All-Time Iowa State Team...

Awesome heres the wild card at QB, Marv Seiler! Ik that Seneca and Sage are legitimately better but seriously theres no way they could do that against a Nebraska team coached by Tom Osborne . And for a kicker, Carl Gomez
:biglaugh:
Don't be eating those shorts. Rumor was that no one at the camp believed it either, that's why they timed it twice. 4.1 or not, the speed was probably the ONLY reason that he hung out in the NFL for a season or two. Then played some in the World League. Then played in the XFL (often being the guy who ran to the ball in the middle of the field in that weird thing they did en lieu of a coin flip).
Meyer built up a lot of yards, but he was probably the only throwing QB (at least in a long while) to start at ISU for all four years. Archer was a JC transfer, as was Seneca. Rosenfels grew into the position, earning the startingjob as a junior. No one could beat him after that. Amundson was a starting running back his junior year, then the starting QB his senior season. Not sure what position Amundson played his sophmore year. I believe before sometime in the 80's, freshmen were inelligible to play in the games.
I never liked the way Meyer waggled his leg behind him when he passed. Arnaud also occaisionally has that same flaw in his form. Hopefully the new coaches will clean that up.
I suppose if there's a place on the all time team for guys who played both sides of the ball, and guys who are best described as Athletes, then there's probably a place for #1 All Time Unlikely Legend. I don't know if anyone can compare.
Gomez...didn't he miss a Kick vs Oklahoma? Or am I thinking of someone else who was usually reliable and had range, but missed one really important kick (there are so many to choose from).
Someone mentioned Dexter Green, which made me think of John Quinn at QB. Competent, but probably too far down the QB list.

I haven't seen Larry Crawford on anyone's list yet. (As good a DB as we ever had.) Also, I really like Dan Johnson at Tight End and Keith Sims at Center.
Ron MacFarland and Maynard Stensrud were very good Nose Guards.
Great lists, brings back memories.

if they could have found a football uniform to fit him,chris taylor could have been one of the best offensive linemen ever in a cyclone uniform. chris was one helluva offensive tackle at muskegon michigan junior college before he came to iowa state to wrestle for coach nichols. taylor should be ranked as isu's best wrestler-even better than bael sanderson in my book.
I will never forget Espinoza getting in trouble for jumping out of the back of a pick-up in campus town and getting into a fight. His quotes later in the paper were something akin to "I have to remember I am in Iowa can't do that here. That was normal where I am from (cali if I remember correctly.)

Maybe I missed him running through all the posts, but I don't see leaving Dave Hoppman off an all-time list for Iowa State.
