I loved what Coach Rhoads told Jim Knox in the interview before the game when asked, "So both your top players, right now, out... How do you win it here in Nebraska?" Without hesitation, Rhoads responds by saying, "As a team..."

That should be the motto on the ISU football poster next year! AS A TEAM, and he was exactly right.

EDIT- Did anyone else notice that some players were yelling that exact thing during the celebration on the field? I didn't catch that the first time around!

I was at the game yesterday, and like every other Cyclone fan, was proud of our team. Then this morning I found out about the youtube post. being 50+ and technologically challenged, I felt the need to bring it to everyones attention this morning, but then discover there already has been 8 pages of replies.

But if you ever question whether Coach Rhoads was the right hire, or if you worry about Coach Rhoads leaving, you watch that 2 minute clip over and over and over again. That clip, at the point he speaks to his team, should be part of the recruit information. That man LOVES his team, and that team LOVES their coach. Something fun is starting to happen in Ames, and it is fun to be a part of it.

Coach Rhoads for my money is something else. One hell of an awesome guy. He WAS and IS the right hire for Iowa State.

How could a young high school prospect see that and not want to be a part of it?

That video was AWESOME.

Caught me off guard, I'm getting soft in my old age.

That was so freakin' awesome! Yeah, count me in with the rest that teared up. I wouldn't be the least bit surprised to see a couple more recruits commit this week.

Not too many coaches around the country are that genuine. Can you picture Urban Meyer or Nick Saban caring that much about a win?

**Clonegrad07** · 10-25-2009, 11:26 AM

Just awesome...

Nick Saban is too busy watching the "Salsa Boy" video.

I love at the very end when Tiller is just pouring his water on top of CPR's head and he is loving every second of it!!!

**JustRedman** · 10-25-2009, 12:13 PM

That was great. I'm off to go watch it again!

**bmoore46** · 10-25-2009, 12:16 PM

That was great watching coach interacting with the players. Keep it up and the recruits will follow.

My wife doesnt care about football and graduated from Iowa. She watched that video and she started crying a bit. She really liked his personality with the team.

**mj4cy** · 10-25-2009, 12:20 PM

How can you not want to go run through a wall for Rhoads after that.

**jsheajr** · 10-25-2009, 12:27 PM

Awesome! Coach Rhoads is the Big 12 Coach of the Year! Period. What he's done with this team is simply amazing. There ought to be a statue built of Chizik. If he hadn't left for Auburn, we wouldn't have ended up with this great coach and would be in the middle of another 2 win season.

Reminded me of Joe Pa - "Come to PENN STATE!" - loved it loved it loved it...

If it can be done in Manhattan or Lubbock it can be done in Ames - We're gonna win some more games, y'all!!

I've got my tickets to TAMU and can't wait to root for this team and this staff in person!

LET'S GO STATE!!!
