I am certainly not trying to impugn McDermott's character but this is really not that big of a deal.
With the technology of the internet it is relatively easy to send out a broadcast message like this. In fact, coaches all over the country are doing this. It is not happening just at ISU.
Some of you are acting like the guy sat down and wrote 25,000 thank you cards after the Iowa game. It is likely that all he probably did was take a couple of minutes to dictate this and have his administrative assistant send it out to all students.
Again, I like it and think it's great, but it really is not that big of a deal.

I cheer for two teams, Iowa State and whoever is playing the hawkeyes.

Has any coach here at Iowa State ever done this? Not that I know of, so it is a big deal. The students and fans are getting acknowleged for something good (rather than bad). I have not been a student for over 10 years, and I think it is pretty cool. So lighten up and quit pizzen in everyones cheerios.

How about we all rip him for handing out Breakfast Sandwiches & Coffee to the students before a big Football game. Instead lets all be thankful that he is giving back to the students and fans. |

I think its great. Even if it isn't a huge effort, it doesn't matter, its still thoughtful and a nice thing to do.
