We beat Vandy something like 20-17, would have been in '85 or '86. I still have the program at home somewhere.

Iowa State - 27
Iowa - 9
It was glorious as an ISU fan who grew up in Eastern Iowa.

Missouri @ Iowa St 1985. My memory is Alex Espinoza hit about 10 receivers right in the numbers only to have them drop the ball. ISU got down early and made it close at the end before losing. There was maybe 20k in the stands that day. No real tailgating. Totally different world on game day now.
A lot of candidates but maybe the most deflating loss in ISU history.
The team was supposed to be good (not true) and laid a gigantic egg.
Pete could hardly get the words out of his mouth (hard to with the gag reflex and all).
'97 against Colorado. Lost, I believe.
But there was some promo where they assembled a bunch of small town high school marching bands, so we got to play on the field, at halftime, I think. Played the fight song and the Bells.
I really don't remember the particulars, but I was jazzed to go as I was an avid ISU fan already :yes:

Let's see if I can do this all off of memory...
October of 2001. KSU @ ISU. Dad and I decided to drive down at the last second to see my brother and go to the game. We didn't really know too many players so we stopped at a gas station to get some food and a newspaper. As dad drove, he instructed me to learn as many players as I could so we didn't sound like idiots when conversing with other fans. I distinctly remember learning "Willie Jud", I think a defensive tackle. Random, yes, I know.
We scalped tickets and sat right smack dab in the middle of the KSU section. Before the game, the PA announcer kindly asked "every to please stand and that gentlemen remove their hats...." (Everyone stands up and the KSU fans place their hands over their chests)..."For the singing of the Iowa State fight song!" All the KSU fans do a quick look at each other and promptly sit down. One guy ahead of us nudged his buddy and said something along the lines of "they got us pretty good" and they both laughed about it.
The game was...ugly. I think it was 42-3. I remember Aaron Lockett (I think) returning punts for KSU. I don't remember much else, other than they botched a snap on a field goal and sent the ball halfway across the field.
Naturally I could remember all this (and a few more details I left out) but I couldn't remember chemistry to save my life in college.

1989 ISU vs. iowa at JTS. ISU was up at half time I believe, than lost 31-21. First time ever on campus. I remember the lots had radio stations set up with free tailgate type food. I was on a first date with a nice ISU alum who would become my wife. We met a friend of hers in Hilton and watched the basketball team play pick up and the friend gave us a pass to get in; must have been a hillside or something as we had no seats.

And the game started with a 49-yard TD pass from Dean Carlson to Ike Harrison Iowa State's first offensive play of the day. We were in the south end zone with a perfect view of the play developing and the TD in that end zone. Th weather was perfect and it was great day to be a cyclone!
I believe it was Drake 1982. ISU won 35-10.
I was excited that Gov. Robert Ray walked by my brother's tailgate and said hi to us.

First game I remember attending attending was the Oklahoma game in 2003. 53-7 trouncing. Jason White ate us up.
My freshman year. Remember sitting in the stands with friends asking WTF just happened. I think Pacific dropped football a few short years after that.
1996 - Wyoming knocked off the Clones in OT, but I was officially converted (I grew up in Eastern Iowa).
