Some things you youngsters will never get!

I remember when throwing it on 2nd down from the .5 yard line with the Super Bowl on the line and one of the best short yardage backs in the league in your backfield would get your butt FIRED!

haha, right, that had to be the worst attempt at fooling a defense and the one of the most stupid play calls of all times.

The seahawks tried to get cute, maybe they didnt want to give Lynch bargaining power in the off season.

Whatever I guess Greg Davis does not make the dumbest play calls.
 
I remember when Iowa had three different radio broadcasts. Zable, Mitchell, and Brooks all on the air at the same time.

I remember when Kinnick had the grass in the corners of the stadium

I remember when Kinnick had turf, then went to grass before going back to turf.

I remember Marv Cook winning a game against Ohio State prior to instant replay when he may have been down at the 1.

I remember when FG kickers were able to use tees and when the goal posts were the same size as high school.

I remember Hawkeye Gold pop.
 
I remember the sound my Mongoose made with a wooden laundry clip and playing card.


I remember when Super Bowl commercials were watchable and funny.

That was only in Iowa girls basketball. And they couldn't cross the half-court line. They played with six players per team - three always on offense and three always on defense. Of course, Kansas played with five players but only one player per team could cross the half-court line; the other two were permanently on offense or defense. The rest of the country played as they do now.

I believe Oklahoma also played six on six and was maybe the last holdout before Iowa to convert.

Actually, Oklahoma also played 6 on 6 girls basketball. They actually played it more recently than Iowa.

Alas, after decades of resistance, six-on-six basketball disappeared from Iowa high schools in 1993 in Iowa and from Oklahoma in 1995. The end in Iowa came after lawsuits were filed, complaining that the rules put girls at a disadvantage in gaining scholarships to play conventional five-on-five basketball in college, Jensen and others said.

Sorry, I posted before I read your post. I also didn't have my facts straight as I was going from memory.

Yeah, it was a great game. The all-time name for Iowa Girls' Basketball is the gal from Moravia (not Machine Gun Molly Bolin!) who led them to the '72 tournament. Hope I don't get banned for typing her name: Fonda Dix. (That really was her name, you can look it up here.)

This can not be real... wtf were her parents thinking.
 
I remember when my old man drive into the driveway, it was my job to jump outa the car and open the garage door.

Also, I was the designated channel changer on the TV

And the drunk trumpet player on that corner grass!

And yep, watching it now, Cook's TD may well have been overturned. But since Bo Pelini was one of those being dragged into the endzone, I will never admit it outside of Hawkeye "ears".

Those FG 'tees" were cool. They had a sort of "grip tape" on them, just little blocks with that stuff on top. When we would kick "sandlot", we would use those anchors from the game "Jokari". It had the small hole to hold the weight, but also perfectly "cupped" a football.

I don't like either team but I especially don't like the Seattle coach after he fled USC because of illegal recruiting charges that crept up. What an idiot to pass the ball. They hadn't stopped their big running back all night and they had a time out to burn if he didn't make it. Worst call in Super Bowl history....... And I enjoyed every minute of it. I can't stand that pompis a$$ from USC.
 
I don't remember much....but I do remember they had cops in Kinnick that didn't like Iowa flags waved in the stands....I remember bota bags, and for some reason shoes, being tossed about to "see" what others were drinking....I remember saving bottles of champaign in the student section, for the touchdowns scored in the 2nd half....I do remember trumpet guy blowing the high note and tumbling down the grass knothole hill.

I remember keg(s) being smuggled past 2 star Star Stan (in a wheelchair), and then once drained, taking a collection for the deposit so we could "body pass" it to the top of Kinnick, following up behind some freshman coed. I remember kegs aplenty in the "grass lot" beforehand too....and the Magic Bus....in fact that is where a lot of memory lapses start!

I remember bball being loud and intimidating, but my view was always behind a big pillar, but we were playing for the dance....

...most importantly, I remember OUR kicker making a last second fg for IOWA to remain #1 IN THE COUNTRY!!!!....(will we even ever sniff the likes of the top ranking again?)

I beg to differ on you actually REMEMBERING that kick! :)

And just to clarify, since that season--and 13 of those were Hayden's--we have NEVER been ranked number 1, except in a Sport magazine preseason poll or the 2009 computers that, most likely, had poorly functioning malware/spyware detection.
 
Fawcett and the Partridge family.. Wasn't Susan Dey the oldest girl in the Partridge Family?

I remember me and my best friend driving to a bar, getting dunk, relieving ourselves in the parking lot of some church, afterward, and having some cop stop us and tell us to go home directly.
 
I remember when, after the 6th defensive foul in the NBA, a shooter got 3 free throws to make 2. If he made the first 2, he didn't get a third, but if he missed either of the first 2, he got a third.





*Above facts were from memory. Please correct if I have something wrong. Too lazy to Google tonight.

Technically speaking, Shirley Jones was the oldest "girl" And she was hotter than Susan Dey. Probably still is.
