ISU sucks. Check out this fun post from the cyclone at gopowerclone.com site over at rivals
This is what I vision that is going to happen to Iowa St football...
The fact that the AD of the school has pooled in a HUGE amount of money for Chizik and his seconday coaches had allowed a top tier defensive coach to become the head coach, and top tier secondary coaches to come to Iowa ST... Right now, the coaches at Iowa St are first tier coaches comparable to Oklahoma and Nebraska... Texas, in my opionion is a step below these three schools in coaching.. they just have alot of talent...
With these coaches in place and the knowledge the bring to the Iowa St game, you will no longer have the issues the sensational McCarney staff had of getting over the hump to at least a tier 2 school like a Texas Tech or A&M has been recently..(McCarney to me is better than Mack Brown, he can call a game and in the right school and staff win a NC)
WHEN they reach the tier two status (the hump finally passed), the scary part for the rest of the Big 12 and the university of Big 11 at Iowa... The lock-down of local top-talent recruiting that will happen in the area, Nebraska will rarely go further east than atlantic for recruits at this point and Iowa St will tap much more into Missouri, Illinois and Minnesota than ever which will give these top tier coaches, gulp... TALENT
Next is the cinderella, breakout year like Kansas St in the 90's or the Wake Forest of last year, and then comes the next step, one that the old Kansas St nor Wake Forest could not do, nor will ever due to limitations that Iowa St no longer faces...
Here and there, Iowa St will lose coaches, however money no longer will be a reason why, and this will allow something that this school has never been given a priveledge of, this is called..... CONSISTENCY
The reason why Consistency is so vastly important is to avoid years like the University of big 10 at Iowa and schools like Purdue, much less chance of a roller coaster program... which will bring the program to a state you all have been dreaming about...
Facilities... how important is facilities?? Very important if you have down years and are trying to pull in talent... See Nebraska last 5 years, Oklahoma in the 90's, Notre Dame...well...seems like almost every year now.. you will be making more money as let's face it, bandwagon fans ARE very a very integral part of building a tradition, they bring in money.. they are the Iowa, missouri, minnesota, illinois fans, they are the Nebraska fan haters (god there is alot!!) they will watch the games they will bring in money and in a few years they will sell out and some become lifelong fans, the school can expand the stadium, weight room, seating and raise ticket prices which in turn impresses the recruits even more and the rest is history....
I have had months to think about this.. your AD has Vision!! And I do not care what other fan's think, even though Chizik had tons of talent to work with... everywhere he went the defense just SUDDENLY became amazing... I hope your AD stays and never loses this vision, and I hope you don't quit dreaming....
because it is coming... too many variables have been changed there in the last six months, like a powerful cold front that is just starting to tap into a gulf stream, the storm is about to brew... give him time, and congrats on your future Iowa St.. you've been through ALOT, your turn IS coming..
