Seniors' "Remember When" Thread

[chrishull14]

--Remember in 2004 when Blythe had 100yds receiving in the first half against nebraska. And Meyer threw that long pass to Jon Davis. We beat the huskers 34-27. That was a great day.

--Remember Meyer going crazy in the bowl game vs Miami(OH). He was almost unstoppable for most of that game. He had over 100 yds rushing and passing.

--For the rest of my life, whenever I hear "Texas A&M" I will think about Todd Blythe in 2005.

--Shaggy will always have the Cy-hawk trophy of 2007

--Bowen the leading tackler of 2006

--Meyer to Blythe winning triple OT vs Toledo in 2006



Please add as many as you can think of!!

Jon Banks had some great plays and games.
Barkema has had some big touchdown catches.
Milan Moses
Braaksma and Rubin
All of the seniors have been a big part of Cyclone History.

I could get killed for this, but Shaggy's kick against Iowa will not be the first thing I think of when I hear his name.

I'm with you, SuperCy. Sadly, this year's game-winning FG against Iowa won't be any better than third or fourth on the list of things that I associate with Shaggy. :sad:

Thanks for the buzzkill jerk. It must be nice to walk around all day being perfect. This is supposed to be about remembering all of the good things the seniors have done in their time at Iowa State. Now think happy thoughts!!

Um, I hope there is sarcasm in there!

 

[throwittoblythe]

The game against CU in '05 (aka, the "Cyclone" game) when Blythe caught that pass from Meyer, was undercut by the DB, landed on his head and still held onto the ball.

 

[BvK1126]

Agreed. Might want to use some smilies to indicate your tone there, chrishull14...

You are not the only one.

And when I think of Barkema, I think of his dropped sure touchdown in the end zone in OT against Missouri in 04.

That was a great catch. I was on the cell phone with my Dad at the time as my sister lives in Stratford were the Tornado hit. It took a while for it to sick in as the extra 40 minutes of tailgating that night caught up with me!

Curvey for a TD

Steve Paris for a TD

Mason Crosby kicked a 70 yard field goal or so it seemed and it landed on top of the Jacobson building!

First off, nice comeback. My 12 year old nephew could have come back with better.

Secondly, if you say Shaggy to any respecable Cyclone fan they won't think of the Iowa game. If they do they either have a long term memory problem or have been living under a rock for the past few years. He will ALWAYS be associated with the missed kicks. When you think of Scott Norwood do you think of all of the clutch kicks he made or the fact that he was an All Pro? No. Everybody remembers him for missing the game winning FG against the Giants in Super Bowl XXV.

That's the way it is. Live with it.

Just be happy I don't ding you.

Nevermind, turn about is fair play.

Of course that's what my family remembers Norwood for - I grew up in a huge NY Giants family :wink:

 

[chrishull14]

Why is it so hard to just tell some nice stories about the seniors, instead of rehashing the bad things that happened.

-How about Blythe making the catch while his helmet is ripped off vs Texas this year.

-Bowen getting blocked to the ground and then getting to the quarterback anyway to make a play against Iowa this year. Or Bowen's Int vs Iowa last year.

Bowen getting blocked to the ground and then getting to the quarterback anyway to make a play against Iowa this year.

I think I had these posted before but here is that sequence as seen from my seat!!

 

[cycloneworld]

Meyer running for around 150 yards in the Independence Bowl against Miami (OH).

(Side note: Did we play against Big Ben that game? I didn't even want to try and spell his last name)

I believe that was the year after he graduated.

Do you remember that after they lost to Iowa, Big Ben didn't lose again until sometime into his rookie season. So we had to listen to Iowa fan talk about how they were the last ones to defeat him. Hey, whatever.

 

[galles15]

mine would def. have to be 05 CYCLONE game vs. Colorado went Curvey ran 66 yards for a touchdown. I don't think he's ran that fast and that hard ever. That game was so much fun.

 

[psycln11]

You are not the only one.

And when I think of Barkema, I think of his dropped sure touchdown in the end zone in OT against Missouri in 04.

I was thinking the same!!

In my mind, these will always be the iconic memories I'll remember forever while a student at ISU...

- Beating Nebraska in 2004 and rushing the field as a freshman. It was just an exhilarating experience that can't be duplicated. I told some of the guys on my floor before that game that ISU still had a chance to win the Big 12 North, even when they were 1-3 going into the weekend. They didn't believe me.

(Too bad it never happened. )

- Brent Curvey's interception versus Colorado in 2005. I swear, I could hardly stand, my row's bench was shaking so hard.

- Many of Blythe's catches, but the two that stick out in my mind is the literal "lights out" catch he made versus KSU in 2005. Right before he caught the ball, the stadium lights all went out at the same time. It was still afternoon, but I remember it being a cloudy day, and the evening was approaching.

- I can't remember the team we were playing, but there was a catch that, after securing the ball in mid-air, got flipped onto his head by two defenders, and still hung on to the ball.

- Most of the Iowa game in 2005, but most of that game is a blur to me now. I remember the INT that Drew Tate knocked himself out of the game on, but I was too busy wondering how bad exactly we were going to beat Iowa that day -- the #8 team in the country!

I think you're right. I thought I would have remembered playing against him.

That was Terry Hoeppner's (RIP) last game at Miami (OH) I believe.
