Re: Rhoads Locker Room Speech
That really was a game won by the whole team but Lattimer should of got it if they had to hand one out.

He says there are a lot of players it could go to but that's cyclone football.

Re: Rhoads Locker Room Speech
He says something about one of the players saying this is the reason why he came to Iowa State...who did he say said that I couldn't understand it.

I am trying to figure this one out. CPR did mention that during the media talk. Here's what I think he meant by that act. That game ball was to be stored as a suvenior for a historic game that we won. But Coach Rhoads wanted for everyone to know that we are ready to compete at this level and we dont need a game ball to remind us of the victory. We will have plenty opportunities if we keep playing like we did. They can keep their "damn" game ball.
Let me know what you thought the idea was. I personally think he made a solid statement by it. Its MUCH more telling with this act than having a cheesy speech in the locker room in order to demonstrate our abilities that many more games can and WILL be won in very near future.

I think it was a great statement. But I will gladly take that ball off of their hands.
Answer me this, do they normally give the gameball to just one individual? That would be crazy! A game is won as a team.
Yeah, gameballs are given to the 'MVP' of the game. Since the whole team played well, no one individual deserved it above the rest. It was truly a TEAM victory.
I think it was this. Although I would have to see the clip again, because I didn't catch exactly what he said right before he tossed it.
I think it's cool to compare that locker-room scene w/ the Nebraska postgame — similar spirit, but somewhat different tone ... I can't really explain it. Anyone else get what I'm saying?
Absolutely correct, but the game ball is often used to recognize a particularly instrumental individual.
I think that Rhoads meant to emphasize that this was truly a team victory in that everyone stepped-up rather than everyone played well, but so-and-so played especially well. Several players had fantastic performances on Saturday, and to only recognize one would not have done justice to the rest.
