Many football fanatics across the country will be tuning in to watch Super Bowl XLVII on Sunday, but one ISU student will have the privilege of traveling to New Orleans himself to experience an internship for turf management.

Kevin Hansen, senior in horticulture, was selected for Toro’s Super Bowl Sports Turf Training Program. Hansen will be working with some of the most experienced men and women in turf management.

“To be honest, I don’t really care if they make me do the worst job there; I am just honored to be there,” Hansen said.

“The amount of man power it will take to set up something like the Super Bowl has to be astronomical, and I’m very excited to see what it entails.”

George Toma, who has assisted in the preparation of

every Super Bowl field in history, will be among the staff.

Hansen, a Boone native, was selected out of 18 applicants nationwide and will be assisting the turf management crew in caring for the main field, as well as each team’s practice fields.

In addition to his strong 500word essay for the application, Hansen was also a top candidate due to his lengthy work experience in the area of turf management.

Hansen has worked on parks and sports facilities in Coralville, Iowa, as well as professional sports fa-

Experience

Interns share Disney memories ISU students offered chance to live dreams

By Jared.Raney @iowastatedaily.com Each year around ten ISU students are chosen to participate in an opportunity that is not only considered one of the best resume builders in the country, but also the dream job of every ten-year old.

Martese Hoffman, senior in mechanical engineering, and Kelsey Duff, junior in

marketing, are two ISU students who have received internships at Disney.

These internships, which are through the Disney College Program, place the students in a low-level position related to their area of interest at one of the Disney parks.

Duff, who has been in the program for three weeks, said the experience has already changed her.

“It’s changed me a lot. It just broadens your view of other cultures,” Duff said.

“I’ve just seen how happy you can be working in the real world.”

Student health center offers more than basic care

By Juliann.Finn @iowastatedaily.com To the doctor’s office for a physical, to the pharmacy to pick up a prescription and to a physical therapy clinic to treat an old injury. By the time students are done running around town, the day is almost over.

The majority of ISU students are not aware of the full spectrum of services available at Thielen Student Health Center, located on campus.

With both reactive and preventative care, the student-oriented service at Thielen helps young adults learn the ins and outs of taking care of their body.

File photo: Kelsey Kremer /Iowa State Daily President Leath’s dogs Quill and Dixie are often seen playing fetch with ISU students. Quill, the younger of the two dogs, is an award-winning duck and pheasant hunter. Five-year-old Dixie is described by Leath as a ‘funny dog with a lot of personality.’

Presidential dogs win awards, gain fame among ISU students

By Jessi.Wilson @iowastatedaily.com Quill and Dixie can be seen chasing each other or begging people to throw sticks for them through the fence surrounding the Knoll.

The two dogs belonging to President Steven Leath and his wife Janet Leath are important members of their household.

“They’re a huge part of our lives,” Janet said. “They’re not just dogs; they’re part of the family.”

Their yellow Labrador, Quill, the younger of the two, is an award-winning duck and pheasant hunting dog.

“Quill is just the sweetest dog. He’s so much fun to be around,” Janet said.

Dixie, a five-year old Golden Retriever and yellow Labrador mix, is what Janet describes as a “funny dog with a lot of personality.”

“Dixie and I are very close. She’s one of those rare dogs that is very tuned into people,” Janet said. “She’ll look at me to see how I’m reacting to something to see how she should react to it.”

Dixie and Quill are loved by many students throughout campus. Janet explained that it’s not uncommon for students to stop by the Knoll to play fetch with or pet the dogs.

students, we can schedule times to take the dogs for walks or simply go play with them,” said Sarah Olson, a member of the President’s leadership class and sophomore in pre-business.

Quill was recently featured in a breast cancer awareness campaign for a photo of him retrieving a Mallard Duck.

“The Pink Whistle Society was created in 2009 by the Hunting Retriever Club’s foundation,” Janet explained.

The society was created to help raise awareness and raise money for the Susan G. Komen cancer research fund after a member of the Hunting Retriever Club died from breast cancer.

Several companies use the Pink Whistle Society logo in their ads to help spread breast cancer awareness.

