My old high school baseball coach used to tell us that "only losers live in the past", but what the heck...it's fun...your all-time favorite ISU victories that you have watched, regardless of whether they were sweet 16 battles, or a friday evening win over IUPUI, and regardless of era...I'll start...
Men's Basketball
1. Our Big Eight Tourney Final victory over Kansas...when Jacque Vaughn's runner came up short at the buzzer, all hell broke loose in my living room...that Kansas team was ABSOLUTELY STACKED with Jacque Vaughn, Jerred Haase, Paul Pierce, Raef Lafrenz, and Scott Pollard, and Jacy Holloway and Dedric came up huge for us.
2. The 2nd round win over Cincinnati...Cincy was a 3seed and we were a six, and they had all-american Danny Fortson and Bob Huggins on the sideline.
3. The ISU-Texas game where Fizer dunked over Mihm...It was a three way tie for first in the Big 12 between us, Texas, and Okie State going into that game...we fell behind early and stormed back...Fizer was unbelievable that game, and after we won that game I had no doubt we would win the big 12.
Football
1. The '92 19-10 win over #7 Nebraska...I remember going to that game expecting to watch Nebraska play "name that score" on us...stickin it to Trev Alberts was awesome.
2. Our 36-31 win at Kinnick where Wallace took over the 2nd half...I roadtripped to that game with a few buddies, and I remember being down 7-24 at the half, feeling sick, and absolutely dreading the three hour drive home...then Seneca took over in one of the best single game performances I've ever seen.
3. The 36-14 win over Nebraska that same season...at that time I had no idea what was going to happen the rest of the season...and we completely dominated the line of scrimmage on offense and defense over the ranked Huskers in the National Game of the Week.
I'll also throw in the women's sweet 16 win over UConn...there aren't too many people in sports I enjoy rooting against as much as Geno...and to top it off they were a #1 seed as usual. Shocking upset, and huge win for Coach Fennelly.
