    Pollard announces his retirement

    Was hoping for a Willis Reed moment, that the best player on the team shows his teammates and coaches he is there for them, and is going to go as long as he can. He chose not too, and has to live with the decision.

    Pollard announces his retirement

    I like many took a 3rd option, gave them my notice a couple of years before I was planning on leaving. I had maxed out my IPERS, so there was little to no point in continuing to teach. No one is saying the Pollard does not have a right to walk away, and retire, I am sure at his salary level is...

    Do we have any idea why S. Tama was playing so many young players this year, coaching change occur or something like that?

    Pollard announces his retirement

    You don't want an honest discussion, you think that everyone that is not kowtowing the corporate line are not true fans. Do I think Pollard was force out, No I do not. But in his statement he said both him and his wife were healthy, so its not health problems for him retiring out of the...

    Pollard announces his retirement

    So you are buying the story he just decided to retire while he is building a project that he worked years on getting the financing and getting through the BOR, which is just completing the first of many buildings? No one is saying he does not have a right to retire when he choses too, but I just...

    Pollard announces his retirement

    Do you know something about why Pollard announced his retirement today, facts not conjecture? If not then it doesn't matter. I just find it funny that a person spends years getting a project up and finally being built, then walks away before it's even close to being completed. I guess I am...

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

    Smart move, it's what the brewers have been doing, lock them up when they are young and stop worrying about it. Glad to see he will be on the Birds on the Bat for many years to come.

    Pollard announces his retirement

    Sure did, and he chose not too, never had surgery that others said he was going to need, and we lost the game. In my line of thinking if you can go out and warm up, then at least give it a try. He chose not too, it's his decision.

    Pollard announces his retirement

    I really hope that is all it is, and that he sails off into retirement and has a long life. I just find it strange that he worked so hard getting Cy Town from the drawing board to the construction phase and then decided it was time to call it a career without seeing the project through. Most...

    Pollard announces his retirement

    Pollard has done a fantastic job as AD at ISU, his coaching hires overall have been very successful more often than not. He got Cy Town off the planning board and its starting to take shape, enlarged JTS and has overseen the growth of ISU athletics to highs its never reached before. But it's...

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

    Walker is having a heck of a year, the series with the Brewers and then the Braves coming is has really exposed the bullpen. You just can't keep bringing in the same guys game after game and expect results. Little jealous of the cream they just keep finding young position players left and...

    ••• 2026 Official Chicago Cubs Thread •••

    They are both 31 years old, reaching the point where they are not going to improve stat wise, they are what they are, giving either one huge dollars and a long term deal will end up biting the cubs in the butt.

    Have You Tried Playing Pickleball - Central Iowa has options!

    The one they put in at Gilbert is used all the time, seems like every time we drive by it for a softball game or run over to the school, someone is out there playing on it. In Bloomfield they converted the racket ball courts at the rec into pickle ball courts so you can play both. The local...

    ***OFFICIAL 2026 WEATHER THREAD***

    Lots of homes to the north and west of the Fairway in N. Ames had flooding last week from the 6 inches of rain we got, my daughter included. But like she said in the 14 years they have lived there, it was the first time it ever happened. Last night another two inches or more of rain, no water...

    ***OFFICIAL 2026 WEATHER THREAD***

    I had well over 2 inches in my gauge in N. Ames. Back yard is soggy as hell, need to mow today so hopefully the sun comes out and dries things out.

    I would think the resignation would have to be in the schools finances when they are published in the paper every month and the vote to accept the resignation.

    Another female teacher incident

    They have the discussion in closed session and then come back out, and on the record have the vote, which has to be part of the public record. But there is no discussion in the open session. So any dirt on the person would have been discussed in the close session, they just do not want that...

    Return from Rehab

    Losing a child is never easy, been through that pain and it never goes away. I lost my brother last year to liver cancer caused by his excessive drinking, miss him every day. Hope you do well, and remember that alcoholism like drug addiction is a challenged faced every day, for the rest of...

    Another female teacher incident

    Most personal decisions would be made in a closed session, which is legal, not sure if they voted on what to do, or he just resigned ahead of it. Freedom of Information is so far behind in cases they will never get caught up, which is just what the right wants, for their decisions to never see...

    That information will never be released to the public, they do this to encourage people to come forward when they see something, but why go after the guy if that is all they found? That letter in his file will be with him for the rest of his career and for many schools would be a deal breaker...