Marsh Mutt, the company that used Quill’s image in their ads, selects a featured dog of the month from photos submitted on their Facebook page.

“I thought it was a good cause, and I

was very pleased that our dog was a part of that,” Janet said.

Quill and Dixie are currently both dealing with health issues.

Dixie has a benign tumor in her left leg that affects blood vessels.

“Right now, she’s on a type of a chemo drug that should help to keep the tumor from growing,” Janet said.

Quill became ill unexpectedly earlier this week. Janet explained that Quill was ill Tuesday night, but the Leaths didn’t realize it until morning.

“We got him to the vet [Wednesday] morning, and they did x-rays to rule out a serious illness,” Janet said. “They think there is an obstruction; we’re probably looking at surgery today.”

The cause of Quill’s illness is still unknown, but it is likely that the obstruction was caused by a small stick or some other indigestible object that he may have swallowed.

Although the Leaths are experiencing a difficult time with their dogs, Janet has no problem recalling happy memories of Quill and Dixie.

“They love each other,” Janet said. “If they’re in the mood to play, they will run as fast as they can across the yard, jump up into the air and wrestle with each other; it’s really funny to watch. They’re interesting dogs.”

Achievement

ISU alumnus wins professional award Guardia recognized for outstanding work

By Lissandra.Villa @iowastatedaily.com It’s not uncommon for ISU alumni to go far in their respective fields when they graduate, but some cases stand out more than others.

Juan Guardia, assistant vice president for Student Affairs at Northeastern Illinois University in Chicago and ISU alumnus, will receive the National Mid-level Student Affairs Professional Award in March.

Guardia found out about the honor in late December, but it was not made public until January. The award is given out by the National Association of Student Personnel Administrators.

“It’s a very well-recognized, nationally-known professional organization in student affairs,” said Nancy Evans, ISU professor and Guardia’s former adviser.

The award will be given to Guardia at the 2013 National Association of Student Personnel Administrators Annual Conference Guardia Awards ceremony in Orlando.

After he earned his doctorate at Iowa State in 2006, Guardia moved to Florida, where he was the director of the Office of Multicultural Affairs at Florida State University for six years.

In August he took a new position back in the Midwest as Northeastern Illinois University’s assistant vice president for Student Affairs.

This is the second National Association of Student Personnel Administrators award that Guardia will have won. In 2012, he was awarded the Region III James E. Scott Outstanding Mid-Level Student Affairs Professional Award, but that is not the extent of his history with National Association of Student

The rent cost is taken directly out of their paycheck but coupled with a zero-tuition semester. Hoffman said she didn’t miss the money.

The apartment complex is right next to the park. For Duff in Florida, she is one hour away from the beach and three hours away from Miami.

“This is so much fun. I feel like I’m constantly on vacation down here,” Duff said.

Working for Disney comes with several perks, not the least of which is free,

Personnel Administrators.

“I’ve been involved with [National Association of Student Personnel Administrators] for over 10 years,” Guardia said. His involvement, which he said provides him with an opportunity to give back to those in his field, includes being a previous co-chairperson of National Association of Student Personnel Administrators Latino/ Latina Knowledge community.

“It’s been a really great profes-

sional opportunity for me and I’m very thankful for that,” Guardia said.

His commitment to his work has not gone unnoticed by others over the years. “He didn’t ever cut any corners,” Evans said.

She went on to add that he completed his doctorate in three years.

“He would do 20 things at once and get them all done well,” Evans said.

Evans wrote a letter of support after Guardia received his nomination.

“I know that he was very humbled to receive [that award],” Evans stated.

“I’m so proud of him. … I certainly think he’s worthy of the award.”

unlimited access to the park. Not only do the students get in the door for free, they also have the opportunity to go to special events such as the opening of a new ride.

“I actually got to go to the cast preview of the reopening for the Star Wars ride,” Hoffman said. “There was a big blowout party and everything was Star Wars themed. Mark Hamill and George Lucas came up and were ordering hamburgers from where I work.”

Two years after her internship at Disney, Hoffman still acts as a representative for the program at Iowa State.

She enjoys the benefits of life as a Disney employee.

