Favorite ISU FB Game You Saw in Person
- Thread starter ItsCyence
- Start date
Tornado game - those only come around once in a lifetime. The wins against Iowa and Neb we have won before and will again. The tornado was something that may never ever happen again.
2001, Nov 24 vs Iowa... Seneca and company
It had been postponed because of 9/11 and it turned out to be perhaps the best game ever in this rivalry. Plus it was my birthday lol.
Anyone else at that one?

1992 ISU 19 Nebraska 10
We dominated in both lines against a superior team. Games like this always give you hope on any given Saturday.:smile:

This by far! Wife and I arrived early.....walked about 3/4 a mile to Kinnick...plenty of Hawk BS thrown at us along the way....but halfway through the 3rd quarter Kinnick looked like Carver Asylum Arena . Expect of course for all the cardinal and gold in the south end zone! I had been to many Hawk/Clone games before that at the Jack where it was empty by halftime. So it felt good to have the sun shine on our butt that day.
Was at "The Run", never forget that one.
Tailgated for the "Tornado" game, but had to bartend at Whiskey River. Rode my bike from the tailgate to Main St while the tornado sirens were going off. While I didn't make it to the game, that was pretty cool.
Was @ Nebraska last year, see my sig line pic (with my brother, a NE fan). It'll be hard to top that one I think.
Lots of good ones to choose from but my favorite was the 2002 iowa game. I sat with my grandparents who have season tickets and remember telling them that iowa state was a second half team and would come back to win (i was about 10 at the time). I was just so sure of it and sure enough Seneca and the gang rallied and shut up the Kinnick crowd. Will never forget that game. 05 Colorado, 05 Iowa, 07 Colorado are all great memories as well.
I can't believe no one has mentioned the 2005 Colorado game! :no:
In all seriousness, that was probably the most memorable game any of us will have for a long time. Colorado was in the top 25, and was one of the games that had to be won if we were to ever have a chance to win the North that year.
We remember distinctly seeing a cloud formation walking to the stadium shaped like a profile view of Cy's head, and declared it an omen that ISU had to win the game. Absolutely amazing atmosphere for a game, and of course the crowd's combined electricity after Curvey's "Fumble Rumble" probably could have powered a small Iowan town for a week.

What are you smoking? It has been mentioned more than any other game...:biglaugh:
'98 @Iowa was pretty fun. The whole game we were just waiting for the shoe to drop and ISU to lose it somehow, but they just kept stopping Iowa. It was great to see that damn streak finally broken.
For me it's a tie between 2004 vs. Nebraska and the 2005 opener. The Nebraska game was my first ISU game, and the win just made it that much better. The 2005 opener was my game in the marching band.
Something I just remember about the Tornado game. After ISU won, the student section wanted to rush the field, but the PerMar guys were blocking off the entire student section. Everyone was ****** and yelling stuff at the security guys when suddenly, some drunk guy takes off through the line of security guards. ISU and CU were still on the field and this guy was running around with security chasing him. The whole student section was cheering this one drunk running around going crazy, it was great. He was running around the CU players praying at midfield when one guard finally grabbed him. He started to walk with the guard, accepting that he was going to jail, when he suddenly shoved the guard to the ground and ran off into the growing crowd of students that had broken through the security guys. I will never forget that old, poor security guard falling flat on his back with his legs sticking straight up in the air when he got pushed down. The student got away too.
Man, the student section was crazy that night.
