    Monday Musings: 11-28 Edition

    So you don't give the Hawkeyes any chance to beat the Clones? I think you said Michigan was the only other non-con opponent that could beat them, unless I misunderstood.

    Season Preview: CF Mailbag

    So did Hoiberg miss on one of these guys ability to be a point guard? McGee? Sledge? Seems odd that with all of the transfers/recruits that he has this year, he seems to have neglected a pretty important position.

    NFL: Ponder named starter

    Sorry, missed the question on favorite team. I am a Packer fan. And I was very critical of McCarthy/Thompson up until last year.....wishing they had signed some free agents, made trades (Marshawn Lynch), etc. But, they have made a believer out of me. Build through the draft, stockpile 2nd...

    NFL: Ponder named starter

    It won't now, because I am guessing few if any teams want to take on that contract. The Vikings are "stuck" with him now. Peterson is pretty much a two down back. For most of his career, they have taken him out on third down. He is a great runner, but he has limitations in terms of...

    NFL: Ponder named starter

    What was the last team to win a Super Bowl with a running back that was top 3 at his position? The Rams --- Marshall Faulk -- in 2000? But they also had the MVP QB on that team. Before that....Terrell Davis with the Broncos (John Elway of course was their QB). If Ponder is a keeper at QB...

    NFL: Ponder named starter

    The point is, the Steelers and Ravens are not paying max dollars for Rice/Mendenhall. I am not saying you don't need a running game (although Packers proved you don't), my point is today's NFL doesn't pay max for a running back....a position where history has proven the shelf life is short...

    NFL: Ponder named starter

    The Vikings are going to suck for awhile -- they have a ton of holes on both sides of the ball. What I would do is trade Peterson, while in rebuilding mode, and stock pile draft picks. You simply don't build a team around a stud running back in today's NFL. The Packers are NFL defending...

    NFL: Ponder named starter

    Ummm....no way. The Packers, Patriots, Chargers, Saints or any other team with a stud QB would not pay him max dollars. They all see that it is a QB league, not a running back league. Name an elite team in today's league that has a feature back that is making top dollar on his team. And, if...

    NFL: Ponder named starter

    Really? How so? You don't think they overpaid for AP? Best teams --- Packers, Patriots, Saints, Steelers, Chargers, Lions, etc. How many are doing it with a feature back that carries the ball 25 times a game? Peterson is not good at picking up blitzes. Is not a good receiver out of the...

    Texas A&M is 99th in total defense

    Aggies offense is too good. They will score 40+. Iowa State hasn't shown the ability to keep up with that.

    MLB: Twins fans 2nd half GM

    Agree with everything you said. Twins should not be in a fire sale. And I think the tigers are the team to beat. The only guys I am suggesting they "sell" are guys like Young, Slowey, Span/Revere. I would not look to make any big acquisition, because even if they do stay in contention, they...

    MLB: Twins fans 2nd half GM

    I would try to keep Cuddyer, Span or Revere and Kubel. I would hope to trade Young for some talent that is close to being major league ready. I really like the versatility of Cuddyer, so I would like to keep him. Think they should be able to keep Kubel for a reasonable price. Agree on...

    MLB: Twins fans 2nd half GM

    I am a seller. Think they dug too deep of a hole. Still need to jump three teams. I think you trade either Span or Revere -- same player, so it doesn't make sense to keep them both. Trade Young -- he probably won't re-sign and has been a bit of a disappointment so acquired. Look to see what...

    MLB: Best Player in MLB

    Josh Hamilton is the best, in my opinion, when playing. Power. Speed. Great arm. Very good outfielder. Hits for average. Too bad the guy messed up early in life. He might have been one of the all time greats.

    Niang commits to ISU!

    Any former ISU player that you would compare his game? Size wise and athletically, he kind of sounds like Cory Johnson.

    I hope Melvin works a LOT on his ballhandling

    Godfrey dismissed from team

    The two coaches who had arguably as much, or more success, relied heavily on transfers and/or JUCO players (Floyd and Eustachy). And do you really want to compare Duke and its recruiting ability to Iowa State?

    Godfrey dismissed from team

    Agree. Don't know the whole story -- including why he was suspended before. But booting him off the team seems a little harsh. Maybe Hoiberg warned him that the next time would be it. And, if that happened, he didn't really leave Fred much of a choice. But kicked off for pot possession, by...

    Godfrey dismissed from team

    Brink of disaster? Let's not overreact. Godfrey was a last minute recruit that Hoiberg got after McDermott's recruiting (which was also late). He was a risk going in, but one Hoiberg had to take because of a lack of numbers. How does this have ANYTHING to do with his getting several...

    Barnes to stay or go?

    I need to see more out of him before considering him a franchise player. Maybe Williams didn't use him right -- but he seemed to be more of a spot up three point shooter this year. Rarely if ever saw him post up. Rarely if ever saw him blow by his man and take it to the hoop strong...
