred in the mythical high school national championship game.
He played one full game for Iowa State. One.
Beyond meaningless sport, the loss of Jack still burns brightly. There have been so many like him, cut down before their time.
As soon as I saw that you had posted in this thread I knew what was coming. Yours is hard to beat.
