If Montgomery ends his career the way he started it he will definitely win the Jack Trice Award. Question is will they give one out?

What a fantastic story.

Now that I have tears in my eyes, should I shut the door to my office so that nobody sees me crying.
No,leave it open. If you have an office, you may be supervising employees and it would be good for them to see that you do have a heart!:cool:

Jesus. Got a little misty eyed there towards the end.

...Also a little angry:

"Essentially, he's doing a lot with a little," said Steve Palazzo, a PFF senior analyst. "They didn't have an offensive lineman above 150th in run blocking. They're just not good in front of him."

THE. LINE. MUST. IMPROVE.

Do whatever it takes to light a fire under that unit's ass, coach.
This.

There was a great story on him working with other students on a campaign against drugs or drunk driving. I can't find it now, but I instantly fell in love with this guy's character. If he didn't gain another yard for ISU I would still be a huge fan of his.
<---Hence my pic... he replaced Hoiberg of all people as my avatar.

The offseason is one of the worst times of the year, but it is also nice because stories like this always come out and you actually get to know the players a little better!

There are guys who seem to know how to do the right thing for PR purposes. Everything I see from Montgomery seems so genuine. He is just a nice guy . . . and a beast to tackle.

The photo of him busting tackles at the goal line against Josey Jewell is what brought tears to my eyes. Blessed tears of joy.

What a story! I already love this kid and everything he stands for. Hard work, dedication, teamwork, doing the right thing at all times, community, family first, compassion, chasing your dreams. Everything. Then this article shows us so much more that we never knew about. Wow! I'm literally in tears reading about his upbringing, and all the stuff he has had to deal with. And how he continues to fight for his family, and for Cyclone Nation. Big Dave is one of my five favorite Cyclones, but after this it is going to be really hard for somebody to convince me he isn't number 1.

Thank you Big Dave for everything you do! We love watching you do, what you do! You are a true ambassador of Iowa State and Cincinnati!

Great human being.

I read recently that a lot of media do their research in the off season and are starting to look more in depth at his highlights, etc. I think if he starts the season well in terms of stats and some killer highlights, he'll get some national recognition.

I also always think there is great when the "star" of the team is also leading the charge with good deeds, work ethic, and character.....that can really help some of the younger guys that may have a chip on their shoulder realize there is more to FB, success comes to those that do it right, and nothing is given.
