Yeah I was a Soph at ISU... Hot day. We got into the student section 20 minutes before kickoff and sat in the upper deck. We noticed someone sitting alone halfway up the seats, then my buddy realized the guy was passed out with no one around him.

So we did our civic duty and 8 of us gathered around him and took a picture with the drunk passed out dude. Still have the pic somewhere. He woke up just after the picture only to fall over and a per mar guy noticing him.

Haha now this is a picture I would love to see. 2000 was a special year. Not many expected a 9-3 record after the 4 win season in 99'.

I"ll ask the wife where she put my old pictures... Funny as hell because we were all trying to ask serious in the picture.

Mine was September 15th, 1979: Iowa State 38, Bowling Green 10.

Fall 1969 against BYU. We won 10-0. :smile:

Even have my student ticket punched to prove I was there (Also includes my SFO ticket from the 1976 Nebraska game...seems timely with the NU game this weekend).

Mine was all the way back to 1969 vs. KSU -- they lost 21-10. The Wildcats were a very good team that year with a QB named Lynn Dickey. Ahh, the "good ol' days" of my childhood.

Man, you guys are young - and I'm not. Sometime in the 60's, '63 I think. Versus KU and watched Gayle Sayers run wild up and down the field. Don't remember the score, but it was ugly.

Just think, Sayers almost picked ISU over KU. Wouldn't that been something if he liked our single wing offense better than what KU was doing at the time? I read this in an official biography some time ago.

My family is mostly hawk fans so I didnt actually see a game until college. Sept. 10 2005 was the first game I saw and man was it sweet. 23-3 ISU over Iowa.

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.

I was at both of those games.

Seems like temperature was in the teens for the 15-10 game

The 15-10 win seemed so unlikely. I checked archives and it makes sense: same year ISU lost to Drake, and got killed by Iowa 57-3. (And I just realized — we were Missouri's only win that season

I've already posted numerous times about the OU 12-10 loss. Not as cold as the OSU game — or maybe it was, but since it was a night game, maybe it's a mental thing. :smile: (I was underdressed, too, I think)

 

[cyclones500]

You and I must of been two of the only 4-5,000 people there that day! If I am not mistaken that was the senior year for Thomas and Saunders was a feshman or sophmore.

I responded to the first post before I saw yours — yeah, there was hardly anyone in the stands in the fourth quarter (it slowly dwindled throughout the game). One of my friends was in the marching band that year, and some of us went down and hung out near the freaking band section. Best seats I ever had at an ISU event.

It just figures those types of games end up being wins.

1977, we beat San Diego State 14-13.

 

[beentherebefore]

My first game I attended was the very first game in Jack Trice.

September 20, 1975

ISU 17 Air Force 12.

The Air Force kicker kicked a then-record 62 yarder. Even then, the wind played a part.

 

[CyBobby]

Mine was October 1962 at Lincoln Nebraska and featured Dave Hoppmann-Tom Vaughn vs Dennis Claridge-Bob Brown.


The coaches: Clay Stapleton vs Bob Devaney (his first year)
