He's a great leader for Iowa State, he has tons of passion. But I easily see why rival institutions dislike him.
A lot of Hawk fans think he did that billboard to **** them off. He did it for the Cyclone fans in the Cedar Rapids area. He unveiled his plans and displayed a scaled version of it at the annual banquet in Cedar Rapids. I honestly don't think he anticipated the magnitude of reaction it got. How could he have? It's been two years ago and people are still talking about it.
