A Message from the ISU "Flag Runner"

I love that guy. That's the 1 thing us up on the balcony can count on is him running the ring around Hilton in the second half. Hell they even have a clip of it on the video board before the game!

Section 226 is gonna miss you man!

That's the SUPERFAN... who started this thread! And the sidekick you're thinking of is the FLAG RUNNER!

That's awesome... you need to get a picture of it and post it. And SUPERFAN needs to collect some royalties!

I second the streaking idea, what have you got to lose??

Hey, bodysuit man!

I believe the flag runner is Chris Hess, I think he went to the same high school as me, he has always been a crazy superfan guy for his school, he always had his hair died green at Kennedy

Has Superfan been at games lately???? How have I missed him???? PS2 pic about floored me!

Lol- "WWE dude". That superfan is "superfan" right here on CF. The "little sidekick" is perhaps better known as our Hilton flag runner. Superfan is currently in Houston on an internship and will be back in the fall. Flag runner will also be back in the fall, but is graduating in December and will likely be moving to one of the coasts or down to Texas for his job after graduation, and won't be able to attend conference basketball games.

Both of these guys are really good friends of mine, and I don't know *anybody* who are bigger Cyclone fans than they are. They're the ones who got me going! Superfan, games aren't quite the same without you screaming yourself silly. Can't wait to see you in the fall. Flag runner, it's been an honor to be your cameraman this year. I hope I get to do it one last time this Saturday!

You know, if you really wanted, you could do the flag run around Jack Trice during the games in the fall, lol. Or hey! You could even do it this spring with the track and field team! You'd be like a cardinal and gold pace runner...

I knew the flag runner would eventually graduate, but I had hoped that it would become a longtime tradition, with someone else picking up the torch when the previous runner moved on.

SlyCy · 03-02-2007, 12:45 PM

Don't let it end, what a great tradition!

Keep doing some variation. Maybe each section passes it on the next, or something. Walk around if you have to. Don't let it end!

So what about the drill team? Some of those girls make it unsafe walking down those steep sets of stairs? There are safety issues with everything...

clonez · 03-02-2007, 12:52 PM

thats lame, i love watching him run around the balcony, i just wish they could have got a post light on him or something so more people would notice.

cycloneworld · 03-02-2007, 12:52 PM

What about the band during football games...moving in the upper deck aisles with those instruments has to be dangerous as well.

Who is the one that said flagrunner can't run anymore?

Hasbeen · 03-02-2007, 12:59 PM

Superfan.....since I have finally unmasked you as being the "WWE guy", how do you plan to recapture that beautiful State Title Belt that you so proudly displayed last year....are foreign objects involved???? I hope so, good luck! Loved the PS2 pic on NCAA Football 2007.

A-town Cy · 03-02-2007, 02:04 PM

This is bull, I say you do it again next year, and see what they do. And if they kick you out, or arrest you. We hold a walk-out! and then we riot! we're pretty good at riots. And if they arrest you, we'll come bail you out too.

I could see it on the news now..."Riot breaks out at Iowa State after flag runner ejected"
