Homecoming

Coaches keep up with their alma maters Playing careers prepares staff for coaching jobs

By Jeremiah.Davis @iowastatedaily.com As Iowa State celebrates its 99th Homecoming, coaches of the ISU football team prepare their players for Texas A&M. The Aggies come to Ames at 4-2 (2-1 Big 12) and are fir-

ing on all cylinders coming off a 55-28 drubbing of Baylor. The Cyclones, however, Rhoads limp into S a t u r d a y ’s matchup on a three-game losing streak.

While the coaches attempt to get their players ready for Homecoming, a few harkened back to the days when

they were on the playing field themselves.

“Oh, that takes me back a while,” said running back coach Ken Pope, when asked about his playing days.

“I played three years [at Oklahoma] and we had a lot of success.”

Pope played at the University of Oklahoma from 1970-73, playing on the freshman team his first year, then at defensive back his final three.

Pope played on a Sugar Bowl-

winning team in 1972 and made a name for himself on the field along the way.

“I guess my biggest claim to fame would be the fact that when we played the 1972 [game] against Nebraska — as a matter of fact we played in Lincoln, [Neb.,] for the conference championship that year — that was my best game,” Pope said. “I was Chevrolet Player of the Game that game.

That was pretty unique. I had two interceptions that game —

tor Wally Burnham played at South Carolina from 1994-97 — but did get to play for his dad.

“I hated it my first couple years,” Burnham said, laughing at the question of playing for his dad. “Thought he was unfair and all this other stuff, but my last couple years I finally got to see the field, which made it a little more fun.”

Now, 14 years later, Burnham is coaching along-

Pope said the biggest thing about playing on those Sooner teams was that the players always felt like they had an opportunity to win. The Sooners won the then-Big Eight Conference title in 1972 en route to the Sugar Bowl.

Jeremiah Davis, sports editor (34-15)

Texas A&M — A&M has a prolific offense, and the Cyclones have had big-time defensive issues the last few weeks. Bad recipe.

West Virginia — Could be a long night for the Orange. If only they were in Morgantown, W. Va., and could drink beer at the game.

LSU — The Chiz doesn’t have a paid-for quarterback to help him this time.

One Tiger team runs into another Tiger buzz saw.

Michigan State — The Spartans shut down Denard Robinson, and now on to Russell Wilson.

My upset pick of the week.

Stanford — One of these picks is not like the other.

By that I mean, one of us is a homer.

Oklahoma State — Mizzou may have looked really good against Iowa State, but the Cowboys’ offense is in much better shape than the Cyclones’.

Notre Dame — This game used to be a big deal. Now it’s just one loud-mouth coach against another.

Jake Calhoun, assistant sports editor (31-18)

Texas A&M — With Texas A&M leaving for the SEC next year, this will be the last time the Aggies get to bulldoze Iowa State.

West Virginia — West Virginia’s pass offense is ranked fourth in the nation. Syracuse’s pass defense? 112th in the nation. This won’t even be close.

LSU — The Tigers are facing the Tigers. How is this not animal cruelty?

Wisconsin — Russell Wilson against the No. 2 defense in the nation? I’ll take Wilson, but this pick really makes me uneasy.

Washington — I’m picking my Huskies in an upset, but I am still upset that Jake Locker didn’t go to the Seattle Seahawks.

Oklahoma State — As if Mizzou needed any more reason to jump from mediocrity in the Big 12 to mediocrity in the SEC.

Notre Dame — The Super Bowl of private schools.

At stake? Bragging rights among the cliques of sweater vests at the yacht club.

Dan Tracy, senior sports reporter (35-14)

Texas A&M — Cyclones have never had a fourgame losing streak under Paul Rhoads. We’ll see how the team responds after dropping their fourth straight on Saturday.

West Virginia — Geno Smith has thrown for 350-plus yards four times this season. Make it five.

Mountaineers roll.

