Is that from the OU 1984 first night game?
Helmet/uni design is 1980, which makes it the Nebraska game.

Based on the uniform (gold pants, white stripes and gold numbers), it is 1979 or 1980.Is that from the OU 1984 first night game?
sorry- should have read this first. Well doneHelmet/uni design is 1980, which makes it the Nebraska game.
Thought the first game we were on ESPN was in '84. Kind of cool to see we were on in the real early days.
Iowa State’s first televised night game was in 1984 against OU on Homecoming with a 6:45 pm kick-off on ESPN.My first game was in 1981, so just missed it by a year. Thought the first game we were on ESPN was in '84. Kind of cool to see we were on in the real early days.

Good analysis. I knew it couldn't be '84 OU that was referenced earlier (ISU wore gold helmet, cardinal jersey, white pants that game. Had to be Duncan-era since we didn't return to cardinal helmet until Mac (except for Criner "reward helmets").
How can you pinpoint that it's vs. Nebraska? It can't be based on that photo, apparently you remember that specifically being televised. (I listened to that game on radio)

It was the only home game on ESPN that year. And back then, ESPN didn't/couldn't show games live. Everything was tape-delayed.
Sadly, looks like they went home and left it set that way.
And the rest of the east tunnel got sealed, so fill away!Looks like someone is paying attention to this thread.
It's zoomed out now
You’re referring to Jill. Not NE hill. Carry on.Also, there appears to be activity on the NE hillside, a bobcat moving dirt and several workers milling around. Is the sod coming soon?![]()
I totally agree. I understand the requirement to have a paved surface on the outer edges of the playing field for equipment and TV, however, they need to make this a lower slip surface before someone gets hurt. I would imagine they could keep the existing asphalt and apply a low-slip top coat - from a cost savings standpoint. Perhaps they are planning to do something different next year when the grass field is replaced (if anyone has any inside information). This would be the time to do something different
