*** Official #8 Oklahoma State vs IOWA STATE Game(Day) THREAD ***

[Dopey]

Did special teams win us the game?

Good field goals. A booming punt. They miss 2 FGs.

Crazy.

I have loved the Cyclones since attending my first ISU football game in 1979 (with Fred & Lugbolt Krueger - thanks fellas). My freshman year at ISU (1981), we started out 5-1-1, beating EIU in Ames and tying Oklahoma in Norman, getting as high as #11 in the country, before losing our final four games to finish 5-5-1. That was my introduction to the ISU "gut-kick" and there were to be many more over the next forty years.

These are heady times for ISU football and I've finally learned to enjoy a well-played contest regardless of the outcome, but it's difficult to reset your mind to expect success after enduring nearly four DECADES of heartache. I haven't entirely achieved it yet and sadly, still anticipate the worst! In closing, if you have an older fan in your section being pessimistic, cut 'em some slack - old habits die hard...

i started same time. We took the field after the TOE win, and since they had set up 2x4s to replace the goalposts, it was evident that they expected us to storm the field. I recall seeing pieces of the goalpost proudly displayed in dorm rooms as well as a large chunk that made its way to Lake LaVerne. But those kind of celebrations were hard to find. I attended the OSU game when Thurman Thomas was a Heisman favorite. We could sit literally anywhere as it was very cold and no one attended the game. I nearly caught a field goal in the North bleachers, and sat on the 50 yard line on both sides of the field during the game. We kept moving just to stay warm. Yep, old memories that I hope don't fade, and old habits that don't easily die.

You choosing to die on this hill is lame

Yes. I'm on a forum talking about how lame it is rushing the field and you are arguing me about it.

 

[bosco]

I think I would like your dad. I would enjoy storming the field after a win. I don't enjoy whiners.

Dad would prob have stormed the field in his black socks and not give 2 whoops in hell. But he would still be lame along with everyone else.

No big returns given up

 

[Cyched]

Weird hill to die on, but this is CF, so not much surprises me.

Finding something to ***** about after a win is vintage CF

You sound like the guy upset because all of his “friends” came to hang out at his house just because his dad was so cool.

My Dad was so lame he was cool which made him lame.

I feel like you could use a hug or something.

 

[bosco]

Are you offering? Because sometimes I I just want to held and feel secure and someone to tell me it's going to be alright. Just kidding hugs were lame.

Hugs are the field storming of personal interaction?

You ok @Darius Bieber ?

Were?

Patrick Stevens must not be a real sports journalist though, because this was a thoughtful, informed few paragraphs, but there was no mention that these games aren’t as important as the ones in the B1G or $EC.

Yeah, go figure.

 

[cymac2408]

My hope is that we can shame him into not acting like an idiot all game long.

Don’t count on it. I would make an analogy but it would get deleted by MODS.

 

[cymac2408]

Anybody do a welfare check on the Bieber?

 

[AuH2O]

Unfortunately could not be at the game or watch live. After watching the replay, Manning fulfilled my wildest dreams by running lots of RPO. Thank you Tom!

And Brock consistently ran the RPO better than I can ever remember against a defense of this caliber. The result is 27-33 for 307 yards.
2 TDS no picks. I watched the replay and I think this is Brock's best games as a Cyclone.... so far.

I get the odd feeling he’s in timeout
