Today, we discuss the college football history of the Iowa State Cyclones. This program has a history of near misses, mixed with once in a generation occurrences. Two coaches who transformed the program, one legendary coach who would go on to win National Championships away from Ames, one win in the 50th edition of the Fiesta Bowl, one of the great all-time upsets, one controversial loss, three near undefeated seasons, one record setting back, one heated in-state rivalry, one strange case of a coach, one near dynasty and of course, one Cardinal.
