ISU-OSU Reactions

Watched entire regulation after halfway through the 1st on plane ride from San Diego to Denver (God bless Frontier airlines). Apologized to the girl next to me as soon as I got on the plane.
Plane lands as soon as the game goes to overtime. I'm in one of the last seats. TVs all shut off. I run off the plane in a walking cast and crutches (had ankle surgery a few weeks before), crutched/ran to the closest sports bar in Denver International Airport. Unbelievably, the TV was not on the game. As soon as they switched the channel, first snap in OT.
Some poor bastard OSU fan was sitting at the bar with his head in his hands. I gave him a hug and almost got my *** kicked after the game was over.

I went to jail
My highest high and my lowest low, a mere two hours apart.

oliceman:Did you say hi to my brother-in-law at the jail in Boone? I heard they let you guys watch OT in the booking area because of "good behavior". :wink:
Sat in about the 20th row in the student section with about 8 of my buddies. We got on tv before the game started!
I was pleased to see that we were keeping the game close in the first half. At that point just didn't want to get blown out. OSU goes up 24-7 and like others thought it was over. As we made our comeback I was just in shock the whole time. During timeouts I would just sit down and put my head in my hands in disbelief. Woody got it down to the 3 yd line and the whole student section collectively decided it was go time and everyone pushed foward 4 or 5 rows. By this time I had already lost all but one of my friends. Woody crosses the plain and completely undescribable joy. Took forever to get onto the field but eventually made it. Found a different one of my buddies in the group on the field.
Fast foward: About 3:00 AM I get back from the night's festivities and watch the 2nd half of the replay. It all kinda sinks in and I shed a couple of tears. Woke up the next morning at 9:00 to watch gameday talk about our Clones!!!

My husband and I weren't able to afford season tickets last year since he lost his job. Our friends we attended games with before had season tickets, but the wife had something scheduled for Saturday morning, and that meant a drive through the night to get back home. (we all at the time lived in Nebraska) Therefore, they gave their tickets to us. The husband purchased a hillside ticket, and the seats next to us were empty, so he joined us after the first quarter.
The tickets were in sec 4 row 19, so both OTs happened right in front of us. My gosh, that batted ball by Knott hung up in the air for eternity before Benton caught it. Woody gets the TD, the three of us hop up and down in a group hug, and we hustle ourselves onto the field to celebrate. We got split up, but eventually found each other. My husband got a hug from Darius Darks. It was spectacular.
The next morning, my husband woke up with a sore shoulder. He thought he had slept on it wrong. I just gave him a knowing look and pantomimed swinging a towel over my head.

I was in a downtime Birmingham apartment with the lights off watching intently on my computer screen. After Woody scored the winning TD, a cheer went up from all the Alabama fans in the apartment complex.
Best night of my life. Being on the field after that game was amazing! And I found myself on the football poster clear as day!
My wife and I were watching at home. Our 3rd child was born a week before, 11-11-11, my wife still wasn't feeling good after having a c-section. I about jumped thru the ceiling when Weeden was picked in OT. I jumped higher and higher with each Woody carry towards the endzone. When he scored, I was going nuts. My wife, "you better not have a heart attack, I'm in no ******* condition to give you chest compression's!" AHH, the memories from a great victory.
At home with about 5 others. Was pretty drunk and I just remember screaming at the top of my lungs, "We are going bowlin!" Screamed that for about 30 minutes straight.
I was in row 18 sitting by my folks. I was jumping up and down that whole last drive. Woody plunged in for the td I was gone. I flew down the steps. I honestly don't remember hitting the field. I Jud started hugging everyone in sight.
Every time I think of this game I get goosebumps and can't stop grinning! I LOVE PAUL RHOADS AND THOSE CYCLONES!! 52 DAYS!
Moved to Arkansas the year before. This game was the night before opening day of duck season. Had a good feeling about it an brought isu gear for all my razorback buddies. Drank so much don't really remember all the details but the night ended with on of my new friends burning my best is shirt because we couldn't stop arguing about how overrated the sec is.
I was the guy on the other side of that ladder making sure that the mob of fans didn't overrun your cousin, haha. Which means that my whole torso is on the poster, but you can't see my face, as I'm hidden behind the guy in white.
One of the greatest nights of my life.
I had season tickets, but me and my bro paid the extra $5 to sit in the student section because I had my Coe ID and my brother had a really old Grinnell College family pass ID that he used. After the first run by Woody in the 2 OT we ran towards the hillside and got on the field!! Awesome!!!
I was in a household full of Hawks. I was sitting about 6 inches from the tv and screamed when woody scored. Started to tear up and got mauled by my buddies to the floor. I drank for free that night. First night I remember when all my Hawk friends had my back for one of our games.
