    MLB: ***Official 2021 Chicago Cubs Season Thread***

    I agree about Bryant. He is having a good year, but I don't think he is worth signing long-term, based upon his last four years. I don't think the return will be as good as people think, but it will be better than a supplemental draft pick. I don't agree on Rizzo. The Cubs traded Darvish in the...

    MLB: ***Official 2021 Chicago Cubs Season Thread***

    It only works if you have a first baseman with the IQ of the average Hok fan.

    Tristan Enaruna Commits

    Why? He has already graduated. He is already 22. It is not going to be a fun season in Iowa Chitty next year. He isn't going to improve his professional chances playing for the Hoks next year. He loses a season that he could get paid to play basketball. If he hadn't already graduated I could...

    The Fran fade

    I want to see the Mccaffrey boys enter the portal. I couldn't imagine the hilarious reactions that would cause in the fan base.

    ***Official 2020-2021 Transfer Thread***

    I don't think Foster is going to play the five. I think he sees himself as a stretch four. He's 7' but really doesn't want to do all of the dirty work.

    Gabe Kalscheur Commits

    This is my hope. Green has been pretty solid developing inside guys at UNI. If he can continue to do that ISU, it would really change the recent history of this team.

    MLB: ***Official 2021 Chicago Cubs Season Thread***

    I don't know about Rizzo. He is on the wrong side of 30 and his numbers took a hit last year. That could be COVID related, so this year would be very important to him and his future with the Cubs. The Cubs are not going to be good for the foreseeable future, so you pick up a couple pieces each...

    MLB: ***Official 2021 Chicago Cubs Season Thread***

    I hate to say it, but I think you are wrong. I don't see the point of keeping any of them. Only Willy has recently performed at a level to be attractive at the cost to sign him. As a catcher, and being the team is really a long ways away, he needs to be traded because he won't be any good by...

    The Fran fade

    How could the Hoks let him go? After all, 63-0 is historical.

    My guess is that it isn't necessary but it lets coaches know about your availability. Free advertising.

    Coach TJ’s Coaching StAff

    I think the fact the Jacobson interviewed at Minnesota would be reason to question whether you wanted to stay. I would guess that AJ would have been asked to follow to Minnesota, but when your coach is looking why shouldn't the player.

    The Grant Gibbs rumors

    I don't think 6'1", 6'3" and 6'4" is that undersized.

    Agree on the timing. If the decision is made it needs to happen. Drawing out announcing it would be a big waste of time and could only hurt the retention of any players that the coach decided he wanted to keep. I don't want to give the perception that I don't support TJ. He's the coach and his...

    I agree, that discussion should only involve realistic options. It just seems that if ISU is a great job there should be more than one realistic candidate to consider. I really do hope that TJ is successful. It would be the best possible outcome. I look forward to watching the program regain...

    The post I replied to basically explained that TJ was the only one available wanting and capable of doing the job. That doesn't sound overly optimistic of the job to me.

    TJ is the coach and I hope he is a resounding success, but to act like he was the only fit for this job is dishonest.

    Williams and Blum latest podcast

    So basically, ISU is a ****** job, and the fanbase needs to get a clue that we were lucky TJ wanted the job, because no one else did. That sure limits the idea that ISU can have success in the future.

    The Fran fade

    It seems TJ is going to get five years, and it looks like Fran is going to eighteen. It wouldn't surprise me a bit if they both have the same number of sweet sixteens at the end of each of those terms.

    The Fran fade

    Nothing could be funnier than Garza coming back to college but transferring to another school. Bonus points if he would reach the Final Four.