If surgery is not needed, the physical therapy center can provide a variety of treatments to begin the healing process.

“ISU physical therapy and sports medicine sees a wide variety of injuries from sportsrelated knee and shoulder injuries to more chronic conditions, including neck and back pain,” Larson-Hargrafen said.

Doctors at Thielen Student Health Center can also prescribe medication to help with pain.

“We understand that most students are trying to be financially independent, so we try to make them pay no more than they have to,” Yeakel said.

With instant claim online, the pharmacists are able to

Hoffman said she still gets discounts on all kinds of things, from Apple products to her wedding dress, all because of her time at Disney.

“It’s a big shock, being from Iowa and coming here [in Florida]; there are a lot more languages here,” Duff said. “There’s a culture shock ... but it’s amazing getting to see all that.”

Around 22,000 students apply annually, out of which 8,000 are selected to participate in one of two sessions — spring or fall.

“I definitely recommend it,” Duff said.

“You don’t know what it’s going to be like until you do it ... It’s totally worth it.”

double-check your insurance to make sure the medication is covered. They provide overthe-counter medicine to treat all types of symptoms at low costs.

Not only does the pharmacy distribute medication prescribed from one of the seven physicians at the student health center, they also operate similarly to a retail pharmacy.

“If you have a prescription from your hometown physician, we honor it,” Yeakel said.

The health center’s allergy clinic provides treatments for those with serious allergies who need weekly or monthly treatments. Currently, they treat 95 students on a regular basis.

Thielen Student Health Center handles pregnancy, as well as STD testing with confidentiality.

“We can test for any sexually transmitted infection that a student feels he or she may have been exposed to,” said Dr. Scott Meyer. “All test re-

For preventative care, the student health center provides many vaccines, including the seasonal flu vaccine, measles, mumps, rubella, tetanus and

Gardasil.

The student health center can provide birth control for women, as well as emergency contraception.

“We want students to feel at ease asking about anything,” Yeakel said. “We are here exclusively for the students.”

File photo: Kelsey Kremer/Iowa State Daily After Sen. Tom Harkin’s announcement that he will not be running for re-election, people have begun speculating as to who will take his seat in the Senate following the 2014 elections. Discussion is already starting about whether Republicans have a chance at the seat.

Who will fill Harkin’s shoes?

Senator of 40 years difficult to replace

I

owa Sen. Tom Harkin announced that he will not seek re-election in 2014 after serving in Congress for 40 years.

He told the Des Moines Register that “it’s somebody else’s turn.” He went on to say it was not an easy decision to make, but he and his wife want to have a different type of lifestyle that allows them to take dance lessons and spend more time with their family.

He said his Senate duties are “very consuming.” His health is not an issue.

Sen. John Kerry was appointed as the new Secretary of State, so Harkin will have the seventhhighest seniority in the Senate.

Also, Harkin, together with Iowa’s Republican Sen. Chuck Grassley, make up the pair of longest-serving current senators. This means Iowa holds some powerful positions in the Senate, and Harkin’s retirement would throw off this power grip.

Iowa has been very lucky to have two powerful senators representing us, but according to Harkin it is time to give somebody else that opportunity.

Harkin is the chairman on the U.S. Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor and Pensions,

By Hannah.Dankbar @iowastatedaily.com which is the second-largest appropriations committee.

Senators who serve on the larger committees do not normally serve on any other committees, but Harkin is also serving on the U.S. Senate Committees on Agriculture, Nutrition, and Forestry; Appropriations; and Small Business and Entrepreneurship. He has done all of this while maintaining about a 60 percent approval rating from Iowans.

Iowa Democrats had strong emotions in reaction to Harkin’s announcement. Harkin has been a Democrat and has virtually been guaranteed re-election for a long time. Now his seat is open for anybody to grab.

Harkin is not making any predictions on who will take his seat, but one thing we can be certain of is that the 2014 Senate race in Iowa will be fierce.

Get ready for a ridiculous amount of political ads as outside interest groups will be dumping money into this race.

There is already talk of possible candidates and Republicans feel confident in their chances of being able to take the seat. Republican State Chairman A.J. Spiker said, “Iowa is so purple. It’s just a really purple state. Our nominee will be well-positioned.”

Democrats will also be looking for somebody who can measure up to Harkin to take his position.

With that being said, don’t think you will get to wait until 2014 to find out who will run.

There are several people to watch.

Who to keep an eye on: Three of Iowa’s four representatives in the House are potential candidates. Steve King (R-2nd), Tom Latham (R-3rd) and Bruce Braley (D-1st) are all being talked about right now.

All of this is very early, so we won’t know who will try to take the seat for some time. This could mean some major reshuffling could be going on at the state and local level come election season if any — or all — of these representatives choose to give up their current positions.

Politicians typically serve in the House of Representatives before moving up to the Senate, making these three very strong possibilities.

There is a long list of potential GOP candidates, but so far there are no commitments. The list

includes GOP Chairman Matt Strawn, Iowa Sen. Brad Zaun, Secretary of State Matt Schultz, conservative social activist Bob Vander Plaats and potentially even Representative Pat Grassley (grandson of Iowa Senator Chuck Grassley).

There has not been as much talk about potential Democratic candidates; all fingers are pointing to Braley as the guy to beat, as of now.

There is still plenty of time for many other candidates to emerge.

This is the list that was created within days of Harkin’s announcement, which came as a shock to some. This race has not even begun yet, so prepare yourselves, things are going to get messy.

Harkin has been Iowa’s leading Democrat on Capitol Hill for the past four decades. He has proven to be a great leader, and we should be thankful for him dedicating his career to serving Iowans.

Once election season rolls around again (it’s coming sooner than you think), we will be frustrated as outside interests groups pump money into a ridiculous amount of advertisements, but for now we can just relax and thank Harkin for all of his hard work.

Fashion

Leggings don’t need to expose L

eggings: stylish alternative to sweatpants or fashion faux pas? Who would have thought a simple article of clothing could spark such heated debate?

I must admit I have fully embraced the idea of wearing leggings as pants. For me, they are the perfect excuse to wear a comfortable pair of pants and get out of jeans or tights once in awhile. However, I am well aware of the fact that many people disagree with this fashion trend.

However, it wasn’t the eye-rolling of girls who despise leggings or the concerns of older generations that have prompted me to write this article. Instead, it was a fellow classmate here at Iowa State who so kindly pointed out that “ass season” is upon us.

What is “ass season,” you may ask?

According to the guy that happily informed me of the dawn of this season, it’s time for the mystery to be unveiled and the imaginations of men to be put to rest. Rather simply, leggings provide the perfect picture, without anything being left up to the imagination.

Naturally, I was fairly shocked and outraged at the bluntness of this statement, particularly because I happened to be wearing leggings when he informed me of this.

I am happy to say that I think this idea of “ass season” can be changed for the better.

By Kristen.Daily @iowastatedaily.com lines show because leggings are see-through or that girls are exposing too much thigh and butt. I can’t argue with this. I’ve definitely seen it. But leggings are not the problem here (with the exception of the quality of legging), it’s how girls are wearing them.

To help give you some ideas of how leggings should be worn, I’ve found some rules for wearing leggings from the blog “Cubicle 57,” written

by Beckie. To see more of her writing and more details on the following guidelines for wearing leggings, you can check out her blog “In Defense of Leggings as Pants: 5 Rules.” The rules are simple.

One: Buy quality leggings. Higher quality leggings will be thicker (less see-through) and last longer — they are worth the money!

Two: Wear something tunic-length — anything dress-length or longer looks frumpy with leggings and anything shorter (hip-length) shows too much.

Three: Choose the right shoes. Boots are perfect for pairing with leggings, and in warm weather Toms are also a good option. Don’t wear sneakers; they’ll end up looking bulky and awkward.

Four: Stick to grays and blacks when it comes to choosing a color of leggings. Solid, dark colors will help you achieve that slim, sleek look.

Five: Because you’ve chosen to wear a nice solid, dark pair of leggings, you can be risky and have fun choosing your top.

Good fashion choices can make leggings appropriate

Co urt esy

With the beginning of the State of Iowa’s legislative assembly over the past few weeks, a number of bills have been introduced and even more ideas have been floated. One of the more eyecatching ideas has been the introduction of a bill by Republican State Sen. Kent Sorenson to reintroduce capital punishment for some crimes.

As with most legislation, there is an important backstory with this proposal. In July, two Iowa girls, aged 8 and 10 years old, went missing. Months passed, and they were found dead in December. Additionally, there are other haunting cases of missing and murdered children whose parents support Sorenson’s proposal.

The death penalty is always a serious issue. It always garners extensive public debate that is contributed to by everyone from governors, representatives and senators to families at their dinner tables and preachers behind their pulpits.

In 1965, the State of Iowa repealed laws prescribing the death penalty.

Thirty years later, the Iowa Senate rejected a measure to reintroduce it by a 39-11 vote.

The year 2013 is different from 1965, and almost just as different from 1995. Different times require different laws and, with the passage of time and development of technologies that make it more certain than ever whether a person did or did not commit a crime, the issues that govern the debate on this bill and issue should not be those that governed our conduct in years past. Every generation must make its own laws, and every generation must have its own debate on them. To refuse to have the debate at all would be to stifle the political process.

One of the most morbid announcements of Sorenson’s proposal was a post on TheBeanWalker.com, Iowa’s equivalent of the Drudge Report, which is a news aggregate with a more or less conservative slant. There, with a link to a news story about Sorenson’s proposal, was a photo of him sitting, glaring into the camera, with the words, “Give me death.”

That pronouncement is an oversimplification of the issue.

A policy as life-changing as the death penalty, which might provide closure for the anguished family of a victim and which certainly extinguishes the life of the criminal, must be debated honestly and fully.

Iowa’s representatives and senators must concentrate their attention, mental faculties, and cooperation skills on a whole host of issues related to capital punishment that might appear at first glance as tangential but actually relate to it in a very real way.

The issue is not just whether certain crimes deserve capital punishment. We have to consider what method of execution to mandate. We have to consider how long we allow the appeals process to drag on. We have to consider the qualifications — competence and ethics alike — of the prosecuting attorneys directing the case.

And perhaps most importantly, we have to consider the rules and standards of evidence used in trials where capital punishment is a possibility. A jury’s certainty should be as final as the sentence the judge is allowed to assign.

Iowans will lose nothing by having a debate that resolves all these issues before a law goes into effect. Haste makes waste — in this case, a waste of lives.

So, to save yourself the awkward attention and blatant outlining of your curves, dress wisely with your leggings and don’t expose yourself.

After traveling to a large number of meets on the road, the Cyclones will come home for a dual meet against Arizona State on Friday and Saturday.

By Jake.Calhoun @iowastatedaily.com After a two-day tournament and five duals on the road, the ISU wrestling team is finally coming home.

The Cyclones (5-3, 1-1 Big 12) are gearing up for a dual against Arizona State Friday and No. 2 Oklahoma State on Sunday, both at Hilton Coliseum.

“I think the guys are looking forward to it; I know I’m looking forward to getting back in Hilton,” said redshirt fresh-

man 174-pounder Tanner Weatherman.

Kyven Gadson, who is ranked No. 9 at 197 pounds by Intermat, will face two higher-ranked wrestlers this weekend.

First, Gadson will face No. 7 Jake Meredith, who is 22-5 this season with 16 major decisions under his belt for the Sun Devils (7-9, 2-1 Pac-12). Gadson will then face No. 6 Blake Rosholt, who is 8-2 this season for the Cowboys (11-0, 2-0 Big 12).

During the Cyclones’ road stint that started with the

Midlands Championships in late December, Gadson has gone 9-2 with his only losses coming to No. 8 Taylor Meeks (Oregon State) and No. 2 Matt Wilps (Pittsburgh). Both those losses came at the Midlands, which ended in a fourth-place finish for Gadson.

“The Oregon State match that we lost at the Midlands hurts us because it’s hard to jump over that kid when he’s not wrestling the same caliber competition as

Cyclones hope for fresh start back home

By Dylan.Montz @iowastatedaily.com After ending January’s games on a sour note with an overtime loss at Kansas on Wednesday night, Iowa State will have an opportunity to return home Saturday and get a fresh start in February.

