    Number 7 Brewing Company

    Raccoon River beer is disgusting. Court Ave Brewery is much better, and their seasonals are actually something I look forward too. Raccoon River root beer isn't bad, though, and their food is better than Court Ave.

    Hmmmm...

    the chairman of the selection committee said they try to put teams in their natural region, regardless of true seeding. omaha would be better, but louisville is decently close

    Lattimer arrested last night

    I'm pretty sure athletic scholarships are paid through an endowment and not through the general fund. I don't think they are getting their tuition through tax money. Now if you are donating to the endowment then I would agree.

    My thoughts on Athlon picking ISU last in 2011

    A few thoughts from me when I read what nearly everyone is saying on these message boards. Everybody loves CPR and thinks he is going to turn the program around. Yet I struggle to find any cyclone fan that thinks ISU will finish better than 5-7, and those same people say that going 6-6 would be...

    Bowling in the Endzone . . . question about insourcing.

    I don't think they can use their own departments in that way. I'm pretty sure that any construction would need to be bid on since ISU is part of the state government.

    MLB: Fredi Gonzalez Next Cubs Manager?

    what are you talking about? The Hawk just said recently what a great teammate he was. He spoke through his actions, not his words. He was quiet and went about his business. I haven't heard anything about him not getting along with his teammates

    MLB: Fredi Gonzalez Next Cubs Manager?

    He's gotten that in spring training for the past four years. Further, he was in the clubhouse as a player for many years. Granted, players today are much more selfish and arrogant than in his day, but he still knows about egos. Heck, minor league players can be like that, too, and he seems like...

    MLB: Fredi Gonzalez Next Cubs Manager?

    Ryno as a bench or base coach next season won't help him out that much. I think a lot of people don't know that Ryno is the 3rd base coach for the I-cubs. So he already has that experience. I think the managerial job will be filled by whatever kind of team Ricketts wants. If he wants to go...

    Cubs Guzman bad shoulder out for 2010?

    look at the stats, and even with all of the injuries, the cubs have had one of the best pitching staffs in baseball since Rothschild has been with the team. As for the talk about all of the outfielders, i would not expect all of them to break camp in some sort of cubs uniform. we have too many...

    Cubs, Marmol finally agree

    directv. the only time i get comcast+ is when there is a sports game on. the rest of the time, it doesn't come it. but i am not sure if the only programming on comcast+ is sports games. i don't subscribe to it, i know that, at least.
