    James Pollard

    Awesome article in the Iowa State Daily today about the Pollards.

    A Cyclone fight: Pollard family battles cancer - Iowa State Daily: Sports
    "We embrace that challenge and what it presents to us. I’m going to approach all 12 games this way: We’re going to win them all. If we prepare and then go out and execute, we’re going to win all 12. Now how many are we going to end up with at the end of the year? I don’t know, and you’re right, I won’t put a number on it."- Paul Rhoads on having the toughest schedule in the Big 12

    Re: James Pollard

    was looking on the daily to post this earlier today but couldnt find it. Loved what the Hoiberg boys did. Made me tear up
    Hilton Coliseum was specifically built to hold in sound with a solid concrete structure, steel doors, and a crowd that sits just a few feet from the court. With a fan base that frequently ranks among the nations largest crowds, players from opposing teams, as well as Iowa State, have said that the floor has shaken due to the loudness of the crowd

    Read it in the Daily this morning. Great read and a great story. The tribute by the Hoibergs and his other friends is unreal. Best of luck to little James.

    Hope to god he beats it. Losing a young person in your life due to cancer is heartbreaking. Burying your own child is one of the worst things a parent will go through.

    Great story about the kids in the class shaving their heads to make James more comfortable, including Hoiberg's twins. Awesome.