Iowa State will host Texas Tech in a “White Out” game at Hilton Coliseum on Saturday. This is the second meeting between the two teams this season with the No. 23 Cyclones (14-5, 5-4 Big 12) earning the victory against the Lady Red Raiders (16-5, 6-3 Big 12) 58-54 on Jan. 5 in Lubbock, Texas.

“You try to add a couple wrinkles here and there but you can’t change a whole lot,” said ISU coach Bill Fennelly of his game plan for a rematch with Texas Tech. “You kind of pay attention to the other guys’ personnel changes. At this time of year it’s hard to get too crazy with only two days of practice.”

Guard Brynn Williamson, who

finished with a career-high 19 points in the overtime loss to Kansas, feels that the Lady Red Raiders will come to Hilton Coliseum motivated for a win.

“We beat them at their house,

so they’re trying to do the same,” Williamson said.

“For us, I think it’s more of we’re trying to get the bounce-back win from the loss [at Kansas] in overtime and we need a sweep.”

Since losing to Iowa State on Jan. 5, Texas Tech has earned a record of 5-2 in the Big 12 with losses at No. 16 Oklahoma and at home against No. 1 Baylor. During that stretch, the Lady Red Raiders won two of those five games on the road at Texas and West Virginia.

Fennelly credits those wins to Texas Tech’s experienced lineup of four seniors and one junior.

“They’ve been through this and they’ve already got three road wins so probably they and Oklahoma, besides Baylor of course, have played the best and have been the most consistent,” Fennelly said.

Against Kansas, the Cyclones shot 38.9 percent from 3-point range, which is something that could aid the team when matched up against the zone defense of the Lady Red Raiders.

Williamson rang in 5-of-8 from deep while forward Hallie Christofferson shot 1-of-2 from behind the arc.

Track and field

Cyclones head indoors for New York City meet

By Isaac.Hunt @iowastatedaily.com One of the largest indoor meets of the year, the New Balance Invitational in New York City, will host Iowa State this weekend along with roughly 100 other teams.

The big city will also be home to half of the Big 12 — Iowa State, Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas and Texas Tech will all be competing with the Big 12 Championships just three weeks away.

The meet may throw some athletes off, but the coaches like it that way.

“It’s a bit chaotic and that’s good,” said assistant coach Travis Harke. “Things don’t happen like they should at times and it’s good practice for the Big 12 meet.”

But through all the chaos, athletes have to find ways to keep a level head. Each athlete has different ways to cope.

“We just have to know that we have put in the training,” said Ejiro Okoro. “We have done the hard work anyway; just go out and run. Coach wouldn’t let you run if he didn’t think you were ready.”

Focus may start before the race. Distractions are everywhere in New York and preparations begin early for some.

“The city is nice to visit,” said Falko Zauber.

“It’s hard to tell yourself to stay in the hotel, not go out that much and go to bed early.”

Once the meet begins, surrounding themselves in the sport is important to get a good feel of how their race is going to go.

“I remember it was really busy at the indoor track there,” Zauber said. “Everybody has their own tactic to stay focused, I usually go to the track as much as I can. Absorb the noise in there.

If I stay away from there and go into a race I will be overwhelmed.”

Zauber said every race is different and getting the feel during the race could be as much as a seven-second difference, referring to a race last weekend where Zauber got tripped up.

>>HOME.p5 we are,” said ISU coach Kevin Jackson in reference to Gadson’s place in the rankings. “So as far as we go up, that kid stays in front of us, to a certain extent.”

Above all, Gadson said he and his teammates have to go into the duals with a mentality of wanting to win, especially against Oklahoma State.

“I think [Oklahoma] State might overlook us a little bit,” Gadson said. “We went down there last year and they came here, actually, and they beat up on us pretty bad both times.”

Heavyweight Matt Gibson also has both of his matches against ranked foes in No. 15 Levi Cooper and No. 3 Alan Gelogaev. Gibson is 0-1 all time against Cooper with a 4-1 loss in last year’s dual meet.

