You guys — the fans — made a huge impression on then-Toledo coach Matt Campbell when he toured the tailgate lots before and after the Rockets' 37-30 loss to ISU in October 2014. What he saw, felt and heard helped set the stage for his move to Ames. http://cyclonefanatic.com/football/...lgate-tour-and-isu-s-new-coach-matt-campbell/
On the tailgate tour that helped draw Matt Campbell to Ames

- Start date
He was touring the tailgate lots before and after the game? We don't want a coach who's not committing all his time to winning the game. Lol
I kinda wish he were older so I can picture his tailgate tour to be similar to the SNL skit where Bill Clinton (Phil Hartman) goes into a restaurant during one of his runs, and uses/eats the food to demonstrate how a pending policy works.
I miss Phil Hartman.
No idea what's going to happen, but rejuvenation through a youthful but experienced coach can't hurt at this point.

I've brought a few Texans to Cyclone games and all were amazed by the pre game tailgates and turnout; ESPECIALLY, when it hit them that the crowds were there to support a 1 to 3 win team. And in that frame of reference it is simply stunning! Go Cyclones!
Matt also mentioned watching the Spirit Walk, where the team walks through the fans from their buses to the football complex before the game:
"As I watched the team do the spirit walk coming in I was blown away; the support, the energy, the fans,†Campbell said. “Then the game started and every seat was full. The energy, the spirit, the culture that sat around this program was incredible.â€
The Spirit Walk is great as the fans, players and coaches all mingle together and escort the players to the football complex.
