DES MOINES, Iowa -- Iowa State coach Fred Hoibergs successful second season landed him a new contract with a hefty raise. jerseys from china . The school announced Tuesday that the former Cyclones star and longtime NBA player has agreed to an eight-year deal worth an average of $1.5 million a year that runs through 2021. Iowa State said terms of the contract will be released at a later date, but this deal will replace the five-year, $4.5 million deal Hoiberg signed when he took over in April 2010. Hoiberg, who grew up in Ames and earned the nickname "The Mayor" for his exploits playing for the Cyclones in the mid-90s, will nearly double his annual salary of roughly $800,000. "Fred is so much more than a great basketball coach," Iowa State athletic director Jamie Pollard said. "He is an outstanding leader with quiet confidence, long-term vision and a popularity with the fan base that is hard to describe." Hoiberg had never coached at any level when Iowa State picked him to replace Greg McDermott in 2010. But after a rocky first season, Hoiberg thrived with a team made up largely up transfers in 2011-12. The Cyclones won 23 games last season and reached the NCAA tournament for the first time since 2005, rallying a passionate fan base that was long-starved for a winner. Iowa State beat Connecticut before losing to eventual national champion Kentucky. The Cyclones finished third in the Big 12 after being picked to wind up near the league cellar. "Returning to Ames has been so much more than expected for our family and Im thrilled to have the chance to continue developing a nationally competitive program at Iowa State," Hoiberg said. "I am humbled with the extension, to say the least, and anxious to continue our journey at Iowa State." The Cyclones will lose star Royce White and guards Chris Allen and Scott Christopherson next season. But marquee transfers Will Clyburn and Korie Lucious will bolster a roster that brings back starters Chris Babb and Melvin Ejim along with a strong recruiting class. cheap nfl jerseys china .

DUBLIN, Ireland -- Four goals up before they had even kicked a ball, the Irish were not going to be denied by the cruel hand of fate this time. Ireland qualified for a major tournament Tuesday for the first time in a decade, drawing 1-1 with Estonia to clinch a place at next years European Championship after a 5-1 win on aggregate. The victory, sealed in the second leg match of a playoff, came two years after a handball by Frances Thierry Henry denied Ireland a chance at a World Cup spot. Ireland coach Giovanni Trapattoni, who was recruited to Dublin four years ago to return Ireland to footballs top stages, said the pain of Paris was finally behind his team. "We deserved also to qualify in Paris," Trapattoni said. "But in this second tournament, this time, we showed the Irish people that we have built a very fantastic team." Already leading Estonia 4-0 from last weeks first playoff match, Ireland eased further ahead in the 31st minute when Estonia goalkeeper Pavel Londak spilled Kevin Doyles header and left back Stephen Ward smashed home the rebound. Estonia salvaged some pride in the 57th minute when captain Konstantin Vassiljevs powerful 25-yard shot dipped past Ireland goalkeeper Shay Given. But the home side advanced 5-1 on aggregate. Ireland spurned several other scoring chances in the first half, including when captain Robbie Keane put a shot past the near post from just five yards out. "In the first half Robbie could have scored two," Trapattoni said. A capacity 51,000-strong crowd roared their approval as Trapattonis squad did a victory lap around Dublins year-old Aviva Stadium. Many sang rounds of "Ole! Ole!", the theme song from Irelands first foray into top-flight soccer, the European Championship in 1988. Many Ireland players noted how Irish hearts were crushed when Thierry Henrys unpunished handball helped give France a World Cup spot on Nov. 18, 2009. "We missed out two years ago in terrible circumstances. So to get to a major championship now is an amazing feeling. Its big celebration time," said Irish winger Aiden McGeady. Others cast their mind back further -- to five prevvious playoff failures, to Irelands last World Cup qualification in the Iranian capital, Tehran, in 2001, and to Irelands sole previous European Championship qualification in 1988. cheap nfl jerseys. "This has been a long time in coming," said Given as he blew kisses to the crowd, still wearing his bulky goalkeepers gloves. "Its nearly 25 years since weve been in the European Championships, and 10 years since a major championship. These fans deserve it more than anyone. Were obviously over the moon." Given said Ireland had demonstrated it can compete with Europes top sides. "Weve proved against some of the big teams in qualification that we dont fear no one," Given said. "Thatll be the same next summer. I dont think theyll want to meet us in the groups." The chief executive of the Football Association of Ireland, John Delaney, offered a beaming smile as he recalled how the Irish dressing room in Paris two years ago was a scene of "devastation, a horrible place to be." The successful Euro qualification campaign, he said, has "made my life." Delaney noted that qualification means more than C8 million ($11 million) in prize money for Irish football. And it provides an unquantifiable boost to a national spirit battered by debt and banking crises, stark unemployment and rising emigration. "Weve had a lot of negativity over the last couple of years. But tonight weve lifted the nation," he said. Irelands newly elected President Michael D. Higgins, who watched Tuesdays game from the stands, said the nation could barely wait for June, "when Ireland will take its place at the heart of European football." ------ Lineups Ireland: Shay Given; John OShea, Richard Dunne, Sean St. Ledger, Stephen Ward; Damien Duff (Keith Fahey, 79), Keith Andrews, Glenn Whelan, Stephen Hunt (Aiden McGeady, 59); Robbie Keane (Simon Cox, 68), Kevin Doyle.
