Brujan can’t handle a routine grounder.
The question is will he be more of a 3rd/ emergency big or will he spell Joshua at the 4? Perhaps a bit of both. But in either case, he will be be rarely if not sparingly used this season i would imagine, unless he's one of the top 3 bigs on the roster between Joshua, Mulder, Buchanan and himself.I'll be shocked if Pleta isn't a contributor. Not saying 30 minutes a game, but half that.
Probably not. The point is this is about more than funding a pro stadium or paying players. There is a broader economic threat to the university, Ames, greater DSM area and even the state. I not saying I like it, but there is a bigger issue here than paying players. If ISU’s AD falls into irrelevance there will be a significant impact to all of these parties. This $#!+ isn’t mutually exclusive. If interested parties can’t get behind paying players, hopefully they can get behind protecting ISU and the local economy.In all of the stadium funding measures here in Arlington that I've been through in the past 30 years (Rangers 1, Cowboys, Rangers 2), the people voted on the tax, and the tax was used to fund bonds that were eventually paid back by the pro team. It doesn't sound to me like that's what would be going here.
You might want to vote soon. Day ends at 7:05, and you’re tied with SCNCY.Innos gonna screw this up again. If y’all vote me out, we lost. If you don’t vote me out, we have a small chance.
It is not over yetTypical cubs falling apart in second half
NBC just shown heat index of 110-115 for Eastern Iowa on Monday and Tuesday. That will be fun.
QC Bix 7m race will probably be in rain tomorrow (Sat) morning (10,000+ participants). It peaked in late 90s with over 20,000 runners/walkers.
Brewers lose to the Marlins.
I'll be shocked if Pleta isn't a contributor. Not saying 30 minutes a game, but half that.How do you envision how the rotation works this year? I think the biggest question is at SG with Heise and Nelson. My guess:
PG - Lipsey
SG - Nelson
SF - Milan
PF - Jefferson
C - Buchanon
Plenty of minutes off the bench
Heise
Batemon
Toure
Mulder
I'm bullish on the future of Pleta, but I think his minutes are limited this year. I don't see us going past 9 deep much.
Alisa was at our table last night and they don’t know yet. Sounded like maybe somewhere in the Caribbean or Florida were the most likely.Just wondering if I’ve missed this…any news on a Thanksgiving tournament for the women? I’m thinking of going to Vegas for the men’s tourney so I need to know!
