Years ago I won a part of the Hilton floor that had to be replaced after the flood it’s probably 12 by 12 with the section number written on the piece and the cy logo
Your Holy Grail of Cyclone Game Memorabilia
- Thread starter HarryClone
- Start date
That still pisses me off to this day. Happened right in front of me. There is no doubt in my mind that was a touchdown
The remnants of the gigantic Pop Tart from our win 5 months ago.
I have a bunch of hok gear from a cyhawk game in Ames a couple years ago. Nothing fancy. Just the kind of stuff you would leave lying around in the locker room during the game, so nothing ‘game worn’.
While on the field after the Okie State "Woody!" victory, my son picked a pocket full of turf grass and has it in a Ziplock bag with his ticket stub. He was 9 years old at the time.
I wish I could get my old DirecTV satellite dish signed by Wayne Morgan.
Not a holy grail but was cleaning out the garage this morning and found two pieces of turf I snuck out from the 2000 Insight.com Bowl! 
I have an numbered print of a Cael Sanderson drawing of the 1987 Iowa State National Champion Wrestling team hanging in my basement.
I've got four signed Wheaties cereal box blanks with Cael Sanderson's signature. Had the privilege of getting Coach Sanderson to sign them all at a tailgate function in Mason City.
**not the actual signed article**
Also have two Cyclone Radio Broadcast full game DVDs from the Paul Rhoads era. The 2009 upset vs nebby and 2011 upset of okie state. Both are signed by Paul Rhoads and John Walters.
Sadly, lost forever in the floods of the early 90's were items from the 1976 & 1977 football teams. These included photos and autographs with Coach Earle Bruce, Dexter Green (My favorite Cyclone!), Luther Blue, Tom Randall amongst others. Also had two field passes (Dayton & Kansas) that were given to me by Mal Schmidt (ISU TE '51 and Director or the National Cyclone Club) I was also gifted some swag they had gotten for the '77 Peach Bowl. Oh, those memories are lost but never to be forgotten!

A frequent poster on CF has the tagline "Marchie caught it." I'm trying to recall who it is.
I already own ISU basketball with all of the signatures from the 2013-2014 men's team. It was strange. The line for Hoiberg was insane. The line for the team was hardly a wait. Granted this was in the summer before the season started. Niang was taking pictures with new born babies.
I have a few footballs and basketballs signed by various teams around the 2010's. I do have a Brock Purdy signed helemt. And a Seneca Wallace helmet.
I gifted it to my mother, but I found a gameday program on the interwebs from the 1948 game against Iowa Teachers that my grandfather appeared in before he left the program due to an injury.
oh he caught it, the video evidence is indisputable. the refs were paid off that day.
You are going to need a LOT of bleach just to reduce those stains, I doubt they ever disappear . . . .

For me, it's my framed photo of Flynn and I at the 2006 Spring Game.
They had an autograph session afterwards, everyone signed my two Iowa State footballs. I went down the table, getting autographs from DeAndre Jackson, Bret Meyer, Shaggy, Brent Curvey, Aaron Brant, and several others.
Flynn was second to last, and my knees literally started buckling once I got to him.
To this day, I still don't understand where my obsession with Austin Flynn came from. Maybe it was because I was a recruiting junkie in High School, and he just stood out to me. Who knows.
Regardless, despite how nervous I was, I got so excited and screamed "FLYNN!!!" like a fan girl when I got to him at the table.
I straight up told him as he was signing the two footballs "Man, I was so pissed when you got benched for Meyer!!"
"I think I'm better off a a receiver honestly".
I asked him for a picture, and he happily obliged.
My big Christmas present later that year was my father had developed the photo and framed it for me.
It's still in a box now since moving into my house last year, but I proudly hung it on my wall in my old apartment from 2012 - 2018.
I also have a framed photo of me on the field after Oklahoma State 2011, but the photo with Flynn and I is easily my most prized Cyclone possession (and the two footballs the 2006 team signed as well).