Gelogaev proves a greater challenge, hav-

ing tallied a combined score of 22-4 in his two wins against Gibson, both of which came in dual action last season.

Weatherman would have had two ranked opponents this weekend at 174 pounds.

However, Michael DeBates of the ISU athletic department said No. 11 Blake Stauffer will not compete for Arizona State this weekend.

Weatherman, who is ranked No. 20 at 174 pounds, still has No. 1 Chris Perry of Oklahoma State on Sunday.

“I wouldn’t say it freaks me out, I’m actually kind of excited for it,” Weatherman said of wrestling the top-ranked wrestler in the country. “I’m not supposed to win — he’s supposed to beat me — so I can go out there and wrestle as hard as I can. Whatever happens, happens.”

Iowa State’s dual against Arizona State will begin at 7 p.m. Friday and its dual against Oklahoma State will begin at 2 p.m. Sunday.

At this point in the season, the focus is on the Big 12 Championships, but it is also on the outdoor season.

“It’s always complicated,” Zauber said.

“Where I am from in Germany it is the same thing. Everyone is always saying indoors doesn’t matter that much, but in the end we always did at least five competitions and trained hard.

What matters is that it takes a long, long time to get fast. It’s good to get experience indoors.”

This meet will provide some good practice for later in the season. Hartke said this will prepare the team for the outdoor season when the meets can get up to an hour or two behind schedule.

ing the loss to Oklahoma State. “We have a big opportunity in front of us on Saturday.”

Baylor acted as a big victory for Iowa State last season when it came to Hilton in March.

The Cyclones beat the No. 9 Bears to help bolster their NCAA tournament resume late in the season.

Iowa State and Baylor are the two top scoring offenses in the Big 12 so far this season.

The Cyclones average 78.4 points per game while the Bears average 76 points per game.

Baylor is led in scoring by Pierre Jackson, who also leads the conference in scoring.

Jackson is averaging 18.8 points per game and is third in the Big 12 averaging 2.47 3-pointers per game.

Tipoff is scheduled for 7 p.m. Saturday and is part of a men’s and women’s basketball doubleheader at Hilton. The Cyclones will take on Oklahoma at 6 p.m. Monday.

18 and counting?

The last time the ISU men’s basketball team lost a game in front of its home crowd at Hilton Coliseum was Jan. 11, 2012, when the team lost 76-69 to former Big 12 institution Missouri.

Since then, the Cyclones have rattled off 18 consecutive victories in Ames, including 10 consecutive victories against conference opponents.

The streak currently ranks in the top 10 in the country.

During the last two seasons combined, Iowa State is 27-2 at home, with the one other loss coming against in-state rival Northern Iowa.

With two home games coming in three days on Saturday and Monday, the Cyclones will have the opportunity to extend their streak to 20 games with two victories this weekend.

Iowa State will face Baylor on Saturday and Oklahoma on Monday; both are currently in the top half of the Big 12.

the Cyclones were able to push the ball up the court.

“If [Brynn] or I have an open shot on the wing then we’ll shoot it,” Christofferson said. “Other than that, the posts will run the floor which

helps to take some defense and looks to them so we might be open on the wing.”

Tipoff between Iowa State and Texas Tech will be at 1 p.m. Saturday at Hilton Coliseum.

Who will win the Super Bowl?

Graphic: Iowa State Daily

Ravens go up against the 49ers this Sunday Super Bowl XLVII will pit the Baltimore Ravens against the San Francisco 49ers for the chance to win the most coveted trophy in sports: The Vince Lombardi Trophy.

Let’s just get it out in the open here so you don’t have to look at the bottom of the column to see my selection. Baltimore will win 34-27 and here is why: Throw out emotion for a second.

Throw out that Ed Reed grew up just 17 miles away from the Superdome, where the game will be played. Forget that Ray Lewis announced his retirement and led the only team to lose four of its final five games in history and go on to the Super Bowl.

Just look at some of the statistics on defense.

In the playoffs this, Baltimore has

By Isaac.Hunt @iowastatedaily.com the top five leading tacklers. Granted they played one more game than San Francisco, Ray Lewis’ playoff-leading 44 tackles is 25 more than Patrick Willis’ output. Not to mention the next highest is the 49ers’ Dashon Goldson, who tied with 19.

