I think Iowa State should be pretty popular, because fact is, if you follow college basketball, someone on your favorite team has transferred to Ames to play for the Mayor.

Hope Missouri would enjoy getting trampled in the SEC. They built most of their success in a weak Big 12 North.

QUOTE (VictoryMC98 @ Sep 27, 2011 -> 09:28 PM) Kenny stated he is "punting" in an interview today.. And needs to clean up his mess if he wants to move up the corporate ladder. Payroll is getting cut, Mark coming back isn't cutting.. I honestly think we'll look to move Gavin or Danks first.

That "me too" makes me feel a little better.

I wonder if Dunn and Wise discussed getting booed at the Cell...

Hope Coop sticking around means Mark sticks around.

Sounds like West Virginia likely to SEC. Have to imagine this fast-tracks Louisville to the Big 12.

QUOTE (Kalapse @ Sep 26, 2011 -> 08:48 PM) Ozzie Guillen's value was never that high. For as mush as he's frustrated the Marlins organization LoMo is a 23 year old former top 20 prospect, under team control for another 5 years, hit 22 HR this year and owns an 810 career OPS. That's a very valuable piece right there, not the kind of player you swap for a manager who was on his last leg with his former org. We could get Nunez.

Heyman says likely no LoMo.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Sep 26, 2011 -> 08:17 PM) I know it's a meaningless game, but what kind of organization lets someone resign and then still manage? A team trying to get a higher draft pick, obviously. We could forfeit every remaining game for all I care.

The campaign for Kalapse as manager begins.

QUOTE (Felix @ Sep 26, 2011 -> 07:58 PM) Wouldn't clear waivers I have no idea how manager deals at this point in the season work. Or if it would be official before the end of the season.

LoMo?

Sounds like A&M will officially be gone to the SEC today. I can say with full enthusiasm that they can go f*** themselves.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Sep 24, 2011 -> 09:09 AM) I was thinking about the bolded above the other day - kinda sucks some of the wind out of it. But still happy to see the team doing well, that's a rarity, and glad to hear they are selling out football games (which only happened against Iowa, if ever, when I was at school there). Not sure if anyone in here other than you and I care though. Unless ISU does beat Texas, then I think it gets really interesting. Team fully believes it can right now.

Iowa is just not as good this year. In their game against Iowa State, despite them going to Coker like 35 times, I thought they went away from him too much in the second half. Once Ferentz started getting pass happy against Iowa State, things went downhill for them. Granted, our corners are pretty decent. I think they really do miss DJK this year, he allowed them to do a bit more in their offense than they do now. And yes, I realize that Vandenberg went off in the fourth against Pitt. Of course, Iowa got Steele Jantz'ed pretty hard too. Also, I haven't said much about ISU this year....but it's been a hell of a lot of fun this year. We will have our third straight sellout against Texas, and honestly, for the first time in my life, if we play our game, we should expect to beat the Longhorns. Fact is, we've been downright bad in terms of turnovers this year (Jantz started 0-4 with 3 INT against UConn) but still managed to win. I was expecting three wins this year, and we're already there. Who would have thunk that when we'd play Texas, it'd be to get into the Top 25, a primetime game on FX with Gus Johnson calling it? I guess our bookstore is selling these too: The weird thing is, the Big 12 stuff has really dampened the best ISU start to a season since 2002. I wasn't sold on Paul Rhoads at first, but I'm getting there. I do know that I love my team. And the crazy s*** Steele Jantz pulls. Because he still has a negative passer rating in the first quarter this year. Oh, and I'll jump on the hate ND bandwagon....well at least Brian Kelly. f*** him. Hope he loses his job. You let a kid die on your watch, you shouldn't be trusted with the well being of over a hundred others.

I'd put the odds of Illinois winning the B1G anytime soon at about 5%.

Pac 12 not expanding.

OU now saying they'll consider staying if their demands are met, namely Beebe being ousted and regulation on LHN.

Pitt with just an epic, epic collapse against Iowa.

Yay for 3-0! Some UConn fan pushed our mascot down last night and broke his arm. This season has been a lot of fun already, and we have Texas next in what should be an ABC game. Awesome.

BTW, Gage, don't worry, you'll still be the second best program to ISU starting this year.

Sounds like Adam Woodbury to Iowa today.
