Iowa State hosts Iowa on Saturday...... CRIPPLE FIGHT

QUOTE(maggsmaggs @ Dec 3, 2007 -> 01:11 PM) '04 Scouting Report GRINDER Seems like he could be an eventual replacement for Dye.

You know, I'm liking what's happening this offseason so far. Find a taker for Uribe, get me a leadoff CF, find me another SP, and another RP, and I'll be good to go.

Well, who's gone now, Crede or Fields? Maybe one will leave to get us our brand new leadoff CF?

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Dec 3, 2007 -> 12:58 PM) Is it even worth noting again that Owens's OBP was actually approaching respectable for a leadoff hitter during his second callup, and his patience in the big leagues improved each month he was up? No.

I'd love the possibility of Anderson or Sweeney as a 4th OF, though the ship has sailed on BA and Sweeney needs starts, but both give you nice defensive options at all three spots. But I don't see it happening.

I don't like Owens as a 4th OF, as he is only really a passable LF.

QUOTE(fathom @ Nov 29, 2007 -> 09:38 PM) Thankfully they said Carter, and not soxtalk icon Egbert. He's my icon. Anyone else is a bandwagoner.

I plan to get acquainted with Mr. Smirnoff in about two hours.

Huckabee is very good with a crowd. That's for sure. Much like NSS, if we get Obama vs. Huckabee....I could handle that. Huckabee just kind of seems like a nice guy. Thompson looks inherently evil.

QUOTE(Gregory Pratt @ Nov 28, 2007 -> 09:04 PM) Oh come on, Rock. I agree, to an extent, with your first sentence, though I don't see good things for the next year or two, at least. But we have just as many "if not more" pitching prospects than the Twins? Maybe that's true if everyone is a prospect but we hardly have quality pitching prospects. Two? Two. (I won't count Broadway or Floyd or Haeger.) You're hatin on Eggy again, ain't ya?

QUOTE(Shadows @ Nov 28, 2007 -> 01:42 AM) Is there anything about Iowa State athletics that isn't terrible right now Only things that no one cares about.

I think I'm gonna switch to UCLA basketball.

People are starting to notice Jack.

Iowa State has put one of the worst teams on the floor that I've seen. Johnson started and dropped 18, and we lose at home to UNI, 61-48. Horrible basketball. Not even fun to watch.

Phew. I'm glad Kirk's sticking around.

I've had what seemed to be good tequila. I liked it.

QUOTE(NorthSideSox72 @ Nov 27, 2007 -> 08:48 AM) Well get the vote out in Ames, Heads! I'd be happy with Obama and Paul winning Iowa. Paul ain't gonna happen, but, Obama is a real possibility. Why is the Soc department doing this anyway? Where's my old Poli Sci department when they are needed? Tell that blowhard McCormick to get his rear in gear! Heh, I've met McCormick. I have Mansbach right now, and I've had Schmidt, who, for my money, is everyone's fav.

http://www.soc.iastate.edu/news/caucus.pdf If ISU students participate with any sort of numbers, it certainly helps one guy.

Believe it or not, the flight tracking craze started at Iowa State. The day Chizik was named, there was a flight out of Austin to Ames. The biggest question in all of this is why in the heck they want Ferentz anyways, aside from Coleman being in his corner. As far as MGoBlog, Brian's a good guy. I've dealt with him before, and I think that he's not going to post BS without some sort of source. It must suck to be a Michigan fan right now. Coaching searches can suck.

MGoBlog: A Dassault Falcon 20 left Willow Run at 6 EST and arrived in Cedar Rapids a little more than an hour later. After about 15 minutes it left, returning to Willow Run. The return leg is scheduled to touch down in approximately 30 minutes.

QUOTE(bmags @ Nov 26, 2007 -> 05:38 PM) Heads - you should start off 5-0 with that schedule. That isn't the order of our schedule. I think we play KU first next year in the b12.

QUOTE(bmags @ Nov 26, 2007 -> 02:46 PM) Iowa State could be a bowl eligible team and I think Kstate should've been better. Nebraska is losing all of their recruits with the callahan debacle. With South Dakota State, Kent State, Iowa, UNLV, Baylor, Colorado, Kansas State, Nebraska, A&M, and Oklahoma State on the schedule, I'm going to be a little disappointed if we can't find 6 wins.

Local news here saying Ferentz has been offered the Michigan job. Better yet, conjecture on MGoBlog that he may have accepted.

John Clayton?
