Not trying to argue with anyone, just stating a belief. That said I completely agree that it’s about damn time for the season to start.

The second half of the video was nice, just wish it wasn’t couched as some response to what “they” say. I think if you cut out all the stuff about what other people say, the video is only improved.

That video wasn't for you. It was for the rest of us. I imagine you would have taken the thrill out of Mel Gibson's rousing speech in the movie where he wears a kilt...

Maybe I’ve been away from ISU for too long, but that video just doesn’t do it for me.

Part of it is the voice; part of it is that I’m tired of hearing about how others think (negatively) of ISU. It’s simply not important to me. I’m tired of hearing thoughts that make ISU out as the perennial underdog or that it’s us against the world. I’m given the impression that neither our players or coaches think that way.

What we believe we are is more inspiring to me than what we believe we aren’t, especially in comparison to what some general “they” say. I am given the impression that our coaches and players believe they have been winning in the dark all offseason and it’s time for them to prove their own beliefs/work on the field under the lights. That’s what I am excited to see and it is in no way altered by what some random media personality thinks about the team.

You missed the point. The point was this is what all these fools thought of Iowa State and we proved all them ******* wrong. We are Iowa State and we are here to **** **** up. So **** you and your bull **** narrative because we don't play by your rules mother ****** you're gonna learn today *****.

Interviewed for one of the positions for working on the wind turbines in the video in Nevada, didn't get that position but the manager forwarded my Information and a recommendation for my current job with the same company.

Pollard was concerned if we used Hayes30s version then the Students would go full blown VEISHEA and form a mob, tip busses, and light opposing mascots on fire

So we got this other one instead.

The players proved them wrong last year. It's a new season and no one has proven anything yet besides Campbell staying for this year (that talk won't be going away soon anyways though).

Now, I'm excited for this year and am ready to watch some football. I get hyped by our potential and the play of our team. The team won a lot of close games last year and made quite a few mistakes (special teams, holy balls). I think we will be better this year but it's a tough conference so other opinions aren't wrong yet - we haven't even played a game.

I think you kind of missed the point. I don't think they are claiming to be perennial underdogs, although it will always be us against the world (it would be anywhere). I believe they are saying they do believe in what they have done. That they've fought from the beginning to be what they are now despite what others may say. That they've built this program up from the inside. And now the time has come to show who they are and what they can do. The time is now.

I tell you what, that video worked for me. Told my wife to pack the car, I'm ready to head to Ames.

I'm along this line. Kind of made me think of Lazard coming here and sticking it out believing he could be the start of a turn around regardless of where we were.

Made me greatful to have him so long despite on field success

Really great video. Also appears to (again) address talking heads saying he'll leave. Love it.

That was the first thing that I noticed when I watched it. You know coach approved it and that was very direct way of saying "we hear this....but that is just noise"

Also, it convinced me ISU is his shot at being a hall of fame coach and built/sustain like few (Snyder) get the chance.

Also, I just ran through my living room wall

I absolutely loved that they included some old school players that weren't even recruited by CMC. It is about the foundation that has been laid and where the future can go.
