Rhoads says they’ll have lifting on Monday and Wednesday, run on Tuesday and Thursday, then practice on Friday, Saturday and Sunday before they go home for the holiday. The will then leave as a team on December 26th.

Rhoads says the Cyclones expect to have a large following at the game. He says everyone he’s talked to is excited about the trip and that doesn’t include the alumni in greater Phoenix and in California that they expect to show up and support.
