Who wouldn't want to be the Mayor. It is really a rare opportunity to be an Iconic figure for generations. I wonder if he really gets what he is giving up. To me regardless of the ISU Fandom factor it is a no brainer.

Of all the sources in the thread, whether right or wrong, I like this one the most.
Me. I would want nothing to do with all of that attention and I don't care if it is all positive.
I really enjoyed that article. That was creative writing, and he had the foresight to see outside of his world view. Of course most of it is speculation, but in the end, he is right. I also cringe at the fact that Fred knows what this decision means to this fan base. And if he does go ahead and do it anyways, well good luck to you my friend. The midwest is always going to be in me, and I will not hate a man for doing something I never got lucky enough to do, get out and try to be something bigger.
You're right, it's not a good quality to have. It's a GREAT quality to have. What the heck are you even talking about? Apparently you've never owned a business or motivated a team of employees. When workers are emotionally invested in the success of the business they take great pride in the successes and actually give a crap if they perform poorly.
At least in Chicago you can pick up free agents. Timberwolves are basically getting their talent in the draft, since no one else wants to play there. If he's going to go the Bulls is by far the better option.

Really? When's the last time the Bulls pick up a good free agent? Boozer, aging and way over paid. Gasol, too old.... They don't have the cap space hardly, and will have to give jimmy butler a larger contract.
I wouldn't call these guys ability to use twitter Journalism. More like copy a guy at the national level and play it off as your own. Rarely do they even give credit for actual journalist work.
We need a grand gesture. Why hasn't someone scheduled a massive.sit in outside of Hilton for Fred to stay. Get a few thousand people to wait it out outside Hilton would pull on the old heart. Little kids with signs all the good stuff. We need to show him how much he means to ISU. He clearly doesn't get it.

Yes. You nailed it. He is the native son. The local hero. His is the story of fables. He said this was his dream job. Nobody hates the guy but like it or not, it certainly has the feel of listening to your significant other telling you how much you mean to them for five years and then finding out they've been saying it to someone else at the same time.
There's a stark difference between being invested and being emotionally invested (ie: taking work home with you). At least there is in my worldview. Taking everything from work personally as an endorsement and/or critique at yourself is going down the path of quick burnout.
