Anybody want to guess when and who ISU is playing?

Nebraska, 1976. Cold day. I was there. Great game.

We've come a long way, haven't we?

That gold cowboy hat is amazing!!!

I had one of those as a kid, probably got it in 1979 and wore the **** out of it!

The Seiler game was cold; I don't recall weather being a factor at all in 76

Damn, Bill and JP, your're right, smart OLD guys. Nebraska 1976, late 4th qtr and Cyclones just scored to go up by over 2 TDs. On the original the gates and the parking lots are empty of people. In twenty minutes or so the goalposts come down for the 1st time at Jack trice.

Hey, I guessed first!

The weather may not have been a factor but it was cold for the fans. These are friends of ours seated next to us at the 1976 Nebraska game. Heavy coats, gloves, stocking caps, etc. were needed for the fans!

Hey, I guessed first!

You're right, you were the first to identify it was Nebraska. The other two had both Ne and 1976...so they got the cash prize.

One other thing i notice from the old photos of Clyde Williams and early JTS, is the total lack of Cyclone gear. No jackets, etc. Some of the goofy old yellow hats with ISU on the bill, but that's about all. Times have changed. One thing I do remember as a freshman in 1975 is being to take practically anything into the stadium. They only prohibited glass bottles. We would take empty plastic gallon milk jugs and fill them with keg beer and bring them in. No problem. You could bring food in, and even smoke tobacco products if you were so inclined.

Expect someone to be able to identify the year. Opponent, given photo quality, is tougher.

I like this guessing-game thread soooo much better than the random "what is this boil on my finger?" or "what species of arachnid is this in my home?" threads.

 

[Sevey]

Ah, my freshman year. Small town kid goes to big university. Holy **** this is gonna be fun!

Also my freshman year. We camped out all night for better seats and froze our asses off!

Earle. F@cking. Bruce.

My man beats NU in '76 then goes to Lincoln in '77 with Nebraska breathing fire for revenge and beats the #9 Cornhuskers in Memorial Stadium. Earle just did not GAF.

 

[Cyclones_R_GR8]

I'm down there.

So was I

And just about everyone had a wine skin - usually full of MD 20/20. Good times.

Many of us had them for the Peach Bowl in ‘77

The rule was if the container had value you could bring it into the stadium. Things like thermos, wine skins and kegs

Didn’t take long for kegs to get banned

OP, did you take that photo from your blimp?

One of the best games I've ever seen the Cardinal and Gold play. Luther Blue is still running.

 

[BWRhasnoAC]

Is it just me or is the topography of current day WAY different than that original photo?

You rang?

I remember listening to that 1976 game and the next years on the radio, while doing farm work. In 1977, nut cup in place I suppose, I was thinking ISU would lose, but didn’t.



IOWA STATE 24
NEBRASKA 21
Oct. 15, 1977
Lincoln, NE

The 1977 box score shows Iowa State and Dexter Green dominating the running game, as I recalled, and a dominant ISU defense:
