Carson Hansen appreciation thread

TD Hardeman! said:
Carson Hansen is an outstanding football player and a better human being. He is the IOWA STATE man we have known and admired for 150 years. A hard nosed striver. He represents the IOWA STATE ethos. Our Cyclone DNA is not Matt Campbell. Our DNA is Abraham Lincoln and everyone since that has arrived on Lincoln Way with hopes and dreams and a determination to become successful in life. A hope in the unseen.

When President Lincoln created IOWA STATE and chose the school and the strategic location of Ames to be the home of the nation's first official LAND GRANT INSTITUTION he was once again acting with vision and charting AMERICA, and especially the Midwest for a future of progress.

Carsen, I was the guy that grabbed your jersey right after the 2024 Kansas State game and said " thank you for being a Cyclone". It startled you at the time, but I was sincere as can be. I know an Iowa State man when I see one. You truly carry yourself like the tough and humble Iowa State football players proceeding you for decades. They played in sunshine but they also played in wind and rain and snow, from Norman to Boulder. There is something special about Ames. Your predecessors never complained or backed down. They just put their heads down and worked. These lessons molded them into men of character.

I am aware that your dad played football at North Dakota State. I am sure Tyler Roehl would love to coach you for that reason alone! I cannot speak for Coach Jimmy, and I know he has a budget, but he needs to know that you're the Cyclone leader on the field that we need. My dream is that a deal can be forged.

I understand you have choices and big financial decisions to make. Just remember a couple things in closing.

1.) You are a leader of men. A role model.
2.) You would probably be the defacto player leader of the 2026 Cyclone football team. You strike me as being quiet and polite. The leadership mantle is yours, if you want it. This is a great opportunity for you and for the entire Cyclone community.

In closing, I have no doubt you will be successful in life. You truly represent who we are, as Iowa Staters. Thank you for being a Cyclone.

Is this the guy who a couple years ago yelled at the team to keep their heads up after a game and then tried to have that be the reason we went on win streak or came back from halftime? I remember something like that.

Those 10-12 best Cyclones that entered the portal are headed to Penn State. Anyone who thinks otherwise is crazy. You take a foundation of Becht, Hansen, Buhr, Brahmer, Burkle, Eskildsen, Bacon, Ebel, Neal Jr., Cooper, Patton, Williams and combine that with the NIL $ Penn State will bring you are looking at a CFP team and national title contender.

I don’t disagree that they are heading to psu. They also have an easy schedule. So CFP team I could see. Maybe. That core is not going to win many playoff games, though. Too many of those guys are either too mistake prone or too injury prone.

From what I have read, Campbell is retaining quite a few high level players from Penn State.

Combine that with the nucleus of Iowa State transfers and a half dozen high profile transfers with their NIL cash...they are going to be pretty damn good.

I’m sure they are. All I’m saying is that there is a huge difference between being in the CFP and being an actual contender. I do not believe that there are many players on either ISU or psu rosters that are good enough to be major contributors on a NC team. Certainly not Rocco.
