STANZ: Upsets are so 1960. Iowa State is shooting for the moon.

  • After Iowa State won the Big 12, a Cyclone made a wonderful offer to We Will that now increases our match. Now all gifts up to $400,000 between now and the Final 4 will be matched. Please consider giving at We Will Collective.

Forgive if already posted, but I didn't see it. I think Jared deserves a Thread for this one!

Great article Jared! Very well written IMO!!

It would be nice if the Cyclones could land on the moon this year!

Even though reading the article was pretty hard in respect to the 60 years. 60 years is a long time!

So what's the bar for storming the field post-Covid?

Just beating a ranked team shouldn't suffice at this point, although does beating a team at home with their history for the first time since 1960 make it worthy?

The real question is... When was the last time Oklahoma was unranked? For the life of me, I can't remember. 1999 maybe?
Like 2017 or something like that.

Unless you mean unranked When we played them. I would guess some time in the 90s if that’s the case.

2014 from end of regular season to bowl game is the most recent I can find where they weren't ranked.

They usually have a 'down' year about every 4-5 seasons and I think this is one of them.

This was my fraternities yard display for Homecoming in 1970. A few of you may be old enough to remember the Spiro Agnew watch in 1970. The Cyclones played OU for Homecoming that year.
-- The clock was designed to actually tell the correct time. Spiro was right just 50 years too late Sooner or Later.jpg
