Favorite Non-Con Football of All Time Game (non-ToE)
- Thread starter JM4CY
- Start date
That was the season before Bowden became coach.
Also in '75, ISU played (but lost) at UCLA, which won the Rose Bowl that season.
(I don't personally remember that season. Historic references only).
I remember that game and the coach chasing the officials, but I don't remember what made them finally leave the field.
November 23, 1991 vs the Buff's...they were Conference at the time I realize.
All of the fans that were there (not many) were on one side of the stadium due to wind. Cold as all get out.
The day of my old man wasn't going to go, but I talked him in to it. By the start of the 2nd quarter I wanted to leave, nope.....we stayed.

The FSU game at Arrowhead probably takes it, it was some sort of a kickoff classic game 1st week of the season against one of the top 3 or 4 programs in the country at the time with a HOF coach. Sucks to lose but the 2nd half was amazing.
Another nod would be another loss, it was a night game in 96 against Wyoming. They threw the ball all over the field that year so it was an exciting game but IIRC it was the first year with the new overtime rules. Being the first week of September, it was one of the first OT games with the new format.

Just saw that this was to be Non-TOE, but I now I can't make myself go back and delete it.
LSU... 1971 Sun Bowl. ISU's first bowl... when going to a bowl was hard to do. It was before every game was on TV and seeing ISU from my home in New Jersey was very special. To top it off to see my brother on the field for the coin toss gave me a memory for a lifetime.
LSU's QB was Bert Jones and while he was good, even back then, it was LSU's defense that was out of this world. The sad part was Keith Schroeder being ejected very early in the game. his last game ever as a Clone and to leave that way was heartbreaking.
That team had ISU's only first round pick - George Amundson...

Yeah, that was vs Mizzou. Although, the year before, Troy ran for about 350 vs UNLV. I was in attendance and that one was sure fun.
IIRC, we won the coin flip to start overtime and chose to take the ball first. D'oh!
I'm glad you brought that up. I remember the end of that game and that it was the first of the new overtime rules. I was like 10 and my old man taught me the ole "lets watch the end of the loss from the top of the hillside" method so we could get to our car faster after they made that kick in OT.
2018 vs Drake will stick with me for the rest of my days . . .
I had tunnel vision and was thinking only of regular season games. Obviously, 2000 win over Pitt, Memphis at Liberty Bowl was a joyous conclusion to a good season. I'm not old enough to remember the '72 Liberty Bowl vs. GT (a loss) -- I was able to see grainy replay on 'Tube last year (found it via CF member, but now can't remember who posted it).
Well, your not wrong....2018 vs Drake will stick with me for the rest of my days . . .
This is easy. '95 vs. Ohio in the opener coming off the 0-10-1 season.