LSU — I don’t care if Auburn had 11 Cam Newtons on offense (Hint: They don’t even have one this year), LSU’s defense might be in the best in the land.

Wisconsin — This will be the closest game the Badgers have played all season, but I think RussellMania runs wild and the Badgers avenge last season’s loss.

Stanford — Don’t count out the Huskies. They have a solid running game and an emerging QB in sophomore Keith Price, but Stanford is more than just Andrew Luck too.

Oklahoma State — If Mizzou can run the ball (Okie State has the 80thranked run defense in the nation), it can hang close, but in the end the Cowboys offense is just too lethal.

Notre Dame — First night game at Notre Dame Stadium in 21 years. No Reggie Bush to push Matt Leinart across the goal line in this one. Irish win their fifth straight.

Jake Lovett, editor in chief (37-12)

Texas A&M — Texas A&M whooped Baylor. Baylor whooped Iowa State. The transitive property tells me this might get ugly.

West Virginia — “Gosh, I just love Syracuse football.” — No one.

LSU — Bet the Tigers win.

Wisconsin — I don’t hesitate with this at all.

Bucky is easily top dog in the Big Ten.

Stanford — Andrew Luck: Three years, one loss at home. He’ll be OK in this one.

Oklahoma State — The Tigers haven’t beaten Oklahoma State since 2005. Brandon Weeden was just 21. Wait, that’s not that young. He’s really old.

Notre Dame — The ’70s called. It wants its rivalry back.

Alexander Robinson, former ISU running back (Guest pick)

Iowa State — It’s Homecoming. It’s Ames.

Jack Trice Stadium.

Defense gets back on track. Running game and ball security propel Iowa State.

West Virginia — “Syra-Who?”

LSU — Home game vs. defending national champs? Death Valley will be rocking. Literally

Wisconsin — No secret what they do. Stop the run. Run the ball then let Wilson carve teams apart.

They are scary good this year.

Stanford — Washington as a program has improved over the years, but Stanford has made leaps and bounds.

Oklahoma State — Their offense is too explosive and they score too much too quickly for Mizzou.

Notre Dame — Mike Floyd is from Minnesota.

Enough said. Lol

side his dad at Iowa State. He said playing for his dad was as much about his future in coaching as it was his present as a player.

“I knew I wanted to coach — at least I thought I wanted to coach,” Burnham said. “And I thought, even if I never played a down [at South Carolina], the chance to play underneath [my dad] would be beneficial for me down the road in the coaching profession.”

Now that these former players are in the coaching world, it’s hard for them to keep up with their alma maters as much as they’d like.

But they try their best.

“Absolutely,” said coach Paul Rhoads, when asked if he keeps up with his alma mater, Missouri Western. “Every week I follow their scores and see how they’re doing. Their head coach now was a student coach when I was a freshman, so he and I are good friends. [I’m] very proud of the progress they’ve made under him.”

Rhoads, a defensive back from 1985-88, said he hasn’t been able to make a game since he left the school because he went into coaching right away.

“You know, I’d sure like to see them play,” Rhoads said. “Because of my profession, I’ve never got to see them play or even been back there for a spring or anything like that.”

Across the board, the coaches — more than anything — wish their alma maters success. They know better than anyone what went into their time as players, and still pull for their former teams.

“You still got a lot of pride,” Burnham said. “All the blood, sweat and tears you put into a program, you want to see them be successful.”

Editorial

Aggies’ move to SEC won’t shake Cyclones When everything was on the line in double overtime, ISU coach Paul Rhoads made the decision.

They were going for two.

Without revealing the outcome of the next play, most ISU fans will remember that the double-overtime game described above was a 31-30 loss to Nebraska last season in the 94th and final time the teams faced off as members of the same conference.

One week later, the Cyclones also played the Colorado Buffaloes for the final time in conference play. Remember that game?

Colorado had just fired coach Dan Hawkins the week before and Iowa State seemed poised for a big road win.

