Big 8 Farewell

[Harry]

"Things started to turn around for Iowa State under McCarney in the late 1990's. The Cyclones broke a 15 year losing streak to cross-state rival Iowa in 1998, and promptly began a five year winning streak against the Hawkeyes. In 2000, the Cyclones went 9-3 and beat Pitt 37-29 in the Insight Bowl to finish the season ranked #23 in the coaches poll and #25 in the AP poll. Cyclone fans flocked to Phoenix for the game, and allegedly drained the microbrewery at BankOne Ballpark, where the game was played. In 2001, the Cyclones finished 7-5, losing 14-13 to Alabama in the Independence Bowl. The finish was controversial because television replays indicated that a game-winning field goal attempt by Tony Yelk should have counted after going over the goal posts."

Leinenkugel's Ballyard Brewery. It closed in 2003 though and the price of gas to go to their micorbrewery just doesn't make sense when you have the Beer Barn available on Bonnie Brae.
