Our two sons became Eagle Scouts. I know how much effort an early teen needs to put in to achieve such an accomplishment.

For an very young man to do that in an urban setting,....so much harder.

It is why HC MC can continue to make ISU a special place for very special human beings. Keep finding those young guys and ISU can continue to be a contender.
I don't recall where I saw a particular David Montgomery video, years ago.
His background was rough. Very rough.
His brother is imprisoned. I forget the crime, but it was a significant crime.
At the time, David had "shut out" his bro/no communication (don't know if this situation has changed).
Aside, as stated, David went on to become an Eagle Scout.
I highly doubt, "this was considered cool, in his neck of the hood," rather the POLAR opposite.
If I recall right, via a Cyclone twitter video, David's weekend nights, were spent in the weightroom.

Ps. I don't think David needed a diploma, but David being David, got it.

The story was when David was a freshman he would spend nights on the weekends in Bergstrom. Started getting more and more guys to join him until eventually there were tons of guys doing it.

He is the greatest culture guy of the MC era.

Worst case scenario, for me.
Lions vs Niners, NFC Champioship.
David vs Brock. F-ing OUCH, redefined.
Think I'd have to root for the Eagle Scout, born n bred in the ghetto.

What a time to be a Cyclone fan, in terms of "next level."
Luvin every CONFUSED-PRO minute of it!
As well...who can root against the Houston Cyclones?

I was just at the Scouting National Annual Meeting in Orlando this past week and David was there. He’s the new brand ambassador for Scouting America. He gave a great speech.
As a surprise, they brought in his scoutmaster and another leader mentioned in the talk up on stage at the end. Great moment.

Kills me every time Niang and Hali play against each other. Them and Monte were all great Cyclones so easy to root for.

Someone is cutting onions
Nah, "someone," is connecting with a ghetto-born n bred lifestyle/upbringing, that the vast majority of Iowan's will never begin to comprehend, you included.
99.9% of Cyclonefanatics (thinking 94.5% white), can't REMOTELY begin to relate to David's childhood+++
