    Hi There, Just seeing if the two free tickets for tonight are still available. Don't have a unique story or anything---just want to try to make it to a game this year. Thanks!

    Savannah, Georgia

    Heading there next month for 3 or 4 days and need some ideas of things to do. I love history and everyone I've talked to said the city is full of it. Any recommendations of places to eat, areas to stay, possible day trips close by, etc?

    Tom Manning/Kevin Costner

    I was watching Field of Dreams and listening to a Manning postgame interview on the computer last night and couldn't believe how similar their voices are. I had heard Manning speak before and thought his voice sounded familiar.

    Being PJ Fleck on ESPN U

    Anybody else watch the ESPN U series "Being PJ Fleck?" I think the guy is completely over the top and phony, but all of his former coaches/players say his energy and passion is just who he is. Curious to see what other people think who have seen the four part series.

    Kansas FB Recruiting

    I think KU had some success in New Orleans because they hired a high school coach with connections in the area and the fact that LSU had some turmoil last year with the coaching change http://kuathletics.com/coaches.aspx?rc=1220&path=football

    MLB: ***Official 2017 Chicago Cubs Season Thread***

    What does everybody think the market for Arrieta is? He said he wanted more than Strasberg's deal (175m/7yrs---also a Boras client) but I can't imagine any team going more than 5 years with a guy who will be 32 when the season starts next year plus his drop in velocity/effectiveness.

    INSIDER: Three hits on the Dave Dawson news

    It is easy to get upset by these kids that commit and bail, but have you noticed the guys that Campbell gets to come to ISU as a walk-on when they have scholarship offers from other schools? That is impressive to me that a kid will gamble out of state tuition on themselves because they want to...

    MLB: ***Official 2017 Chicago Cubs Season Thread***

    3 lefty starters is not ideal given you cater to right handed bats but the Cubs have used Montgomery in a flex position of spot starts/long relief pretty much since he was acquired. I think he has starter stuff if he can get past the 5th inning consistently. A lot can happen before the trade...

    MLB: ***Official 2017 Chicago Cubs Season Thread***

    The Cubs have a lot of money to spend this offseason >70 million with the contracts of Lackey, Arrieta, Montero (traded), Davis, and Jay expiring. I see them re-signing Davis for just shy of Chapman money (12 million/year) and signing a LOOGY like Tony Watson for the bullpen at 6 million/year...

    Davion Cole-Johnson

    I've heard he is committed to ISU pending the completion of summer courses (ending June 30th). CW, is this the kid in the fold for Prohm and company you mentioned a few weeks back? I assume no information has come out until he finishes his coursework and he is guaranteed to be on board. I'll...

    Kansas City Hotels

    Deciding to head down last minute and need suggestions on hotels. Downtown is sold out and I don't know Kansas City very well at all. What is a safe, decent place with a possible shuttle to Sprint Center? Any help is appreciated.

    Last Chance U - Netflix Documentary

    She allowed her office to be the hangout for all the players to bad mouth the school, coaches, town of Scooba, etc. and then she wasn't taken seriously in an authoritative role when tracking down players to get them to class or do work. I understand if kids need someone to talk to (especially...

    Last Chance U - Netflix Documentary

    This is a great series to watch but I was disappointed with the level of entitlement even for bounce back JuCo guys. They didn't seem to want to work hard or be coachable but each one of them thought they were just buying time until they reached the NFL. The Auburn commit QB was a...

    MLB: ***Official 2016 WORLD SERIES CHAMPION Chicago Cubs Season Thread***

    I'm really struggling to understand this trade. I know the Cubs are all in for this year but gun to my head, I'd rather go after Andrew Miller than Chapman for 3 reasons. 1) He is the ultimate locker room guy----Chapman has a lengthy history with the Cubs and I hate messing with team chemistry...

    I don't second guess Theo very often but this is not a good trade. Gave up wayyyyyyy too much for a guy that is a distraction.
