I didn't even know about the plastic cup rule.... after we lost to KSU 2 years ago we were leaving the stadium and a couple of KSU fans offered us some beers and we stood around drinking it from the can with them
That
was post game though....
Tailgating was ok - fewer porta pottys and you had to walk to find them, but we were tailgating in a grass lot across from the stadium, so it had an ISU feel to it.
They had a cool pregame intro... making fun of us but it was funny none the less They had a video clip with scenes from Twister, putting Willie Wild Cat in as the guys chasing the Tornado... then they had a "Cyclone" (lets just say it
is hard to stuff a Cyclone

) come running out onto the field being chased by Willie who tackled him.
Like I said obviously anti us, but it
was funny. Oh yeah and we stopped at the book store and they had some free buttons (they were part of a weekly series) asking "We
still want to know whats with the bird in the tornado?" We were ammused, and I still have one of those somewhere (Ammused enough to actually wear a piece of purple that day)
(actually that was right around halloween as well... and so I didn't actually drink after the game, since I was driving first and left shortly after the game to get back to Ames and hit up the bars since everyone was in costume that night - I think that was day lights savings rollover too so we got an extra hour)
