    Coronavirus Coronavirus: In-Iowa General Discussion (Not Limited)

    Agreed. Which makes this all so frustrating. You can't just shut down part of society and expect the rest to chug along like normal.

    Coronavirus Coronavirus: In-Iowa General Discussion (Not Limited)

    Great. Why is it "most schools" and not "all schools"? And what is that plan? And what if a parent doesn't have enough leave or can't get the leave they need? And what if that leave is an hourly job or otherwise unpaid leave and they rely on each paycheck to pay their bills?

    Coronavirus Coronavirus: In-Iowa General Discussion (Not Limited)

    a lot of people here are very supportive of closing schools, and I get the need for social distancing, but how do we deal with kids whose parents can't work from home? whose parents don't have enough vacation to stay at home? who rely on school lunches as their only true meal of the day? whose...

    OT: 1917

    You're not alone. Maybe it was the expectations I had going in, but I've never quite understood the hype for Dunkirk. I thought it was fine, but not spectacular by any means.

    This is why Prohm must go........

    it really depends on how you want to look at the rankings. if you use 247's Average Rating (per player), then it's only ISU's 5th best class since 2012. Far from best ever.

    He was really good in Game of Thrones, too.

    Marvel Cinematic Universe

    I saw it yesterday, too, and I was also not blown away. Was it good? Yes. Does it deserve to be a 93% on Rotten Tomatoes and thus one of the highest rated MCU movies? No. My largest qualms were (1) the locales used throughout the movie (as far as MCU characters, Spider-Man's setting (New...

    Marvel Cinematic Universe

    I thought this movie was great. I really liked the "green" Nick Fury aspect, particularly. It's not a perfect movie, but I definitely had some goosebumps at certain points. I also can't wait to watch this with my young daughters someday. I think the Thor comparisons are fair. Also like Thor...

    I don't think the King Arthur bomb meant anything. Ritchie is the writer and director of next year's Aladdin live-action movie.

    MONDAY MUSINGS: ISU played right into Hawkeye hands

    In reading the musings, I will strongly disagree that JGJ is our best lineman. It's Knipfel, and I don't think it's particularly close. JGJ got absolutely manhandled this past Saturday. For example, I distinctly recall a delayed blitz up the middle from Niemann where he bull-rushed JGJ and...

    PREDICTIONS: Iowa State at West Virginia

    With a defense that has given up just 20 points in the last 14 quarters, I don't get why everyone is so quick to assume WVU will beat that mark in 4 quarters. Grier can be mistake prone, and I think the D gets 2-3 takeaways giving Kempt & Co. a short field. ISU 30 - WVU 13

    Scouting the guy you shouldn't forget about -- Darius McNeill

    His game / highlights remind me a lot of De'Aaron Fox. Obviously, I'm not saying he'll have a Fox-like impact, but Fox is immediately who came to mind in watching McNeill's film.

    MLB: ***Official 2016 - 17 WORLD SERIES CHAMPION CHICAGO CUBS Offseason Thread***

    I think it's safe to add Edwards as a lock in the pen as well.

    MLB: ***Chicago Cubs 2015 Season***

    Got it. I knew Carrasco was being shopped at the deadline, but didn't know talks had fired up again. Also didn't hear that Salazar was on the block as well. That honestly does make me a little more nervous / hesitant, but I still think both should be on the Cubs' radar.

    MLB: ***Chicago Cubs 2015 Season***

    I didn't know Cleveland was actively looking to trade them. I was just speculating. If they are actively shopping, I still say get them, but at a lower cost if Cleveland gets desperate. And Tyson Ross will be more expensive than either of the CLE guys. Theo was uncomfortable pulling the...

    MLB: ***Chicago Cubs 2015 Season***

    And lastly, to be clear, I'm not just focused on Carrasco and Salazar. They're just enticing to me because you could get a package of two young arms at once. I also wouldn't mind seeing the Cubs think about going after Jake Odorizzi and Nathan Eovaldi in Tampa (not sure if realistic, though)...

    MLB: ***Chicago Cubs 2015 Season***

    Other than wanting Price, I pretty much agree with your sentiments. However, I don't think there are a lot of young, controllable arms available for trade which makes it more expensive to do so. Meaning, if the Cubs are serious about trading for this type of pitching, they're going to have to...

    MLB: ***Chicago Cubs 2015 Season***

    Nope. But I also realize young, controllable arms are high-valued assets, so they'll cost something valuable in return. Carrasco and Salazar would fill in nicely at #3 and #4, with probably Hendricks at #5. Salazar is only 25 with decent upside and Carrasco is only 28 while posting FIPs below...
