Most interesting tie in school history?

The highlight of the day for me was watching the Cyclone cheer/mascot squad run Pistol Pete crotch first into the goal posts. My first Cyclone game, it's amazing I ever went back.

Most painful.

I wasn't around but it had to be as painful as the Kansas State game at Aarowhead when we had the best comeback ever against them, only to miss the last second extra point to lose 28-27. Talk about the nutshot game. My brother looked at me right before and said "We are going to miss this extra point". We all laughed and just stood there with smiles on our faces after we missed it. Not even mad, just laughing.

I was at that game. Went from a super high when Willie Jones caught a pass in the endzone to tie the game, to a huge letdown when we missed the extra point.

I too was at that game. My Uncle and my dad were drinking quite heavily when nebby was up and when ISU started the comeback, they said that they'd stop drinking if ISU tied it...and then sadly, started drinking again after the missed extra point. The nebby fans were something else before and up to the come back but afterwards were not a happy group o'people!

And Oregon were called the "Webfoots" until 1947

before 1899, nebraska was the bug eaters.

IIRC Iowa got mad over them and sent a cease and desist to WRNL over them.

In my days of interviewing Iowa State athletes and coaches, two people from the sideline that day shared their take on the missed PAT:

"...we missed the extra point, it would’ve been one of the greatest victories of Iowa State," head coach Johnny Majors said.

“I think it was 23 seconds left on the clock and we scored, tied it up, fans emptied out of the stadium and they were all on the field, they took a few minutes to clear the field. I’m sitting there and I was praying,” linebacker Ted Jornov said with a laugh. “Goedjen was walking back and forth and he shanked the freakin’ kick off to the side. The fans still tore the stadium down. We were in the locker room showering and fans were out there pounding, it was a glorious day but we should’ve beat them. You can’t fault him (Goedjen) too much because he did win some games for us, you gotta look at from both sides.”

If I recall correctly it was the only missed PAT of his Iowa State career.

At that same game, same interaction with a good friend! Ugh!
