Let's make this birthday one to remember.

58 years old (Born on February 02, 1967)

Happy Birthday, Coach Rhoads! Just think: you were the one bold enough to step into Ames after Chizik—and we still love you for it. Who else could inspire a sea of cardinal and gold by proving that cyclones really can blow away every expectation—especially Nebraska's in 2009?

In all seriousness though, your fiery sideline speeches and unforgettable locker room celebrations truly became timeless Iowa State moments. From the epic victories to passionate fist pumps, you've proven Cyclone pride is forever young—even if our blood pressure isn't. May your birthday be victorious (with fewer overtimes than usual)!
