Pretty sure some of the other local news or radio shows talked about the choice right after it was announced, ISU did send a press email out about it as I still have it in my inbox. You'd think Heather as an ISU fan would have known this by now too if she was paying attention. I reserve my opinion on the choice until I see how Jackie does. Picking someone with a TV background like her was probably the right choice and would be interesting to know who else they might have been considering. Just glad it wasn't someone obnoxious or annoying like Scott Siepker. Who knows, maybe she knocks it out of the park from game 1 and looks like a natural fit. The bar was set pretty low when they used to trot out Jeff Johnson to lead chants before kickoff. I like Jeff, have met him and been at alumni events he's at and he does a great job in that atmosphere but the pre-game stuff they had him do several years ago was just cringe worthy.