The Ravens also have more interceptions — five to be exact — which is three more than their opposition.

What about the quarterbacks? To be honest, do we really know what Collin Kaepernick is all about just yet? Alex Smith led this team with a 6-2-1 record, while Kaepernick is at a 7-2 position (including playoffs).

Is this season a fluke or has the future of the 49ers come to fruition?

Only time will tell. But while time is busy telling, Joe Flacco has led his team to the playoffs every year since his first season in 2008, tallying an

8-4 playoff record in his five-year career.

In the playoffs, Flacco currently has thrown eight touchdowns and no interceptions. His counterpart on the West Coast has thrown three touchdowns and one interception — add two touchdown runs and his total is still short of Flacco.

Flacco (114.7) and Kaepernick (105.9) are first and second in passer rating this postseason. Flacco has kept it up longer with 93 attempts, almost double that of Kaepernick’s 52.

Special Teams. The Ravens’ Jacoby Jones is averaging 13.7 yards on punt returns in the playoffs, which ranks second only to Denver return man Trindon Holliday.

But the real kicker for the 49ers is, well, their kicker.

In David Akers’ last eight games, 12 of his kicks went through the uprights on 20 attempts. That 60 percent is not too far away from his

base of knowledge about the methods and management techniques often used in our industry,” said Allen Johnson, fields manager for the Green Bay Packers. “His ability to adjust to different group dynamics and get along with peers will help him in any future endeavors.”

Hansen said that one thing that drew him to turf management was his love for both sports and the outdoors, and this profession was “the only thing I could think of that combined the

>>BOWL.p1 cilities such as Principal Park in Des Moines, as well as Jack Trice Stadium.

An internship in 2012 at Lambeau Field, the home of the Green Bay Packers, is what made Hanson stand out from the competition.

Hansen said that working at Lambeau Field was a great experience.

“He arrived at our organization with a good

regular season percentage of 69.

Justin Tucker is a perfect 2-for-2 in field goals this postseason. If that doesn’t seem too convincing, he made 90.9 percent of his field goals in the regular season and was a perfect 4-for-4 beyond 50 yards.

The advantages in most individual categories go to the Ravens.

One could argue the run game favors the 49ers and their dual-threat quarterback and running back Frank Gore, but don’t forget about Ravens’ running back Ray Rice here.

Football is a team game, so maybe individual statistics don’t matter all that much. In that case, why don’t we look at how each team got here.

The Colts didn’t pose too large of a problem for the Ravens. Baltimore didn’t allow any of Indianapolis’ players to hit pay dirt, even against the seventh-ranked passing offense.

The Broncos, on the other hand, almost eliminated the Ravens com-

two.”

Hansen also cited the quality people he has met along the way as a sign that he has made the right choice.

“Ultimately, I would like to end up in the NFL or collegiate world, but whoever wants to hire me is a good place to start,” Hansen said. “I am debating grad school as an option for next year as well.”

The internship at Super Bowl XLVII will

pletely. As if Peyton Manning’s fifthranked passing game wasn’t enough, he brought with him the league’s second-ranked total defense.

That overtime win may have been the most impressive thing we have seen from this franchise since Ray Lewis won Super Bowl XXXV in the Ravens’ fifth year in the league.

Kaepernick made fools of Green Bay and did a little of the same to the dirty birds in Atlanta after coming back from a 17-0 deficit. The Falcons rank sixth in their passing game, but are poor in other areas — 29th in rushing and 24th in overall defense.

According to the Elias Sports Bureau, Atlanta’s 477 yards were the all-time most allowed in a playoff game to a losing team.

The 49ers will have more rushing yards than the Ravens, but Baltimore’s defense, passing game and special teams will pose too large of a challenge in the “Harbowl.”

surely be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for Hansen and he hopes to learn as much as possible in the short time he has there.

“I think the thing I want to experience the most is just networking with the people that will be there,” Hansen said. “A lot of the top people in my industry will be there, and it is a great opportunity for me.”

Hansen left for New Orleans last Sunday and will be returning on Monday.
