I give reactions to lots of posts. Whiners complain about the dumb ones. Some people happen to deserve a lot of them. This post is no exception.You really dumb a lot of posts....and not just mine. You love that dumb button.
So you are saying ISU was bringing is extra Millions of dollars during the 80s? From a Media contract? When we got on tv maybe a couple times a year..if we were lucky? And those were usually away?
lol, we made the CWS 30 years before we got rid of baseball. Really any comparison before the arms race really took off in the 90s is invalid. Have you seen the facilities that have been built up across the south? We barely can hang on to build adequate for football, our basketball (and volleyball\wrestling) facilities are woefully out of date and need tens of millions of dollars of investment. We can't afford to be adding another cost on top of that.Sure we are now...but during the 80s and 90s that was not the case, when my point would have been an issue.
Hell go back to the 1920s-40s or pick almost ISUs entire history, and I think you can find a lot of years of suck, when football was not making money, like now.
But Ok, I was making a point that if you go by trends of teams sucking you can pick a lot of sports...if not ALL sports at ISU that have a range of years, if not most of the entire history of the sport where ISU has been bad, to terrible. And we still host those.
I dont think we should start dropping sports simply because we have a group of 5 years that we were bad. Hell not a group of 10 or 20 years even, because like I said there would not be many if any sports left at ISU.
Tell me you understand this, and not that dense to understand what I was actually trying to point out.
Whether that means we should bring Baseball back or not is not the point, but saying we were bad is also not the point. Instead of bringing in a new coach we just quit, because we were bad? Is that really your point? Hell our baseball history is better than a lot of sports. At least we have several outright conference championships in Baseball. Not true in a lot of sports. And even made the CWS, tell me other sports that have done as well?
Its all of the aboveSo if it is about being bad, or if it is about being in the north with south teams, and cant compete, and a team that is bad and doesnt bring in $$$$. Explain this, we still have a team:
We are a bit ahead on title ix, but that doesn't necessarily mean we can remove a womens sport. And what sport do you think we'd do better at? We probably just have the ones that are cheapest to operate.And before you say title 9....we are ahead on title 9 and have been since baseball...why not drop softball and pick up another sport we have a better chance at competing in, if that is what its all about.
Still missing the point..that if we simply quit any sports that we suck at for a 5 year stretch as posted. We would not be participating in any sports.....And the fact that Football makes money was then brought up...but if you go back a couple decades..it wasnt.We are ahead on women’s, but if we dropped any, we would not be most likely.
Oh, I never said that about only having winning sports. I do believe we have to watch money and focus on FB and MBB sense those are our only money makers.Still missing the point..that if we simply quit any sports that we suck at for a 5 year stretch as posted. We would not be participating in any sports.....And the fact that Football makes money was then brought up...but if you go back a couple decades..it wasnt.
If we were to add sports, would think a key is facilities both mens/womens teams could leverage.Adding men's volleyball makes sense facility-wise, but not conference-wise.
I'd love to see beach volleyball added.
Maybe mens golf should go
Oooh oooh....Now do Football from about 1980-2000.
If you like patterns of suck as a reason to not have a sport at ISU...we would not have any sports at ISU.
I agree. I am not saying with above posts that we should/shouldn't add Baseball or any other sport for that matter. I was just pointing out that many of the reasons/excuses people use to justify getting rid of or not bringing back, Baseball can be discredited when you compare to other ISU sports.If we were to add sports, would think a key is facilities both mens/womens teams could leverage.
I would go with women's wrestling and men's soccer.
Would love if we had baseball, but IMO we would have an uphill battle to win. If the NCAA would adjust schedule to make baseball a late spring/summer sport- would be all for adding. At least initially, maybe Clones could use Principal Park.
Just here showing the point you tried to make doesn't make a lot of sense....when you compare it to every other sport at ISU...Unless you can prove otherwise.Found the person who couldn't figure it out. There's always one.
I have notifications full of the same from you...just now I will do the same to you 5 fold. So be it.Lol, triggered much?

Really did you actually read the one where I agreed that baseball wasnt coming back.....Nah didnt think so.I'm responding to your posts individually, and they are continually confidently wrong- the definition of 'dumb'.
You're going back through my post history and dumbing every post because you're a giant baby about a reaction.
Pretty big difference there.
Definitely remembering why you were on the ignore list.
He really does not seem to like your takes on The Last of Us show.![]()

Seems like a very stable and mature response to me.He really does not seem to like your takes on The Last of Us show.

Instead of spending money on adding sports ISU needs to keep putting money into the sports we have.
I have said this over and over. Very few cared about ISU baseball until it went away. Even if you bring it back ISU will never compete in this conference. Good players want to go south to play. Even the good softball players from this state go south to play.
