Nov 24th 1973 ISU 28 - 12 over OSU
Oklahoma State’s Deacon Stephens came off the sidelines to clothesline tackle freshman QB Buddy Hardeman. . The officials ruled an Iowa State touchdown even though Hardeman was tackled on the OSU 36-yard line. The play occurred early in the fourth quarter and gave Iowa State a 21-0 lead.

Mid to late 90's. I don't remember much but it was back when ISU had a policy where you could enter the stadium for free after halftime. That's how low ISU football was in the mid 90's. Still a fan ever since waiting for us to break the loser culture.
First that I remember also. Walked up with a whiskey coke in a hyvee bottle and could barely make it. Sobered up during game and got a hang over. That was miserable.
I didn't actually go to a game until I was in college and in the ISUCF'V'MB.
2000 vs Ohio
We won 25-15 to begin what would end up a 9-3 season with a trip to the Insight.com bowl. Our first bowl win ever and first trip to a bowl since 1978!
I got to go to 3 bowls with the band in my 4 years. Insight.com, Independence, and the Humanitarian bowl.

I think it was 1973. I was 6. I went to the game with my Grandpa and my Dad. I don't remember who we played. I know we sat in the end zone at Clyde Williams and I remember that there was a streaker that ran across the field at some point.
I remember this game well too. I was ten and after attending almost every game the previous season (my dad's friends told him it was child abuse), I remember walking into the stadium that night and thinking that I had never seen so many people at an Iowa State game. Looking at pictures and clips of that game now there were a lot of empty seats. Makes a person appreciate the new endzone and a full stadium that much more.
1978 vs Colorado. Earle Bruce vs Bill Mallory. Best memory is of Dexter Green getting helmet ripped off and going for 40 yards without a hat. Those were really great teams. Solid line talent with great skill players. But, for my money the best all time ISU team was the 1976 team that went 8-3 with no bowl game. Dexter Green, Tom Randall, Mike Stensrud, Stan Hixon, Buddy Hardeman, Vinnie Cerrato, Tom Boskie, Luther Blue, Wayne Stanley, etc. Great memories.
I was there and do you remember when it was late and all the big red fans swarmed out of the south gate because they knew that ........BIG RED.......WAS............DEAD....................................
I had a bumper sticker on my truck that read "The big red is dead"..........Earle was simply thee greatest coach..
Rhoads Must GOOOOOOOOOoooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
For years, there was an individual who contributed to the Letters to the Editor in the DMR Big Peach sports section. His name was D.A. "Ed" Sidergib. This went on for quite awhile until someone figured out that the name was actually Big Red is Dead spelled backwards. They found out his real identity and wrote a short feature story about him.

1978 we moved to Ames and my mom got free tickets. I was 9 years old. OU beat ISU 34-6. That wishbone offense with Lott, Sims, King, & Overstreet was ridiculous. Didn't go to another game until 1980. Coincidentally it was against OU and we lost 42-7 after being tied 7-7 at the half.
1984 Kansas State. Hadn't seen a game since I had graduated 15 years earlier. Someone gave us tickets to the last game of the season. At the start of the game the announcer said it is 30 degrees with a 30 mph wind, will the real Cyclone fans stand up. We sat in the south end zone and there were about 6 fans there. The final score was 7-7 and both teams stopped punting into the wind because the ball wouldn't go anywhere. At the end of the game the announcers named the wind as the game MVP.
Mini hijack. Did anybody here actually ever get into the hottub during the game in the SEZ? Some guys I know did after hours but not during games.
My first game was probably the 1997 opener against OSU that we lost 21-14.
But my best memory was later that year when the Cyclones and Danny Mac snapped a 13 game losing streak by beating Baylor at JTS. We stormed the field, tore down the goalposts and carried them over to Lake LaVerne. The girl riding on top of the goalposts as we carried them down Lincoln Way took off her shirt, but decided at the last minute to leave her bra on.
It was a sad day when ISU installed the indestructible goalposts.
