After tomorrow, Cyclone fans will have to hit the road if they ever want to see Bret Meyer throw a touchdown pass to Todd Blythe, Bret Culbertson kick a field goal or Alvin Bowen make a tackle. Iowa State is favored to win Saturday’s matchup with Colorado by four and a half points. Sitting at a 5-5 mark, the Buffaloes are knocking on the door of a ball game. A large crowd at Jack Trice Stadium could mean the Cyclones will average 50,000 fans for the football season. There’s plenty to be played for on Saturday.
Talking with most of the seniors this week, I asked all of them what their favorite moments were at Jack Trice Stadium. Most of them varied but here are a few of mine from this senior class:
1.) Watching Iowa State upset then undefeated Iowa two years and knocking quarterback Drew Tate out of game.
2.) Seeing Cyclone fans hang from the posts after celebrating Iowa State’s 30-16 victory over Colorado two years ago. The game was delayed nearly 40 minutes while tornado funnels swirled around the stadium.
3.) Watching Iowa State fans carry off kicker Bret Culbertson after he nailed a field goal with one second remaining to beat Iowa for coach Chizik’s first victory with the Cyclones.
4.) Shawn Moorehead sacking Missouri quarterback Chase Daniel for the last play of the 2006 season and close out Dan McCarney’s coaching career at ISU.
I’ll be blogging from the press box most of the game Saturday so check back to see what’s going on.
