My last game day run as AD. What a beautiful sunrise coming up over the bridge. Thank you to Ethan Trometer of Ames for stopping to take my picture. Go Cyclones!

Thanks to the band for a very cool tribute.

Thanks to Abbey Heron, and her Triton Academy cheer squad teammates, for taking my picture on my Cyclone game day run this morning. Awesome to see so many Cyclone fans already tailgating. A little rain can't stop Cyclone Nation!

Just learned the @isucfvmb will be performing a tribute tomorrow at half-time. Can't wait to hear/watch it! The marching band rocks!

Sixteen years ago we played Utah in Jack Trice Stadium. Coach Rhoads selected our son James as one of his team captains. James was going through cancer treatments at the time. Coach Rhoads ultimately created what is now a game day tradition - Having a Kid Captain.

A little thunder and rain was not going to cancel the game day tradition of a morning run over the bridge. Thanks to Jason Runyan from Ames for agreeing to take my picture. Go Cyclones!

It's game day - love my morning run including running over the bridge to RV village with the sun rising on the horizon. Thanks to Joey Pitts, a very loyal Cyclone fan, for agreeing to take the picture. Go Cyclones!

Thanks for all the well wishes over the past few days. It has been overwhelming trying to keep up because I was out of town with Dr. Cook touring a prototype hotel for CyTown & meeting with Goldenrod staff to plan CyTown ground breaking for September 2nd. Exciting times!

Iowa State Women's golf team leading the NCAA tournament on Day 2!

Exciting to see the Goldenrod construction fences being installed for the next phase of CyTown.
