    MLB: ***2026 Minnesota Twins***

    Really wonder if the Twins over-emphasis on sliders is related to what seems to be an excessive number of arm injuries. He missed the zone on a slider and then his last 3 pitches were not close to the zone.

    MLB: ***2026 Minnesota Twins***

    Actually had hopes for Banda. He looked like a good pick up. Garcia is another example of why swapping one DFA for another DFA waiver pick is not the way to build a bullpen. Past time to either trust the scouting, draft, & development process or blow up the entire process. Matthews has to be a...

    Domonique Orange Commits!

    He brings a skill set that the Vikings have been lacking - the ability to control the middle on run plays. When Flo doesn’t have to be as concerned about being gapped in the middle, he can focus on bringing pressure from multiple positions. No one does it better.

    In the game against us, he was very accurate on passes to the flat and short to medium outs. Didn't show much on longer routes or seam routes, but Heacock tends to take those options away. He might be a better fit in Roehl's offense than he was in Gundy's.

    Iowa Western DE Blake Hawkins commits to Iowa State

    There are a lot of roles to fill and all are valuable. A combination of every down guys, fresh rotation depth, and a pin your ears back 3rd and long package.

    Wazzu DE Isaac "Bobby" Terrell commits to Iowa State

    Have we ever had a season with multiple sacks in every game? The current sack count last season from incoming portal guys is: DL - 19 1/2 LB - 9 1/2 BD - 2 Heacock did wonders with what he had to work with on defense. Jimmy is making sure that his guys will have more to work with.

    I'm embarrassed to admit that I clicked the "show more" on the above post.

    Matt Campbell future return to Ames

    Any former coach should get a warm welcome if he is invited back to be honored for his time at Iowa State. This is based on the assumption that the former coach is willing to sincerely thank the school and fans for the opportunity to coach here and for what that did to help his career. If he...

    You need all of this, but you still have to instill proper technique. Bill Callahan was terrible as a head coach, but he knows how to coach OL. He teaches that often the difference between a winning play and a poor play comes down to a 1- inch difference in hand or foot placement.

    Need to have at least two capable options at every position.

    Makes sense, but I also wonder if he didn't want other coaches to know how good Manske really was. He would have either had a better chance to keep him at ISU or be able to get him cheaper on the open market at PSU. Don't know for sure, but I'm not convinced that he was doing everything that...

    So we can't question Pollard on here anymore?

    Need more information to answer that.... Is he a white man? Does he have the longest arms ever?

    I could see it going higher for one reason. Campbell has shown that he will try to sell players on taking the "home team discount" over what they might be worth on the open market. He will try to get a former Cyclone with comparable talent cheaper that what he has to pay on the open market.

    Or maybe he's just a better coach.

    Can't wait until they see a pitch play on 2nd and goal from the 1 in the rain.

    NFL: ***2026 NFL Season***

    He wouldn't last long at Domino's. He would bring the pizza to the door and never let go of it.

    It was the amount claimed over a 4 year period. The average would be 520,000 just in NIL plus another 100,000+ in scholarship value. If he were middle or upper tier, the claim would have been over 1/2 million rather than hundreds of thousands. Sound like lower tier to me.

    What doesn't seem clear is if the number thrown out is supposedly just NIL or also includes the value of the scholarship over 4+ years. Even if it is assumed to be all NIL, it would be a lower tier guy when you have $13M to shell out on the roster.

    Assistant Coaches

    I would agree, but CJR did include his name in the discussion of coaches that had an impact on him. It was likely either a teaser or a mis-speak, but the same sentence included his name as one of two coaches who would be joining him.

    Assistant Coaches

    The side interview clip in the main thread about the press conference has some hints about a couple of guys who might be joining the staff. One didn't include a name, but sounded like a done deal. A defensive backs coach who influenced CJR when he was a GA at Florida Atlantic. The other hinted...
