the years were 2004 and 2005 and they were the pinnacle of iowa state's meager football existence.
the dan mccarney led cyclone_birds were leading the north division two years in a row heading into their final games. everything on the line and a win earns them a spot in the ccg.
the final game of the 2004 season they had at home.
if they can just beat a missouri team who heading into the game/final week of conference play had amassed a total of 2 wins in b12 play and the cyclone_birds go to the conference championship game. instead, they lost 17-14 OT at home against a 2-5 mu team and played in the independence bowl.
the final game of the 2005 season they had in lawrentucky.
KU. if they can find a way to win against the then 2-5 garbage KU team in lawrentucky, the cyclone_birds take the b12 north and play in the conference championship game. surely it can't happen 2 years in a row can it? LOL good grief, can't these gingers get it right? final score? a 21-24 OT loss to the hapless jayhawks and a well deserved spot in the houston bowl.
i cannot stress enough what a crap program that is coming into MHK this weekend and what a complete crap team and history they bring with them. i encourage each and every EMAW to mock /PI the living crap out of every USC-wanna be ginger you come in contact with this weekend and show no regard for their trash existence.
