UPDATED FORECAST: Coldest game in JTS history?

I was there, kind of. My dad, brother and I drove up from Ankeny at halftime. We were listening on the radio and since the game was actually close we decided to come see a possible upset.
I'm surprised you could make it from Ankeny
I wanted to go but had worked the night before. I barely made it home and decided it would be stupid to drive the country roads in white out conditions to freeze at a football game.
Challenge accepted. I think the bitterly cold temperatures are what is making me the most excited about this game. That and the thought of a Big XII win...
The Colorado game was the coldest experience of my life. It's the first time i ever was hoping Colorado would just blow us out and get it over with so we could get the heck out of there. However, i was prepared to stick it out.
Everyone has to be there until the Cy's Pet of the Week is shown. My boy Louie is going to be on the big screen
Yeah, but that's back when you could sneak a fifth or a 12 pack into the game. Nobody really cared as long as you didn't get out of hand. We would just walk in go up to the top in Section O and sit and drink. Nobody was in about 15-20 yards of us and that was on a nice day for football. So that's how far this program has come.
I was at the 91 game. My dad was an admin assistant for the band so most of my time was spent in the press box. My sister was out in the cold with her then bf from Iowa city. He was in total shock we made a game of it with Colorado who was still good back in those days. There were at least two shirtless guys in the stands that day too so it couldn't have been THAT cold. . .
Clearly the Weatherman has a sense of humor. He just predicted hell freezing over.... it must mean an ISU win.
Yeah, crazy ends of spectrum! I remember game one with press releases on how to stay hydrated and the less than subtle BO smell in the student section...tomorrow, one of my favorite sounds, muffled glove clapping!
