Seeking help for a new project...

• The dumpster in the iconic photo from the 2004 VIESHEA Riots was from by apartment building. I was living on Hyland and Lincoln Way. It's been torn down and replaced, but it was a giant old house chopped up into apartments. Anyway, we were watching the goings on at Welch & Lincoln Way from our front yard. Two guys walked up Lincoln Way and went over to the dumpster and started to try to light it on fire. I yelled at them to at least move it away from the building if they were going to burn it. So they pushed it out into middle of Lincoln Way, got it going and rolled it down the hill. View attachment 112560
• I knew a Missouri alum who was at the party Eustachy showed up to. For those that might not know/remember: the Register got ahold of some pictures of Eustachy at a college party after a road game at Mizzou, which ended up getting him canned. Evidently, it wasn't a big party at all. Eustachy showed up, had a beer or two, took a couple photos and took off after about 20 minutes. It was unclear why he was there, or who he came with.

I went to high school with that guy!

Our apartment building parking lot always was crazy during Veishea when the weather was good. Kegs, grilling, people 3 man slingshotting old burgers across Lincoln Way, and fornicating in the apartment building laundry room. Good times.

Sam Mack holding up the Burger King on Lincoln way with a knife in the drive thru. Early 90s I think. Orr was still the coach.

I believe the BK employee said “Hi Sam,” and Sam responded “It’s not me, it’s not me.”

I believe the BK employee said “Hi Sam,” and Sam responded “It’s not me, it’s not me.”

And later he was saying "Levin made me do it".

The legend of Dustin Hogue playing with a toothpick in his mouth can never be lost.

October 1976. Gerald Ford is running for re-election and comes to ISU to campaign. It's an outdoor event, down by Fisher/Scheman. Ford says something around "It's great to be in Ohio" instead of "Iowa." Of course it was all over the front page.

I saw a lot of crazy **** living on Hunt Street for 2 1/2 years.

Gotta have the Strange.net on there. ISU's internet is legendary and the guys that got eventually busted by the FBI for hosting that server which was the fastest file transfer experience imaginable. We would literally download the movie instead of using a DVD because it was faster than opening your drive and putting the DVD in for loading.

2011 Okie St game. I took this grainy ass photo.
OSU in control of the game, ESPN brings out the National Championship trophy (YES THE CRYSTAL FOOTBALL TROPHY), their cheerleaders and mascot gather around it.
It was a mix of taunting our fans/revving up theirs.
The mascot was holding a "Weeden 4 Heisman" sign.

Looked at my wife and said "they just ****** themselves. Karma will get them tonight."

I had no idea that happened. I was in the stadium during the game. But knowing that, makes it that much better!

Not an athletics related story, but as legend has it in my family, my dad and his roommates organized the first (allegedly) mass streak across central campus. My dad quickly volunteered to be a driver. This would have been in the early 70s, so long before cell phones. I think they somehow had it broadcast on the campus radio to get the word out.

I don't recall all the details, I'd have to ask him to retell it again. Gist of the story is that campus police got word of this and they were there at Beardshear waiting to meet the streakers. The Iowa State Daily was also there. Of course, once the two came face to face, chaos ensued. Naked people scattered. My dad's roommate at the time was leading the charge, and the next morning they woke him up by dropping a stack of ISD newspapers on him. Big picture of him butt naked right on the front page (parts blurred, of course).

After you read those Royce stories... might be some of the better $10 you ever spent.

I might have to pay that just once to get in on that sort of stuff.

Oh yeah. Completely absurd now thinking about it, isn't it? They were literally posing with the damn crystal ball with a Heisman sign.

Welp looks like Will McDonald broke the first round curse!!!!!!!!!! Add it to the list Jared!

I wonder if that ever aired during the espn broadcast?

1976. The best I State team up to that point in time.

Open campus call for a place kicker.

I kicked, and would have punted in high school, except I was the only reliable deep snapper. A solid deep snap was more important than the punt outcome.

I had an Org Chem exam at 7pm, the tryout was 6pm.

The rest of the story is much more fun!

Freshman year my buddy is in town. We were late to the KSU game at home as we are walking up to the stadium some people are handing out Apple Jacks mouse pads. They hand us the box and tell us to take them into the stadium to hand out. This would never happen today but in 1999 I am not even sure they checked student tickets. Anyway lower level is full, so we head to the upper level with a giant box of mouse pads. For whatever reason kids start grabbing them as we head up the stairs. We get to the top and the box is empty

Iowa State played well in the first half, and at each first half touchdown mouse pads rained down on the lower level and then the field. Unfortunately we ran out of mouse pads in the stands and the cyclones ran out of juice on the second half. After leading 28-7 at half they lost 35-28. ******* vampire!!!

Sitting in my Literary Study of the Bible class and nearing the end of the semester, with about 2 minutes left in class, somebody flung open the door at the back of the room, screamed, and threw a big dildo across the room. Bounced off the blackboard at the front right next to the prof. Didn't hit anybody though.

The mp3 library you could build in an afternoon was legit!

As the story goes the FBi raided their dorm room which had the server in the closet somewhere in Friley. Then they said go to jail, or work for us.

One of my all time favorite stories:

We just concluded football practice across from the stadium where the intramural fields are. The entire team is standing along University (Elwood back then) waiting for traffic to clear so we can cross the street. A guy driving by with his windows down and fist pumping out the drivers window yells "GO HAWKS"............................................ And then BAMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM, he rear ends the car in front of him stopped for the stop light.

We all laugh and Coach Mac says to all of us "Couldn't happen to a better *******"!!

This story wins. Bahahah

He was on Campus several times in late seventies, early eighties. Tended to draw considerable unfavorable audience participation.

Pretty sure he was the preacher on campus the time a gal came up popped opened a beer and offered it to him.
