    *** Official 2025 Chicago Cubs Thread***

    Hodge was nasty tonight. Might be the most entertaining back to back regular season games I’ve seen.

    Had 2-3 epic once per year crazy games in the first 25 this year. Fun team to watch.

    Not sure I recall an offense this hot. Maybe 15-18 but that feels so long ago after the last few years.

    Williams & Blum: Two big recruiting wins for Iowa State, sensitive Matt Rhule

    If the Big 10 wants to talk **** about Iowa State and the Big 12, have at it. If Nebraska wants to talk **** about Iowa State and the Big 12, lol. Is there more entitled fan base that’s produced fewer results over the past quarter century than Nebraska??

    Odd schedule that we’ve played 3 series with the Dodgers, 2 series with the Padres, and two series against Arizona while playing zero games against the NL Central…

    J.T. Rock has entered the Transfer Portal

    God for JT. I imagine he’ll have a lot of Cyclones rooting for him.

    Big play by Nico and Wicks gets out of a tough jam. Let’s see if the bats can win another one.

    Need to build a nice lead while the offense is hot. Averaging almost 0.5 runs per game more than anyone else in baseball. The schedule in May is paper soft compared to April so it’s possible the division can be won with a strong May.

    Survivor 48

    Agree. And a bit odd since there isn’t backstab after backstab and blindside after blindside. A lot of likeable players holding together which is nice to see after dozens of seasons where everyone thinks they have to make big moves each tribal. If they stick together, the final 5-6 will be...

    Being 12-8 with 11 games against the Padres and Dodgers is a pretty damn awesome start to the year.

    Williams & Blum: Recapping a crazy 10 days

    I don’t think you can look at it so narrowly like “only 10% of students go to basketball games”. Iowa State athletics, and investing in them, brings overall more students and revenue to Iowa State. When Iowa State does well athletically, enrollment increases. So people that don’t care about...

    Williams & Blum: Recapping a crazy 10 days

    The idea that the university cannot spend any money on athletics and that the AD must be 100% self sufficient is beyond stupid. It’s the university’s best marketing campaign and publicity driver and yet it cannot invest in athletics to grow. But am for some reason it can spend whatever it wants...

    Williams & Blum: Recapping a crazy 10 days

    Go to Ames on a football weekend (hotels are often full) or basketball game (hard to find a restaurant to eat at prior to the game because they are so busy and bars are busier) and you’ll see the financial impact is real. Take football and basketball out of Ames and it’s another dying rural...
