How about you get off my lawn. I don't think 5 year olds had credit cards in 1998.

Okay, I signed up. How much do you need per month to get rid of the page reloads and Walmart pop up ads?
I created a thread about this last May. Here it is. thanks for considering.

Just signed up, it's not much, but better than nothing I suppose.
I just hope my $ goes towards the traitor, Adam Gray's, toilet paper fund. Lord knows he has explosive diarrhea at least once per day... Poor fella.

I did my part today.
Thanks for all you do to keep this site up and running efficiently as possible for free.

Thanks for signing up and supporting CF! Your generosity has allowed me to go from single ply toilet paper to Charmin Ultra Soft.
I can't thank you enough!
Ultra Soft always clogs my toilet.
Signed,

I thought it was Chris that took the laxitives.
Whoops didn’t read far enough down.
Rumor has it that patreons get some limited ban hammer protection. Just sayin'.
I just got a Chris Williams autographed Busch light can. 1 of 1
Maybe it's just me, but it seems like a huge waste of money to send Stansbury and even Chris Williams to games in person.
What's the benefit? We get the same quotes as every other news source because they're coming from the same presser.
I don't think Jared or Chris being there really adds anything, although I'm sure it's nice for them.

Then get off CF and pay for the newspaper.
Was unaware there so many cheapskates on here.
The vast majority of it.
I don't think that Chris and Jared are sitting with the players after the game specifically for CF if that's what you're asking. Even if they were, I don't think there's much benefit to any of it.
We all watched the game. Hearing their take or insight on it probably offers mostly nothing that hasn't been said a million times in the game thread or post game thread.
It's a waste of resources and if I was running the site I would get rid of it.
When it's all said and done, Chris, Jared and all the other "journalists" are just like us.
I saw the post on this from Chris and meant to give before but didn't get around to it.
When I saw that they used the $$ to send Jared to the Missouri game, it made me re-think it.
I don't want my money supporting this in any way:
"Weiler-Babb cannot wait to change mentalities until he thinks his team needs it because the reality of the matter is they need it the second the ball is thrown in the air."
Wow, you really got me on that one. Did you brainstorm it with your Hawkeye Lounge friends before or come up with it on your own?
You simply couldn't be more wrong here.
If we all just covered games from our living rooms, we would never be around the program. When you're never around the program, you don't develop sources. When you don't develop sources, you can't give quality information to your audience.
And those press conferences you're talking about ... who do you expect to ask the questions? In addition to all of that, there is so much more that goes on before, during and after events that allows us to serve our audience better when it comes to gaining perspective, which is often when casual fans don't get the luxury of having due to the lack of access. The media gets that access, and it's our job to relay it to the fans.
Damn it, this is a very well thought out response that I'm disappointed he won't see.
I can honestly say that I maybe 5-10 percent of the information I have on Iowa State from press conferences. No hyperbole at all. The longer I've been around, the less valuable press conferences have become. You get info when games aren't going on. That's how you best serve your audience, by constantly being on call. Press conferences are more of a formality than anything anymore.
