Video: Troy Davis nostalgia

Here at CycloneFanatic.com, we don’t need excuses to sit back and remember Troy Davis’ amazing career, 

BUT, since voting for the 2014 class of the College Football Hall of Fame will take place today (and Davis’ name is on the ballot), I thought it would be appropriate to share this awesome video that Cyclones.tv recently produced remembering ole No. 28’s career in Ames. 

For those who need a refresher course, Davis’ resume looks like this: Two-time Heisman Trophy finalist…Two-time First Team All-American…First player in NCAA history to run for more than 2,000 yards in two seasons…1996 Big 12 Player of the Year…

Not bad. 

Anyway, I really enjoyed the above video and the commentary from a guy who has forgotten more about Iowa State than I will ever know, Tom Kroeschell. 

UPDATE: Davis was not inducted to the Hall of Fame today as he did not receive enough votes.

Chris was hired as Cyclone Fanatic’s publisher in the fall of 2009. He is Iowa State football's postgame show host on the Cyclone Radio Network and can be heard daily from 4-7 on Des Moines' top-rated sports station, 1460 KXnO. Williams, a 2007 graduate of Iowa State’s Greenlee School of Journalism, is the former publisher of the old CycloneNation.com (Scout.com). He has also written for the Des Moines Register, the Ames Tribune, CycloneReport.com and is the former sports director at KMA Radio. When Williams isn’t working, you can usually find him doing something outdoors with his wife Ashley, daughter Camryn, and Golden Retriever Dierks. He enjoys golfing, boating, country music, the Minnesota Vikings, Atlanta Braves and is passionate about any and all motor sports so finding Williams at a local dirt track is very common.
