    MLB Suspends Astro Mgr & GM For Cheating.

    Yeah, every single owner in any league would trade 5 mill, 4 draft picks, and a little bad press for a championship and a perrenial playoff calliber roster. Astros owner gets by with a slap on the wrist when he either knew or should have known. And nothing was done that affects the Astros...

    MLB Suspends Astro Mgr & GM For Cheating.

    When teams feel like there's a chance of signs up being stolen, like with a runner on second, the catcher will change the signs or at least pretend to. The problem is if they're being stolen in ways not anticipated by the catcher.

    Weather Thread - Jan 10 & Jan 11

    One of the biggest lessons most freshman learn their first winter at college. Only underclassmen wander central campus without a coat and hat/hood when it gets cold.

    Will we see a different starting lineup today?

    It took half a season for Frosh Solomon to get in the rotation, Darrell Bowie, Zoran Talley, both saw their roles change significantly through their Sr seasons. Yes Prohm is slower to change than most fans would like. But to act as if the starting lineup at the start of the season is what we're...

    Engine Fails on KU MBB Plane

    Glad everyone is safe. In before the inevitable Adidas/bagman/overfilled shoebox joke that I'm not clever enough to make.

    Way Too Early 2020 W/L Predictions

    I expect next year's team to come in humbled, embarrassed, and angry. I expect them to work and grow more this off-season than they did these past 2. I expect growing pains on the o line, but I think we have a higher ceiling. I think this year's team acted like they were more talented than they...

    Interesting fall graduates

    I believe it was against Kansas, when we had a comfortable lead. Terrific catch, but then later that game dropped a likely touchdown that hit him in stride. I thought he had a chance to carve out a niche on last year's team, but for whatever reason he never took that next step. We have had a...

    Nov 17th Dual vs Bucknell

    From my uneducated perspective, it seemed like Gremmel was pushing the action and their guy was hanging on the edge retreating directly out anytime he was threatened. Gremmel said something to the ref out of frustration, and then rode him off the mat onto the hardwood. And then did it again...

    Nub hoops off to a great start!!!!!!!

    This is the best summation I've seen yet for what every MBB thread eventually devolves into. Every. Single. Thread. I enjoyed Nebraska losing yesterday even more than I usually do because I knew it would temporarily silence an insufferable segment of our fan base. I will continue to enjoy every...

    BREAKING: Georgia PG commits to 2020 recruiting class

    Anyone being recruited to a P6 school generally has enough talent to play a roll somewhere, it's always going to be a matter of buying in and investing. Some of our recent more highly rated recruits seemingly weren't as invested as guys like Georges, Naz, Haliburton, who were less highly...

    I'm mostly sober. Skies are clear and sunny to the west, and every other direction. But obviously the radar knows more.

    How did Iowa State become a "Busch Light" fan following?

    I stock AB product on the weekends, and Busch Light is 2-1 everything else combined, unless there's a big sale on Bud Light or something. Personally, I don't drink enough to have a preference, a lot I haven't tried or don't remember. Of the cheap college beer, Natty was by far the worst...

    So... How Will the Game go?

    Iowa will struggle to move the ball on us, everyone but Oklahoma and Okie St will struggle to move the ball on us. They may hit a few 20ish yard plays, enough to score on 2 drives, if we don't give up short fields. We are deeper and more well equipped to shut down their offense than they are...

    How do think it will turn out in the B12?

    Seriously though, a case can be made for any of the preseason top 3 to win, or drop, and every team in the middle of the pack is capable of pulling an upset or two. The round robin is especially fun in a year like this when even the teams at the top have chinks in the armor.

    Hosting an exchange student

    I thought a lot last night about what I could add to the great advice others had already posted, had it all formulated, and then got on this morning to discover CyberJJJ had added everything else I had thought to add. We've hosted 5, with 4 positive experiences and one that was sent home at...

    Kansas @ Kansas State

    If Self Pete Carroll's himself to the NBA we'll know sanctions are on the way. So, he'll be there next year.

    Troy Davis and #28

    Someone should have talked to Troy ahead of time, he deserves that courtesy, give him a chance to feel heard and respected. Maybe that's all it would have taken to avoid this. Does anyone remember what number the immortal Beau Blankenship wore? If Hall busts, no one would have remembered his...
