    Dalvin Cook = Whiny Baby

    So you would be happy if a star athlete wasn't frustrated. He didn't say he deserves more playing time, or that he's better that Breece or that the coaches are making the wrong choices. If he wasn't frustrated about it, I wouldn't want him on my team at all.

    Will ISU make a Bowl Game? YES! Which One? LIBERTY BOWL 12/29

    Yeah, that would be great but I am never disappointed if a team roles over. If Iowa State plays their A game and Texas plays their A game, Texas most likely wins.

    Will ISU make a Bowl Game? YES! Which One? LIBERTY BOWL 12/29

    Yeah, it's no guarantee but if you punch a team in the mouth and it's super cold, we have seen them role over.

    F*CK IOWA

    We were told the replay was for our of bounds but the TV people, who were just guessing. Ref may not have blown it dead because they weren't sure. It's a good rule too. If they allowed the low waving all the time, returners would try to fake out the other team.

    $100 million theme park coming to Waterloo.

    It's a really nice park. Will be better when the get some bigger trees. Hopefully they can rope more people in. Their main ride is a really cool 3D ride.

    Bundling is always cheaper. Imagine the will ask for bids for bundling as well as separate. Take whatever is better.

    ***2024 Minnesota Vikings***

    If they lose Next week, I thnk they should trade whoever isnt part of the future. Maybe Cousins gets dinged up and they see what Hall has.

    Hail Mary, Houston wins.

    Do you see many lateral plays when the QB has enough arm strength to get it to the end zone? I don't watch a ton of football, but it seems like I usually see a Hail Mary

    MLB: ***2024 Minnesota Twins***

    Oh, I don't think he will ever be as good a defender as Polanco. Maybe he'll turn into Corey Koskie. He was brutal defensively early on and turned himself into a borderline gold glover. And yeah, if Lewis got hurt next year, Polanco at 3rd and Julien at 2nd is an awful idea.

    Williams & Blum Wednesday: Cincy preview, Gonzaga to the Big 12

    I like chili with and without beans. Depending on the beans, that can be a really healthy part of the meal.

    How often have you seen them? I had read that Julien did make improvements this year. Not that he's good, but just not nearly so bad.

    MLB: ***2024 Minnesota Twins***

    Yeah, was recruited as a SS. Played more 2B and 3B this year with a little bit of DH. With his size, I bet he ends up at 1B. My point was more about the overall depth. If Polanco is expendable because you have Julien, then you could say Julien is is expendable because you have Severino...

    Coin Flip = 50/50 Odds... No Longer

    I'm not statistics effort, but even with 350K flips, wouldn't 50.8% be within the standard deviation? I'd be more surprised if it was exactly 50% on there. Logically I think that the side up would show up slightly more, though. Lets say in order for it to be an official flip, it has to do one...

    MLB: ***2024 Minnesota Twins***

    Julien at DH depends on Buxton. If Buxton continues his suckitude, there is plenty of room for Julien. If Buxton hits great but has to DH, then it's tough. Polanco, Festa and Emmanuel Rodriguez might be enough to get the Mariners talking about Logan Gilbert or George Kirby. Pirates wouldn't...

    MLB: ***2024 Minnesota Twins***

    If the traded Polanco for a pitcher, then I think they'd make Lee the full time starter there. Same reason I would be okay with trading Julien for a guy like Mich Keller. Lee could be a CF, but if he was 2B, signing Taylor again for CF would be good. Yunior Severino is another guy who is...

    MLB: ***2024 Minnesota Twins***

    I am not opposed to any trade from depth. The only downside to trading Polanco is that he wouldn't have as much value. However, he might be a key piece in a Mariners trade because they need help now.

    MLB: ***2024 Minnesota Twins***

    The health is really the factor here. If he can get relatively healthy, he's not a .220 hitter with okay but not great power. He's a borderline MVP type player on a incredibly reasonable contract. Its a moot point, though. He's not going anywhere. Twins aren't going to trade him. If they...

    MLB: ***2024 Minnesota Twins***

    He has seen live major league hitting in the last week or so, just not in front of fans. I know they had some of their pitchers that aren't on the roster going all out to get him out. I sure hope he was hitting them well. If he was struggling against them, then it was a bad choice. If he was...

    MLB: ***2024 Minnesota Twins***

    I think they need more mature hitting. I'd love to see an analysis of their 40 man roster and Rule 5 eligible players. They currently have 46 players on the 40 man (6 guys on the 60 day IL), so they'll have to get rid of 6 to start. I think the 60 day DL does not count for rule 5 purposes...
