BA can stick to you like glue, even if he is most likely a Communist.

ISU sucks.

Dan, I told you last nite. Who do you guys think would be a good fit for the soon to be open Iowa State job?

Did it during the democratic primary. On my absentee, I voted all democrat except for one republican. I also don't vote on the judges, cause honestly, I don't know.

Sage Rosenfels > David Carr, you. I'm so stoked for IND-NE. Hate the Colts all you want, I guess.

QUOTE(whitesoxfan101 @ Nov 3, 2006 -> 11:52 PM) It's in the game!! Rahshon Clark flies, Wesley Johnson soars.

He had been very noncomittal. Iowa had been having trouble in the state recently, evidenced by one Todd Blythe that we never throw to.

I'm not sure why I'm subjecting myself to the walk to Jack Trice tomorrow. Not much good can come of this.

Jordan Bernstein, top football recruit in the state of Iowa, notes Iowa as his favorite over UCLA, Texas A&M, and others.

Iowa State beats EA Sports 58-57. The same EA Sports team lost to #23 Creighton in overtime yesterday, so that was encouraging. I still don't particularly like Greg McDermott.

QUOTE(SoxAce @ Nov 3, 2006 -> 03:10 PM) God bless you Alex..

It all comes down to Kenny in the end. He got us one ring......and he also traded away Reed, Young and Rowand, opening up the way for this guy. Is his trust really gone or is this more media than anything? There's no quotes about him other than Razor's blurb.

QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Nov 3, 2006 -> 12:04 PM) I think he's referring to the fact that we need to have a ton of cheap players around. If the post-world series team wants to spend 115-120 million than they can do so without as much reliance on the farm system (notice I don't say without any because you still need to have talent to use in trades or to ocassionally bring up). However I still think this team could make other moves and decide Anderson isn't the guy. Right now I think its 80/20 that Anderson won't be the starting CFer (if not higher). I think its about 40/60 as to whether he's even in the org next year. Well, if that's the case, we better not be seeing some crappy stopgap solution.

QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Nov 3, 2006 -> 12:01 PM) I don't think thats all that likely. He's have to make serious adjustments to get to that. I laughed last year when everyone said he'd do better than Aaron offensively. Aaron had his flaws at the plate but he's a superior offensive player to Anderson (at this point in time). Defensively Anderson was damn good but Rowand is still top notch as well and if we had Rowand he would have been out there (had he stayed healthy). I'm not saying we shouldn't have traded Rowand though, so don't put me in that category. But I laugh at all this blind optimism about Anderson. I just remember ARow with just ugly looking swings when he came up. Of course not as bad as Brian, but we've seen he can hit at all levels up til now. I'm not saying he'll be the next Vernon Wells or anything and you know that, but you know that I love to be optimistic about guys like him. It's not even so much for me that people say he sucks at the plate....he has. I can see talent in there, and I guess it irks me more about the way stuff has been handled more than him flat out sucking, etc.

QUOTE(redandwhite @ Nov 3, 2006 -> 11:59 AM) Couldn't it just be that the White Sox won a World Series? The White Sox post World Series Championship is a completely different organization than it was pre Championship. I'm pretty sure we got to that point because of chemistry, pitching and defense as well as hitting. No doubt, Brian sucked at the plate for the majority of the year, but it seems strange that we'd change our modus operandi after something got us to point B. I don't mean keeping the same personnel, but the same way of getting things done. This years third place finish was a total team effort, that's for sure.

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Nov 3, 2006 -> 10:27 AM) It's official: Brian Anderson is indeed a communist. I'm never wrong. If he's moved, something was indeed up. We've been so willing to bring up guys like Crede and Rowand to let them develop at their own pace, more or less - more than one season as well. There has to be something that we don't know about.

QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Nov 3, 2006 -> 11:07 AM) I do not buy into the BA will be a superstar though. But I do think with hard work he can be one of the better all around CF's in the game (solid avg, solid pop...terrific defense). He can be Aaron Rowand, though, which I believe many people would be fine with. On a side note, 20 pounds in two weeks...jesus.

Not so much him but the incessant man love he gets in this state is enough for me.

My look at the upcoming ISU season: Pessimisticly: EA Sports W Wayne State W UC-Riverside W (1-0) Louisiana-Monroe W (2-0) Eastern Illinois W (3-0) NORFOLK STATE W (4-0) Minnesota L (4-1) LAKE SUPERIOR STATE W (5-1) at Northern Iowa L (5-2) DRAKE W (6-2) Iowa L (6-3) SAVANNAH STATE W (7-3) Bradley L (7-4) Ohio State L (7-5) SOUTHEAST MISSOURI STATE W (8-5) NORTH DAKOTA STATE W (9-5) at Missouri L (9-6, 0-1) NEBRASKA W (10-6, 1-1) KANSAS L (10-7, 1-2) at Colorado L (10-8, 1-3) KANSAS STATE L (10-9, 1-4) at Oklahoma State L (10-10, 1-5) at Texas A&M L (10-11, 1-6) BAYLOR L (10-12, 1-7) MISSOURI W (11-12, 2-7) at Texas L (11-13, 2-8) OKLAHOMA L (11-14, 2-9) at Kansas State L (11-15, 2-10) COLORADO W (12-15, 3-10) at Kansas L (12-16, 3-11) at Nebraska L (12-17, 3-12) TEXAS TECH L (12-18, 3-13) Big 12 Conference Tournament L (12-19, 3-14) Optimistically: EA Sports W Wayne State W UC-Riverside W (1-0) Louisiana-Monroe W (2-0) Eastern Illinois W (3-0) NORFOLK STATE W (4-0) Minnesota L (4-1) LAKE SUPERIOR STATE W (5-1) at Northern Iowa W (6-1) DRAKE W (7-1) Iowa L (7-2) SAVANNAH STATE W (8-2) Bradley W (9-2) Ohio State L (9-3) SOUTHEAST MISSOURI STATE W (10-3) NORTH DAKOTA STATE W (11-3) at Missouri W (12-3, 1-0) NEBRASKA W (13-3, 2-0) KANSAS L (13-4, 2-1) at Colorado L (13-5, 2-2) KANSAS STATE W (14-5, 3-2) at Oklahoma State L (14-6, 3-3) at Texas A&M L (14-7, 3-4) BAYLOR W (15-7, 4-4) MISSOURI W (16-7, 5-4) at Texas L (16-8, 5-5) OKLAHOMA L (16-9, 5-6) at Kansas State L (16-10, 5-7) COLORADO W (17-10, 6-7) at Kansas L (17-11, 6-8) at Nebraska W (18-11, 7-8) TEXAS TECH W (19-11, 8-8) Big 12 Conference Tournament W, L (20-12, 9-9) NIT L (20-13, 9-9) Honestly, we'll probably be somewhere in the middle, maybe 15-15, 6-10.

I honestly don't know if McCarney is gonna be gone. He loses out and there's a pretty good chance. The OC is as good as gone, but unless ISU can make one heck of a hire, we're occupying the North cellar for the near future. BTW, Bret Meyer was, in fact, one of the most overrated QBs in college football this year, so there ya go Jas.

QUOTE(BigSqwert @ Nov 1, 2006 -> 11:01 AM) Amazing how riled up people get over something like this. Anyone care about the actual issues anymore? You mean gay people?

Tate's a lot less moody this year than in year's past. He's still in the lead for Jesus here to many Hawk fans.

Oh Rahshon, they are eating out of the palm of your hand. You stuck around, and now you're the hero. A high flyer, I hear, as well.

Duhhhh....da duh da duhhhhhh....duh duh duh da duh da duh duh da duh duh da duh duh da duhhhhh

Iowa State sucks. Bad.
