Welcome back to the March Madness Mania blog. Once again, this has been a crazy week of college basketball.

The resurgence of the running back was a pleasure to watch, and now, two of the most prolific running backs we've seen in a while might get to take home some serious hardware; the Heisman Trophy, given to the most outstanding player in the country every year. There were some very deserving candidates who weren't invited to New York City, (Sorry Baker Mayfield and Keenan Reynolds) but this years crop of candidates is still very talented and worthy of the title Heisman Trophy Winner.

Despite a 9-4 record in 2014, the Trojans were the popular pick to win the Pac-12 in 2015. That sentiment took a decisive blow when Stanford (yes the Stanford that got bullied by Northwestern in week 1) upset USC Saturday in the Coliseum. The Trojans were one of two teams, including Alabama, ranked in the top 10 that went down Saturday. A third team, Ohio State, almost suffered one of the biggest upsets in college football history at home.

As an Iowa State student, I enjoy going to the games and supporting my school and team. The games are what I look forward to every weekend. There is a common characteristic of the love for Iowa State and Iowa State’s athletic teams in the stadium. The excitement from all the students and other Iowa State fans brings joy to my eyes. My favorite part of the football games is when all the fans in the student section are standing on the bleachers and cheering together and supporting our team. Although our football may not be very good, we still go to the all games and see our football players do the best they can and bring a win for Iowa State University. Everyone enjoys when the fight song plays and when we sing all the common cheers all together. The stadium gets so loud when there is an exciting play that happens in the game. When there is a touchdown for Iowa State the stadium gets so loud that I can’t even hear myself think and I enjoy the commotion from everyone where we all go around and high-five the people around us. With so many fans, the stadium must have a good size to hold all the cheering fans in one place. Because of so many fans, the stadium is the sixth largest stadium in the Big 12 Conference (by capacity) and the third newest in the conference. The record for most attendees to a single-game was against Kansas State with an attendance 56,800 people

Whether it be the crazy crowd at the Gaylord Family Oklahoma Memorial Stadium, or the Famous “BOOMER SOONER” chants sooner fans roar before the game. It might be the thousands of tailgaters that gather to cook hotdogs and burgers, or maybe it's a walk through Legends Lobby that gets fans ready to watch the game. Whatever it is this is Sooner Football. Rich History and tradition, created by talented players and coaches, has made Oklahoma Football into the powerhouse that it is today.

Iowa State has shown some promise in college basketball. In the history of Iowa State basketball, there are several players who are considered great during their college days. The likes of Fred Hoiberg, Gary Thompson, Marcus Fizer, Jeff Grayer and the like are being remembered as one of the popular players in the history of the school. However, there's one guy who really stand out from the rest of them. He teamed up with the likes of Naz Long, Bryce Dejean-Jones, Monte Morris and the rest in Wisconsin. As a high school senior, he is one of the top 100 players during that time. He wants to step up his own game by choosing Iowa State instead of Virginia. As a member of the Iowa State Cyclones, Matt Thomas was nicknamed "The Iceman". Sounds good

Although the season may not started the way we would have liked, we have been persistent to get better since the beginning of our journey. It could have been easy to pack up our bags and call it a year early on. However, Big Blue football simply does not give up. Every player wears their jersey with pride and holds their head high. During practice, we improve together and learn from our mistakes. We are not a group of individuals, but a unified team. We cannot rely on one person to carry us on their back, as we all have our individual tasks that need to be accomplished in order to be successful. In my second year at Andover, I have learned that Andover football is more than just a commitment to the game we all love. It is about flying to the
