    *** 2026 Milwaukee Brewers ***

    I have enjoyed our recent successful years, but still am envious that you guys can boast a WS title. Thought last year was gonna be our year until the injury bug hit (while the Dodgers entered the NL finals completely healthy and playing at a HIGH, HIGH level & Ohtani being "other-worldly").

    Just as I lay down an optimistic post, the Crew gives up 4 runs to lose the lead - Uribe blows it and Zerpa fails to put out the fire! :puke:

    *** 2026 Milwaukee Brewers ***

    Right now, the bolded is the one thing that makes me still optimistic about the season. The injuries to key players are right now - in APRIL and NOT in late July or August - which is good (as long as we can get our strong pieces back soon and in prime condition). The Dodgers were good all...

    MBB 2025-26: Where does season rank in ISU history?

    Number 2 for me! Fizer's last year when flaming lunatic Izzo bullied the gutless refs into giving Sparty the victory (and hence depriving us of a Natty), is my number one season (again, not based upon the ending of the year - but what our team accomplished - Big 12 season and tourney champs &...

    Perhaps this means that Joey O will not be a long term solution at SS? It is a head scratcher to me as well because I believe that Jesus Made would be our future at SS. Not sure what is going on but, other than the organization's decision to get rid of Josh Hader mid-season, I have generally...

    Fortunately we won even with his ineptitude on full display!

    No More Sweet 16’s in Chicago

    We lost to Duke 2009-10 season (Chris Colvin fiasco) at the United Center. That same season, Duke beat Butler for the National Championship.

    RECRUITING: Iowa State’s 2027 basketball class: Where things stand now

    I hope so too! If not, I'd be okay with him going to MU or UW - DEFINITELY NOT IOWA!!!

    ***Official St. Louis Cardinals Thread***

    As an "outsider" (Brewers fan) BUT an avid MLB follower/fan - these first 3 games have been an impressive one, offensively, for one of the youngest teams in all of baseball (over 7 runs per game). The pitching will be something to monitor. I remember my Brewers being absolutely destroyed in...

    WBB: 2026 Transfer Portal

    Totally agree. I think the dilemma is - if Bill (and Audi) stays for 1 more year, can he recruit enough good and consistent outside threats to surround AC? Bill and family have done SOOOO much for the ISU community and players (current & former) - so I am really struggling with how I feel about...

    Pancakes or Waffles

    Waffles by a thin margin - mainly because it takes longer for the syrup to make them "soggy."

    SPOKE TOO SOON! Walk - walk - bloop single - grand slam. This will be one of those games we need a whole LOT of offense!!

    No More Sweet 16’s in Chicago

    The loss to Duke was to the eventual National Champion & we had a dysfunctional team with a coach who was still trying to figure out how to lead a P5 team. The loss to Virginia was with Prohm as our coach and the Cavaliers were the HIGHER seed that year. This year we did NOT have our best...

    *** 2026 Milwaukee Brewers ***

    I know it's the White Sox - but love the way we have started these past two games. It looks reminiscent of last year's team! Pitching has been great and our offense has shown power AND the ability to capitalize on "small ball" as well. Hope this continues & that we can be fully healthy for a...
