    Cye of the Storm: EP 5.13 Presidents of Ames: Nick & Cal on the Viral Costume Craze, Road Trips, and Iowa State Basketball Fame

    In this fun-filled episode of In the Cye of the Storm, Dave Larson is joined by Cyclone legends Brent "Big Play" Curvey and Marcus Fizer as they sit down with the viral sensations known as the Presidents of Ames — Nick Menson and Kyle "Cal" Levi. The guys share how a simple winter break game against Kansas sparked the presidential costumes, how a last-minute road trip to Manhattan turned the idea into a phenomenon, and how fan donations helped fuel their unforgettable March Madness adventures — from Milwaukee to Chicago and beyond. They open up about the energy shift when they walk into bars and arenas, the overwhelming fan love (including picture requests everywhere), the challenges of being broke college students funding their travels, and what the future holds with a new "president" (Jaquan Johnson) joining the roster. The conversation also dives into the current state of Iowa State basketball with Milan Momchilovic entering the NBA Draft and transfer portal, TJ Otzelberger’s busy weekend adding five new transfers, football schedule changes (Friday night games at BYU and UCF), and a heartfelt discussion on NIL, player loyalty, legacy, and Hall of Fame criteria in today’s evolving college sports landscape. Plus, plenty of laughs about old-school Cyclone memories, juicy wiggles, and what an Iowa State old-timers game might look like. A must-listen for any Cyclone fan who’s cheered for the Presidents at Hilton Coliseum or on the road!

    The Iowa State women’s gymnastics program has been part of Cyclone athletics history for decades — but recent news has left fans and former athletes stunned. On this episode of Cye of the Storm, we welcome former Iowa State gymnast Tanya Banks (Huey), who competed for the Cyclones from 1999–2000, to share her perspective on the program, her time representing Iowa State, and the emotional impact of the program’s recent cancellation. Tanya takes us inside the life of a collegiate gymnast — the commitment, the pride of competing for the Cyclones, and the bond formed between teammates. She also offers a powerful perspective on what the loss of the program means for athletes, alumni, and the broader Iowa State community. We also break down the latest news surrounding Iowa State athletics and discuss what the future might hold for Olympic sports in Ames.
