THE song when I attended football games back in the mid to late 70's. SOOOOOO cool! Thanks!
For most of my 24 years of ISU fandom 8-1 in conference isn't even something I would have thought of.
I would think of a Big 12 championship back in the old Big 12 divisions like maybe we could win the North at 4-4 or 5-3 and get an upset in the title game. 8-1 or even 7-1 wouldn't have even seemed like a possibility.

I like these days better than those days...
Not sure ISU won 8 games during all of my years in Ames. Seriously.

When the Big 12 announced the round robin, how many of us thought 8-1 was ever possible?
Or when we figured a winning/bowl season could happen in the seasons where we avoided Texas and Oklahoma.
Now we just go ahead and beat them both.
If you went to ISU during the 1990s, I'm sure you are correct.
I wonder how many Big 12 title games this team would have made in those down North division years.
The path to the title is much harder now whether it was winning the round robin (which we just did) or finishing in top 2 of round robin and winning a rematch title game.
Do we have to win in Dallas to be recognized as Big 12 champs? Or is there a regular season champ?
There's no way this team would have gone 0-3 in a regular 3 game non conference.
We're effectively looking at a 10-2 or 9-3 caliber regular season which is incredible.
The fact that we can theoretically break our all time single season wins record in a SHORTENED season is nuts.

What is the ISU historical equivalent of this? The moon landing? Polio vaccine? Discovery of fire?
I am just speechless and in awe of how good this team is.

My senior year contributed zero...but there was that tie.
I'll add that it's not just that we went 8-1. It's that we're alone at the top of the standings.
