The shot of that cheerleader with the score showing ISU beating Texas was the best marketing ever

People will kill me for this but Pollard deserves a mention in a thread like this

Cale Sanderson, Fred Hoiberg, Johnny Orr, and either Jamie Pollard, Gary Thompson, Dan Gable, or Harold Nichols. I'm not a wrestling fan but I feel like people from the wrestling program are some of the most iconic figures in ISU sports history.

Ya but I’m not a fan of sharing people on Mt Rushmores. You don’t see any of those presidents on Canada or Mexico’s monuments. The same should be for us. We don’t need to share our greats with other colleges. If they left. They left. We have people to replace them.

The ISU fan lip synching BULL-S*** with thumbs down could knock out curly hair but agree with your two gifs and telletubbies.

Lafester Rhodes, Lafester Rhodes’ ears, Yon Chin Pak, and Jamie Pollard

What is that cheerleader's name?

 

[HFCS]

Sanderson - GOAT of a college sport Iowans care about

Troy Davis - statistical argument as greatest ever to play his position at the time

Jack Trice

-------- basketball needs to be in and tough to pick between Fizer, Tinsley, Orr, Niang, Fred and Monte. Could be any of them but I'm actually going with Monte because he's the winningest player in ISU history, led the team two of those years, and is statistically at least a top three producer. Also just a great person and 100% Cyclone as opposed to coaches or players who weren't four year players, similar arguments for Niang obviously splitting hairs.

Yeah we failed at making her a household name. How do people know Weatherwax and not her?

 

[Cyforce]

Johnny Orr
Gary Thompson
Johnny Majors (Campbell within 5 years)
Troy Davis

Putting Sanderson or Gable up would be like throwing Jefferson Davis on the original.

Any basketball list that does not include Jeff Grayer, is already dead on arrival. He’s the best to ever play at Iowa State.

Way too many people posting that weren't around before the 90's. The Mt Rushmore has to include Jack Trice (the identity of the entire football program), Dan Gable/Harold Nichols (the identity of ISU wrestling), Gary Thompson for basketball and one of the oft forgotten Louis Menze (two sport star, administrator and namesake of the ISU hall of fame).

That's another twist to this question. How old you are and what sports you're passionate about affect your list a lot.

I'm well aware of what Nichols and Gable accomplished. But being a younger guy and not really into wrestling, Nichols isn't one of the first names that pops up. I wasn't around for Gable's ISU days, so when I think of him I think of the guy who built Iowa wrestling into a power.

Jack Trice and Gary Thompson are needing more love, I'll give you that.

Criner?

SHUT YOUR DIRTY MOUTH CycloneML!;-)

Chris Taylor...YOU tell him he doesn't belong there...he IS the mountain. Well...if he were still alive.

I second that.
