Worst ISU Football Team You've Watched

The discussion about how sports were during our college years would be an interesting thread -- see who had the best and worst overall experiences. Plus it'd give another chance for the younger CF members to laugh at us geezers for how old we are. 
That would be a good time period. I was fall of 10 to spring of 14. I think that was pretty lucky too. Only 1 really bad football season and 1 really tough basketball one. Got to see Hilton come back to life.
I was in Ames from fall 2005 to fall 2010.
******* terrible timing for sports.
A few bright spots (e.g., winning our last game in Lincoln and clowning Iowa somehow) but mostly just a series of disasters, especially for basketball.
WBB and VB were really good, though.

100% agree. May have been more liquor bottles than people in the stands....
It certainly was. Only thing we had to hang our hats on was the bowl win in ‘09 and that was probably the most boring game I’ve watched. The road trip was fun though.
'97 was the year we beat a horrible Baylor team at home for our only win and the students tore down the goal posts. That was the last time they have ever come down. Fans have bent the posts, but have never broken them.
I was at the Nebraska game. It was my sophomore year, and my allegiance to my childhood team was starting to flip. I wanted to root for the cyclones in that game, but it got out of hand so quick. 7 1/2 minutes into the game and the score was 28-0. They had 7 possessions in the first half and 7 TDs, culminating with a Frost QB sneak as time expired at halftime. My HS buddy and I went back to his dorms at that point.
The Colorado blizzard game Nov. of 91' made the KU game of 13' seem like a nice winter evening. The worst season/game........seen too many. However, the one game that sticks out in my mind is a game against OU in the mid 80's where the Sooner starters came out with sweats on to the start of the second half.
I "remember" at one point a couple of Ames police officers walked down our aisle and noticed flasks, bottles, and cans everywhere. LOL the officers just looked at each other, shook their heads, laughed, and just walked away.
I was in high school at the time but staying with my brother (student) for the weekend and I may or may not have assisted in tearing those goalposts down. After they came down the students carried them out of JTS and threw them in lake laverne.

I was at ISU from 2003-2008. I was in marching band for the 2004, 2005, and 2006 FB seasons. It was a mixed bag of sports for me during my time at ISU. 2003 FB was awful, but I didn't pay it much attention. Got to go to two bowl games while in marching band: Independence Bowl and Texas Bowl. 2006 was an abysmal team, but got to see McCarney go out with a bang.
BBall during that time wasn't great. I think I may have attended 2 or 3 mens bball games my entire time at ISU. I saw the Morgan/Stinson/Blaylock/Clark years where the biggest highlight was almost reaching the finals of the NIT. I've honestly never really followed ISU Bball for this reason, I think. It wasn't great when I was there, so I never really got hooked on it.
