    *** Official 2025 Chicago Cubs Thread***

    If this bullpen doesn't improve, it needs to cost Hoyer his job / lack of extension. This has been a problem for at least the past 3 seasons. It's ridiculous.

    It's Oscar night!

    My few thoughts: 1. Mikey Madison winning over Demi Moore proves The Substance is more documentary than fiction, a la Ryan Gosling getting nominated for Barbie but not Margot Robbie last year. 2. I LOVED the first half of the Brutalist, but hated the second half. It really fell off the rails...

    Coronavirus Coronavirus: In-Iowa General Discussion (Not Limited)

    Agreed. Which makes this all so frustrating. You can't just shut down part of society and expect the rest to chug along like normal.

    Coronavirus Coronavirus: In-Iowa General Discussion (Not Limited)

    Great. Why is it "most schools" and not "all schools"? And what is that plan? And what if a parent doesn't have enough leave or can't get the leave they need? And what if that leave is an hourly job or otherwise unpaid leave and they rely on each paycheck to pay their bills?

    Coronavirus Coronavirus: In-Iowa General Discussion (Not Limited)

    a lot of people here are very supportive of closing schools, and I get the need for social distancing, but how do we deal with kids whose parents can't work from home? whose parents don't have enough vacation to stay at home? who rely on school lunches as their only true meal of the day? whose...

    OT: 1917

    You're not alone. Maybe it was the expectations I had going in, but I've never quite understood the hype for Dunkirk. I thought it was fine, but not spectacular by any means.

    This is why Prohm must go........

    it really depends on how you want to look at the rankings. if you use 247's Average Rating (per player), then it's only ISU's 5th best class since 2012. Far from best ever.

    He was really good in Game of Thrones, too.

    Marvel Cinematic Universe

    I saw it yesterday, too, and I was also not blown away. Was it good? Yes. Does it deserve to be a 93% on Rotten Tomatoes and thus one of the highest rated MCU movies? No. My largest qualms were (1) the locales used throughout the movie (as far as MCU characters, Spider-Man's setting (New...

    Marvel Cinematic Universe

    I thought this movie was great. I really liked the "green" Nick Fury aspect, particularly. It's not a perfect movie, but I definitely had some goosebumps at certain points. I also can't wait to watch this with my young daughters someday. I think the Thor comparisons are fair. Also like Thor...

    I don't think the King Arthur bomb meant anything. Ritchie is the writer and director of next year's Aladdin live-action movie.

    MONDAY MUSINGS: ISU played right into Hawkeye hands

    In reading the musings, I will strongly disagree that JGJ is our best lineman. It's Knipfel, and I don't think it's particularly close. JGJ got absolutely manhandled this past Saturday. For example, I distinctly recall a delayed blitz up the middle from Niemann where he bull-rushed JGJ and...

    PREDICTIONS: Iowa State at West Virginia

    With a defense that has given up just 20 points in the last 14 quarters, I don't get why everyone is so quick to assume WVU will beat that mark in 4 quarters. Grier can be mistake prone, and I think the D gets 2-3 takeaways giving Kempt & Co. a short field. ISU 30 - WVU 13

    Stupid logo hate thread

    This is infinitely better than the garbage we probably spent tens of thousands on to create.
