This Day in Hilton Coliseum History

[pourcyne]

​

The Cyclones started off hot in Johnny Orr’s third season at the helm with five straight wins. The season, however, ultimately proved an up-and-down endeavor. Sitting at 10-9 as the 18-3 Tigers crossed the border to arrive in Ames, the young Cyclones squad relied heavily on sophomore Barry Stevens and freshman Jeff Hornacek.

By the looks of the crowd's attire at that point we had not yet declared Cardinal and Gold as our school colors.

Im pretty sure school branded attire didn't' become a thing until maybe late 80s? early 90s?

Hell Johnny was glad just to have people come to the games.

Probably the start of Hilton Magic.

In a different note did you see the Big 10 network is doing some show referring to Carver Magic.

Those same people in the crowd today are all in the Iowa State Athletics Facebook comments section yelling "WEAR OUR SCHOOL COLORS" whenever we decide to wear black for a game.

We should do plaid/flannel uniforms to appease them

LOL, I can't remember the year but I watched Kansas play in Carver one time. It was so quiet you could hear the players shoes squeak on the court all game long.

There's a few of those old early 80s games on youtube.

Fast breaks were so freaking cool back then - with no 3 pt line (no one running to the corner) every team just tried to dunk on someone.

And with no TV, phones, video, etc - your only memory of these moments was these really cool photos.

I'd love to find that famous Barry Stevens photo from the 84 Iowa game where he fouled out and stomped his feet - the photo showed barry's shoes at the refs chin level his "stomp" was so massive lol.

Some of my favorite memories of those days were listening to Pete on the radio, since not every game was on TV. That is a new concept for my younger nephews and nieces, who can't imagine listening to a game on the radio.

(grew up listening to Jack Buck and the Cardinals, sometimes sitting in my car in the driveway)

They were hardly ever on TV, so we listened to Pete and Eric all the time when I was growing up. Remember this game like it was yesterday.

"Run-n-Gun" has moved on mostly to the NBA.

It doesn't bother me if I can't see a game. Grew up with Pete &Eric, now just listen to JW & Eric. If the game is on TV fine if not no big deal.

Went to this game as an 8 yr old kid with my Dad, still to this day will never forget that last shot going in...
