i honestly don't feel that buehrle's best years are ahead of him, and whoever signs him is going to end up paying over a million dollars per win. sure he's a good face for the organization, but he's not even the best starter on our staff. $15m/year is better spent on filling some of our MANY glaring holes.

QUOTE(fathom @ Jun 8, 2007 -> 11:09 PM) Ozzie had a lot to do with who's on this roster also though. He's the one who needs his "speed" guy at the top of the order. He's the one who didn't want to give Anderson an extended shot this year. He's the one that never gave Gload the chance to see what he could do as a leadoff hitter. In no way am I blaming Ozzie for how bad this talent level is....but he isn't exactly out of the loop on these decisions. give ross gload a chance to leadoff? that's brilliant....

fantastic marketing campaign- take shots at the people you want to attract as fans. brilliant, just brilliant

QUOTE(NUKE_CLEVELAND @ Jul 7, 2006 -> 04:24 PM) His fastball was hitting 93 alright but it a dead body has more movement than it does. If you're going to throw it like that you need to be upper 90's and even then it's not always guaranteed it wont be hit. A 93 MPH fastball over the plate with no movement is just screaming HIT ME HIT ME!!! this isn't a new development; his fastball never had a lot of movement

it'll be nice to get iowa wrestling matches on tv outside of iowa

he's screwed up with good recruits before, but it's really at the point right now that it's going to do a lot more damage than good to get rid of him.

that was a bit overblown...around 200 of them showed up. i'll give them credit though, it must have taken a lot of work to get all the seats together.

there's no doubt that the atmosphere at hilton is better than the atmosphere at jack trice, but a loud hilton doesn't compare to carver when it gets loud

QUOTE(Heads22 @ Jun 17, 2006 -> 04:34 PM) Ask coaches in the country where they'd rather not play between the two schools. Football teams will say Kinnick and basketball teams will say Hilton, and it's not even close. something tells me that the 7 home losses you had last year would indicate something other than that

QUOTE(Heads22 @ Jun 17, 2006 -> 02:44 PM) There's been two years since 1998 when attendace at ISU, per game, has not increased. I think they plan on continuing the upward trend. http://www.kenn.com/sports/football/ncaa/ An Iowa fan also has no room to talk on attendance at basketball games. It took a Big 10 tournament championship team to edge an Iowa State team that did not qualify for a postseason tourney in attendance this year. i'd like for you to find a year that iowa state has outdrawn iowa on a per game average for basketball

lol, you can't even fill jack trice now, what's the need for some kind of expansion? iirc, isu offered discount tickets for the colorado game last year (with the b12 north title on the line) and still couldn't sell the place out. every 2 years, that place would be full when nebraska and iowa brings its fanbases. other than to appease those 2 fanbases, that expansion is pointless. also, iirc isu doesn't exactly fill hilton on a regular basis.

just because hockey's been dead in chicago for the last 10 years doesn't mean that hockey isn't still one of the 4 most popular sports in america
