    *** Official 2025 Chicago Cubs Thread***

    Man, I like the look of Boyd’s delivery. I was wondering why I’d never seen him before and he’s been in the American League until this year. Makes sense since I rarely watch AL games.

    ***2025 MLB Season Thread***

    God I hope so. I know there’s not much love in Iowa for the White Sox, but they’ve always been my AL team. I’ve been to quite a few games there, and they seem to have a good, passionate fan base.

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

    I know we have a way's to go yet, but if things continue as is, this is going to be a very interesting trade deadline for St. Louis. I can't see a scenerio where they'll be buyers, but will they still sell? That was the plan for some of the talent they had (namely, Ryan Helsley). Kind of puts...

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

    Agree with the bolded. What they’re saying in some of the articles and podcasts is that they weren’t able to get nearly as much for Helsley as they wanted. Sounds like they’re hoping he performs well again this season and they can get more for him near the trade deadline.

    I feel like I’ve lost complete faith in Walker and Gorman. I hope they prove me wrong.

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

    Thanks for starting the thread. This season will be interesting. I don’t expect them to sniff the playoffs let alone compete for the division, I just want to see consistent improvement throughout the year. That said, I expect pitching to be pretty atrocious. I mean, for gods sake Miles is still...

    Iowa High School BEDS count 24-25

    That's what I thought at the time. PCM moved to the HOIC my senior year. I missed the SCC. A lot of funny stories from playing away games in that conference happened that a lot of us still talk about today.

    Iowa High School BEDS count 24-25

    PCM came out and said they weren't looking to leave either. That one kind of surprises me. In the mid-2000s when they were looking to leave the SCC they basically begged the Little Hawkeye to take them. Edit: Or so I heard.

    KXNO Sports Fanatics

    Bingo. It's the people in sports talk that have absolutley ruined it for me (cough Condon cough). Betting on sports is fine but good god, it doesn't need to consume every conversation.

    *** Official #3 IOWA STATE vs Colorado Game(Day) Thread ***

    Exactly. And anyone who’s old enough to remember the last go around with CU in the Big 12 should be happy with any win in Boulder, regardless of how it looks.

    Coldest Iowa State Home Football Games

    I’m surprised you’re the first to bring this one up. It wasn’t bitterly cold, but the weather was absolutely miserable. Extremely sparsely attended.

    True, but I have a very hard time thinking of Mizzou as "deserving"

    ***2025 MLB Season Thread***

    Man…I know Reinsdorf is hated in Chicago, but could that guy have picked a worse time to lobby for a new stadium (with public money, obviously)? Not only the same time as the Bears, who are much more popular, but when the White Sox are also god awful? Either the guy is set on moving or he is...

    John Deere as corporate punching bag

    Not at all. I'm saying this quote specifically sounds more like what happened with Maytag retirees than Deere: "True i know a few retired Deere workers, and they were told "put in your 30 years, and never work again." Full family insurance, copays of a dollar or two for the worker on name...
