What was your first experience with Iowa State sports?

I've come from a long line of Cyclones, so I don't remember a time without them.

My first in-person experience was in high school in the late 90's. We played Colorado, I'm pretty sure. There was some promo where a bunch of high school marching bands were on the field and played the Bells and the Fight Song, with the ISU band. I hated marching band with a passion, but I really enjoyed it that day.

I need some assistant clarifying details. FB vs Wyoming. What I remember is that it was like early in the overtime era and I believe we lost. Mid to late 90s.

Sitting in about the 20th row lower section west side between the 30s watching Jameile (sp) Holloway eating a hot dog talking to the cheerleaders with his pads off by halftime. It was written in paint on Lincoln way "beat Oklahoma the sooner the better" True story.

My parents have had wrestling season tickets for as long as I can remember. We would go to wrestling meets in the 80's, there was usually a social afterwards for the wrestling club. We would also make a weekend of Cyclone events and catch a men's gymnastics meet and a wrestling meet and stay at a hotel in Ames for the weekend (we lived about an hour away from Ames).

As kids we weren't too into sitting at wrestling meets all the time so we would run laps on the outer concourse at Hilton. When they made it impassible for Johnny's, I was a little upset for nostalgia's sake.
