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

    My personal dream offseason moves: Swing a package deal for Danny Salazar and Carlos Carrasco from CLE for a package of Baez, Soler, Vogelbach, Eloy Jimenez and maybe one more (Hanneman / DeWees). Solves the starting pitching problem, plus frees up all the money earmarked for free agency...

    Deonte Burton

    I apologize if this has already been vetted, but I'm still struggling with this. The overarching rule is "5 years to play 4." So, given that Burton has used up 1.5 years already, can't he redshirt this spring and next fall (bringing the total to 2.5 years) and then become eligible to play for...

    BLUM: Paul Rhoads deserves another climb

    I get what you're saying, but then it would also be fair to say Rhoads has never had a winning season, correct? Given bowl games don't count, can't count the Insight Bowl win as a "winning season."

    How long will CPR last?

    You do realize OSU and Stanford run vastly different offenses? If ISU has been running both a spread and an NFL-type offense, then I must be watching the wrong team. Additionally, it's a cop out to blame the players for lack of playmaking when the schemes/coaches aren't putting them in...

    Just Remember...

    When is "playing for the future" ever not going to be an excuse for sub-par performances? It's year 5. It is the future. And rebuilding for 6 win seasons is lipstick on a pig.

    What will Fred's 2013 - 2014 team look like next year?

    ok, but I think you're taking for granted that this team was even in those close games at the end. a lot of the ability to even stay competitive in those tough road games, even though we didn't win a lot of them, was attributable to having 5th year seniors. look, i'm not saying that next...

    What will Fred's 2013 - 2014 team look like next year?

    the problem this time is that next year we replace our starters with freshmen and JUCOs with zero D1 experience rather than replacing them with 5th-year seniors who had extensive D1 experience. on paper, this team will have its share of growing pains. if MM and MT can have freshmen seasons...

    Maurice Jones has work to do?

    Unless I missed something, we'll also still have Naz Long to play some point next year too.

    Royce White may have been promised a pick.

    Minnesota perhaps? I know they pick 18th and he could have possibly gone higher, but it's been made obvious that's the team he wants to play for

    Big names who visited, but didnt sign

    I think you're remembering Lawrence Westbrook, who chose Minnesota over us, and not Russell Westbrook. I may be wrong though.
