Favorite Cyclone Football Memory?

[CYdways432]

In an attempt to bring up some positive news. What's everyone's favorite cyclone football memory or experience?

Top 3 currently are

1. 2017 TCU game, I know it wasn't a sell out but the tailgating / atmosphere that game was awesome.

2. Alamo Bowl Trip, the Cyclone take over at the River Walk, The pep rallys with massive crowds was awesome.I know the game wasn't the outcome we wanted but overall still a fantastic trip.

3. 2011 Oklahoma State game, just watching the fans not give up hope after going down early then on side kick was still such a crazy call. Gives me goosebumps thinking about it.

Lets blow this thread up with some positive memories!

2011 OSU. Both my kids with me, oldest was in school there at the time.

this exchange is on one of my kids phones:
"This is the happiest day of my life!"
"What about when we were born?!?"
"Not even close!"

In person, Marv Seiler game. Overall, probably the insight bowl win. Wasn't long before that just getting to a bowl was a pipe dream, let alone winning one.

2011 OSU game. Just an unreal feeling when Woody scored the game winner.

Similar to yours (all in-person experiences):

1. 2011 Oklahoma State game. Junior year of college, Friday before break, just an unforgettable night.

2. 2018 WV game. Just so much fun to see us dominate, debut of the black uniforms, electric atmosphere.

3. 2017 TCU. I can’t remember an atmosphere in and around JTS that was so consistently electric and fun before, during and after the game.

4. 2002 Texas Tech. Last time we were in the Top 10, Seneca was a legitimate Heisman contender, a lot of buzz around the game. I think I yelled “what are you doing??” when Seneca retreated back to the 30 at the beginning of the run. Still couldn’t quite believe it even as he was running into the end zone.

5. 2011 Iowa. Only CyHawk win I’ve seen in person at JTS (grr), junior year of college. We were all on pins and needles through the 4th quarter and OT only to see clutch play after clutch play. From the student section upper deck we saw White had the corner as soon as he took the pitch and just erupted.

Defintely 2011 Okie St. Jack Trice was literally shaking. We went home and watched the replay on ESPN (or whatever) again.

Ah yes, memories of The Old World.

Seeing Matt Campbell dance is great

My favorite is probably the 2018 West Virginia game. That was pretty much a big party from start to finish aside from a blocked field goal. The flashlights were pretty awesome that night.

TCU 2017 was fun too, but a lot bounced Iowa State's way in that game with less domination.

Hard to beat the 2011 OSU game.

No particular order here

Streaming a bootleg of the 2010 game vs texas was fun to watch. Finding the youtube video of a texas fan who does reviews of games afterward melt down was a nice bonus.

2011 cy hawk game

Deciding to go to the 2014 CyHawk game in Iowa City on a whim with the person beside me in class the day before the game was a fun time.

Travelling to the bowl games over the recent years has been enjoyable. My football travelling friend has been banned from booking hotels though after he got us a Super 8 in Memphis. Still surprised we didnt catch anything there.

A bad pass on fake field goal in 2010 prevents another from this list. But, this will never get old.

Seeing Matt Campbell show emotion is great

FIFY

In person: 2005 vs Iowa and Colorado Tornado game.

Watching on TV: 2011 OSU, Triple OT Iowa win, 2017 @Oklahoma.

All of the ones so far are pretty obvious. So let's go with a lesser one-- Iowa @ ISU, November 2011. The 9/11 attacks forced postponement of the game to later in the season. Good guys take a 14-0 lead into the half, Hawks tie it up 14-14 going into the fourth. We score the only 3 points the rest of the way to hold on to a 17-14 win.

Tough hard fought game where we won the turnover battle. Despite the circumstances, I loved that we played our in-state rival at the end of the year. I wish it was that way every year.

In person 2011 OSU

Otherwise @OU in 2017. That's our biggest win in program history imo.

 

[coolerifyoudid]

Todd Doxzon right for 2 yards, Todd Doxzon up the middle for no gain, Todd Doxzon right for 1 yard, punt

That sequence really brings me back

I think the TCU game might be my favorite recently anyway. It showed that the OU game wasn't flukey, and it was also a really good game overall.

I watched the 2011 OSU game on my bday with a bunch of friends, none of them ISU fans, or even familiar with why it was so profound. They still tell me they don't know why I was so excited.

1976 Nebraska game. Standing on the sidelines toward the end of the game taunting the big bad Huskers. Several plays in a row the Fuskers run end run plays into the sidelines and those pesky Iowa State fans. After the game Osborne said they were bothered by the Iowa State crowd- 'bedlam' he called it.
The next year the Cyclones beat em again but can't blame the crowd. Earle Bruce and the Cyclones leave a message in the visitor locker room board--"Some fluke, beat Oklahoma."
