Cy the Cyclone
Starter
That’s right….Cy will be back on the field when NU travels to Ames next fall. Not “close” to the field…not behind the bench where they stand all the old fossils that played back in 1942…but right there on the sidelines where I…Cy the Cyclone…could possibly play a part in the outcome of the game!
Okay…I won’t actually be in the game or even part of the athletic (using the word loosely…this is ISU we’re talking about after all) squad in any capacity. No…Cy will have a much bigger role to play…one sure to affect the game on a regional level! That’s right…Cy will once again be holding the “spotter stick” that lets all the television viewers see the green line that marks where the next first down will be! I was given that honor last year during the Kent State and UNI games and did such a fine job that they have requested my presence on the field once again…or the guy that normally does it is going to be out of town or something…anyway, I’m getting NU and A&M for the best seat in the house!
If you have to watch the game on TV this year…look for the wavering green first down indicator line that keeps weaving back and forth like some drunk is in charge of it. You’ll know I’m on the job!
