I know, I know, but seriously… Bring Back Baseball

Just lock this thread down lol. Mr. Apple is a brick wall (a very incorrect brick wall) and you’re all bashing your head into it

You're ******* trolling everyone on this board, right? Or you've been drinking? this does actually read like one of those, "Hey, I'm ******* stupid drunk, I've got a great idea." posts.
Only at Iowa State would fans think you must be drunk or stupid to not want to be one of only five power conference teams without one of the major sports.

Cyclone Orthodoxy, Rule 1:

Thou shalt not question Iowa State’s limitations.
 
If we are going to throw out meaningless personal sports preferences, I'd rather elevate collegiate rugby. At least Iowa State is good at it.
 
JP didn’t get rid of it, but one of the first things he did was drill into everybody’s head that it was silly to want to bring it back.

He didn't have to - everyone except you five fans that insist on bringing back the financial and results disaster of a program already realized that bringing it back would be one of the dumbest ideas ever unless a donor came forward and funded the loser of a program in its entirety. Guess what? No donor ever came forward, proving all but you five fans couldn't care less.
 
I went to school in the 90s and didn’t know we had baseball. No idea where the diamond is/was.
Put it this way. Ames High probably has a better baseball complex than Cap Timm field. The good Jucos in Iowa like Iowa Western, Southeastern and Iowa Central are much better facilities.

Too many bean counters, not enough aspirational dreamers. All we have to do is find a way to absorb like $3 million a year in losses.

Let's start by pulling Milan's scholarship and replacing him with Cade Kelderman from the portal. From there we choose between Toure OR Batemon. And Buchanan OR Pleta. Go to 9 scholarships and a 6 man rotation. That should get us pretty close.

Some men see things as they are and ask why, I dream of things that never were and say why not?

I’ll play for a lot less than those guys are making. Love of the game and what not.

Let's get MBB to a Final four and FB into the CFP and then we can start thinking about bringing back Baseball
 
Yes, ban anybody who wants Iowa State to have baseball. Ban anybody who doesn’t accept as gospel that ISU can’t have nice things.

You think ISU baseball would be nice? It would be the most embarrassing sport we would field. And it wouldn’t be close