Rather than a big win, ISU fans will remember a 34-14 road loss during which starting quarterback Austen Arnaud suffered a seasonending knee injury. That loss ended a 63-game series between the two teams as members of the Big Eight and Big 12 Conferences.

As members of the Big Eight and Big 12 North division, there was something more on the line last year as both teams tried to leave their mark on the series between both teams by winning the final game.

On Saturday, Iowa State will play Texas A&M likely for the last time in conference play as the Aggies will join the Southeastern Conference on July 1, 2012.

However, with the Aggies as a member of the Big 12 South division, the two teams have only squared off in conference play eight times since the Big 12 formed in 1996.

The Aggies have dominated the matchup, winning nine of the 10 total meetings — the teams also played in 1978 and 1984 — with the only ISU victory coming in 2005 when the Cyclones knocked off A&M 42-14 in College Station,

Texas.

With not much history in the matchup, there isn’t really the same feeling around Iowa State and there shouldn’t be as the Cyclones and Aggies prepare to face off for the last time in Big 12 play.

So how will the move by Texas A&M to leave the Big 12 affect Iowa State?

The largest effect any conference switch by a Texas team involves is recruiting.

In nearly every major sport, many of the top high school athletes in the state of Texas are coveted by programs across the country. Football is no exception.

The fact that TCU will now take Texas A&M’s place next season will essentially replace A&M’s place in recruiting among Big 12 teams.

According to Rivals.com, TCU actually leapfrogged Texas A&M in recruiting last season, bringing in the nation’s No. 26 recruiting class versus A&M’s No. 27 recruiting class following an undefeated season and Rose Bowl win.

“The obvious is we’re replacing a Texas school with a Texas school and the recruiting fact that we’ll still be going to the state of Texas two times every year to play football games is important to our recruiting base,” Rhoads said on Oct. 10, the day TCU accepted

its invite to the Big 12.

How important is Texas to Iowa State’s recruiting base?

Twenty-four of the players on Iowa State’s roster hail from the Lonestar state. The number of players from Texas are second only to the number of players from Iowa (52).

Although football carries perhaps the most popularity and makes the most money of any Division I sport, it’s important to note that the Cyclones are 9-24 in volleyball, 7-10 in men’s basketball and 14-6 in women’s basketball against the Aggies.

Not a very competitive rivalry throughout the Aggies’ Big 12 tenure.

It will be a big game for Iowa State after losing three straight, but as the Aggies bid farewell to the Big 12, this game and the series between these two teams will not be as missed as others in the Big 12.

With TCU taking the Aggies place, don’t expect a monumental shift in Iowa State’s place among the Big 12 in recruiting and performance.

That has changed this year with ISU Dining’s menu changes on both the concourse level and the private suite areas.

Emma Grinde, junior in culinary science, volunteers with Lutheran Campus Ministry to serve food at home football games.

She mentioned a new menu item called a “Clone dog.”

“It’s a steamed hot dog in a bun topped with a splash of hot sauce and a heaping scoop of blue cheese coleslaw. It’s not just a hot dog, but a meal,” she said.

The hot dog is served in a paper boat with a fork to assist in eating.

Grinde said the menu item has

been increasing in popularity every game.

A side of football many students don’t get to experience is the suites.

Elise Fiscus, senior in culinary science and food science, has been a suite attendant at Jack Trice Stadium for two football seasons.

She described the new menu as having more options such as buffalo wings, vegetable platters, sandwiches and pulled pork.

“The new menu just gives more options for the guests. Before we would just serve a gameday special like frozen pizza and appetizers,” Fiscus said.

“This gives the people more choices and we still have the restaurant menu for them to order extras off of.”

Everything is prepped at KnappStorms Dining through ISU Catering and hauled to the stadium in trucks.

“It’s a great experience and I get to develop personal relationships with the people I am serving,” Fiscus said.
