Favorite Iowa State win (Ferentz era)
- Thread starter HawkNorth
- Start date
Them going full Ronnie Lott on their own punt returner should be the only choice on the list.
Ruining their “best team in school history” in JTS has to be up there.
There is no more ISU play than this...
Might wanna change your wording on this one. Clown player ran into his own guy

With Game Day there. The table was all set with all the fixins and it just got destroyed.
Textbook tackle.
I only despise the losses. They shouldn't be competetive ;-)
Definitely the 2021 game. It was in Ames. Gameday was there. ISU was ranked in the top-10 and they were favored. And the Hawks beat them relatively easily. Shattered dreams, baby.
Yeah, it has to be 2021 as we crashed their party and pissed on their big stage. It was the ultimate "put 'em in their place" game.
2019 is a close second because of the classic clone comedic ending.

My favorite of the KF era is his first over ISU in 2003, but among those on the list I'll go with 2021 because of the ISU hype going in. The 2017 game was also satisfying because it was a big comeback with some new heroes (Stanley and ISM).
1. 21’ only ranked meeting and we crushed their fans dreams in week 2 who thought they were a dark horse for the playoffs.
2. 17’ arguably most entertaining game. Last 10+ plus OT was an emotional roller coaster.
3. 03’ my first and only visit to Jack Trice. Day we restored order in the state and haven’t looked back.

The clown player should have been called for targeting.
The best part of the 2003 win was that the clowns didn’t learn from the first blocked punt so we did it again.
Hey clown fans, still wonder why you are laughed at and not taken seriously?
The first was going to be mine as well. losing 5 in a row after winning 15 straight was a bit rough.
That 02 loss still haunts my soul. I’ll never forget the joy I felt at halftime and then the complete agony I felt at the end.
On a positive note, I moved a praying mantis I found in the stadium outside to a bush, hopefully it didn’t get trampled.
Every ISU win is my favorite.
Yeah, I picked 2015 with CJ emerging as the man. Almost single handedly won that game in Lames. But upon further review it was the 2021 game that I should have picked. Moo U. with almost everyone back from their fluke covid year, all the rubes talking shit about this being their year. Aston Kutcher on Game Day picking Iowa. Then the Hawks destroying them on the field. That was fun.
He really should have been called for a personal foul for that type of hit. I'd like to see it called for hitting his teammate like that.
Unless we turn it over a bunch this year, we should beat them by 17.
Way too many losses and super close games for how unimpressive Iowa State has been these last 25 years
Yeah that one was really tough. I was at a bachelor party for an Iowa state grad with a bunch of his buddies. Talk about a swing of two halves.
2009 where we piss pounded them
It is not my favorite win, but I never get tired watching this play. It makes me laugh every time. I remember when it happened - I was convinced that Roberts had run into the guy because there was just no way ISU could have done that to themselves.
New OC. Healthy Cade and Lachey and an offensive line that dang well better look more veteran. I think we are loaded at RB and with their experience.
Sash was leading receiver I think.
We will be better, how much remains to be seen. I’ve been watching some early season highlights from last year. Cade wasn’t terribly impressive. WR is still a big question mark as is the OL.
Fingers crossed.
2006, anyone??
If we lose that game then the pollard statement of this is a cyclone state wouldnt of been so hilarious, and we wouldn't of hosted college gameday vs Ohio State

Cade was hindered by that leg. He was not right since mid-August in camp. And we saw what was behind him on the bench as to why they kept putting Cade out there at less than 100%.
2006 was a fun one. I was in law school at Michigan State and got a room full of Spartans cheering for Iowa by game's end.
Athlon Sports anonymous Big 12 coaches on Iowa State for this season:
"They didn’t show anything from the new offense in the spring, but I don’t think it’s going to be a huge departure. That’s why you make an internal promotion."
"Their issues are talent-based, not scheme, not culture. They don’t have the guys they need year in and out. Are they going to change and adapt to the transfer world? Can you still win a league like ours just relying on the recruit-and-develop system? They added a few pieces this year, so maybe they’re changing up.”
Iowa State
“This will be a really telling season for Matt Campbell. Can he rebuild that program in the portal and NIL era? A few years ago, it seemed like his name was out there for every job, and then they fell back to earth.""They didn’t show anything from the new offense in the spring, but I don’t think it’s going to be a huge departure. That’s why you make an internal promotion."

I wonder what the voting would look like if they did a similar poll over at CFfanatic for favorite Iowa win of the Campbell era? Lol
