The "all in" mantra?

[Istate]

I think in 2012 we should drop the Chizik "all in" battle cry and come up with one from CPR? What do you think?

 

[LZclone]

Agree!

 

[ISUAgronomist]

Seems like CPR likes it. Same with "Smoke on the Water"

We should get a big-time scoreboard.

Will it be able to sustain the winds in Ames?

I was curious about this all year, but didn't want to be the one to bring it up. Just seemed pretty funny considering how little love is lost between the fanbase and Chizik.

Was that Chizik's mantra or our AD's marketing department?

I was thinking about this earlier tonight. Was this something that he started and the players kept, but then he took it with him to Auburn?

 

[CycloneErik]

What's a Chizik?

It's new years on cyclone fanatic!!!!! But 45 min. until midnight in Iowa.

 

[Cyclonepride]

They could adopt my own personal mantra, which is mostly in.

 

[UNIGuy4Cy]

in ames for new years the scoreboard is swayying in tonights wind...fingers crossed its still there in the morning

 

[MaccloNe]

I thought Chiz's mantra was "firmly entrenched".

 

[wright4cy]

Doubt he thought of it in first place and who cares Proud to be ONe and All IN both get used alot here ..I never think of him when these are used ..If liar and cheat come up thats when he crosses my mind ,but thats just me ?

Not sure where you guys are getting this idea that "All In" came from Chizik. It wasn't part of the team environment at ISU in 2007 or 2008.

It started in 2009 when Rhoads & Co. came to Ames. It's been a central part of the football program since then, and just recently (this season) made it's way into the public eye. Auburn embraced the same saying during the 2010 season.


Kinda like how Notre Dame football is synonymous with the "Play Like a Champion Today" sign, but most don't realize that Oklahoma's football program was the first to use that phrase and put it on a board for players to hit on their way out of the locker room.

I thought rhoads' was:
"we are one"

 

[cysdude]

WAIT??!!??? Chizik All IN? That is like just wow unexplainable....WOW
