Re: Picture of ISU billboard in Tampa area
The catch phrase is "Pinellas Roots". Pinellas is the county Clearwater is in, which is where Chizik is from. Also, Largo, FL, a subdivision in the Tampa Bay area is in Pinellas Co., which is where Lenoard Johnson is from.
So, the "Pinellas Roots" has a double meaning, roots as in a foundation of coaches and athletes are from Pinellas county and roots as in cheering for Iowa State.

Re: Picture of ISU billboard in Tampa area
Wonder how much a billboard like that cost and if we at Cyclonefanatic could pool enough money together to put a similar billboard up in Texas!

Thats awesome! Thanks for posting the pic
Re: Picture of ISU billboard in Tampa area
Gotta admit I love it. But also have to say it's one of the wierder things I've ever seen.
I mean, you don't often see FSU or Miami billboards around here.
I knew Jamie had ambition, but wow! :notworthy:
Re: Picture of ISU billboard in Tampa area
I love it, but if I were some random Floridian that knew nothing of Chizik or Iowa State I'd be like WTF...

I think this has more to do with Pete & Shorty's and Hooters than it does with JP, however, I'm sure JP had at least some small hand in it...:biggrin:

Pro'ly. But at the very least - approval/licensing would go through the AD.

Hopefully it's inquiry and praise and not disgust and "Who the hell do they think they are advertising in our state..."
Re: Picture of ISU billboard in Tampa area
That is bizzare and if I was from the area (having never heard of Iowa State) I'd be like WTF? too... but I'd have heard of Iowa State.
Kudos to all those involved in getting that up there... sweet exposure

Yeah, I bet he didn't think too long and hard about approval...
Re: Picture of ISU billboard in Tampa area
I think it looks great! A big "Thank You!" to Ed Droste for doing it. Thanks for the picture, too. Mrs. yCy
