    Mike Anderson out at Arkansas. Averaged 21 wins per year for 8 seasons.

    Attention to detail might be a problem (unless he's never looked at his Chiefs bio page).

    2018 St. Louis Cardinals

    Pham hit .226 in 2016 and didn't have a very good spring last year, either (.209 BA). He had shown flashes of promise, but he was not a proven MLB player one year ago, so it wasn't really surprising that he started the season in the minors. Matt Adams was clearly more highly regarded...

    2018 Off Season Thread

    Yeah, I remember Ed Macauley (pretty sure it was him - it's been a few years) opining on an Illini telecast that Efrem Winters had perhaps become too "muscle bound". Efrem had a good career, too, although I'm not sure he lived up to the expectations fans had for him.

    3/8 Games

    Well, Lunardi has Mizzou as an 8 seed right now, so they probably won't make it out of the first weekend with or without MPJ. And you have to wonder if he even makes them better, coming in this late in the season and potentially changing the dynamics of the team.

    3/8 Games

    According to the latest bracketology, the SEC is looking at 8 teams in the NCAA tourney and the Big Ten will probably have 4. This year, the SEC is definitely the better league.

    2018 Off Season Thread

    The rule about transferring to a grad program not offered at your previous school seems to be interpreted very liberally. Mike LaTulip transferred to *Wright State*. What master's program would be offered there that wouldn't be at UI (or other large, comprehensive universities)?

    2018 St. Louis Cardinals

    Luke Weaver had a great *month* last year and didn't finish strong. He may very well be an excellent starter, but he is far from a proven commodity (computer models notwithstanding). It's really a shame that the Cards don't have any connection to a solid starter like Lance Lynn...

    UI prof arrested for SFC incident

    Regardless of how one feels about the Chief, this statement is absurd. Of course, this kind of nonsense is mild by the standards of Everyday Feminism.

    Talen Horton-Tucker commits to Iowa State

    Without digging, I can point to a couple of posts in this thread alone that indicate Prince might not be an unimpeachable source. If you think the guy is a great reporter, make the case for him.

    Talen Horton-Tucker commits to Iowa State

    Doesn't this contradict what O'Brien reported last night, which was consistent with the rumors that were flying yesterday? From my understanding, Prince doesn't have a lot of credibility.

    War Chant has been retired

    That faction is probably much larger than the group which is "offended" by an instrumental song with no lyrics.

    War Chant has been retired

    From the N-G link you provided: "Some anti-Chief activists deride it as a pseudo-Native American chant." So that will probably be the next target, since it surely offends somebody, somewhere. Fighting Illini can't stay, either. That's just as bad as "Warriors". "Hail to the Orange" is...

    2017 St. Louis Cardinals

    Maybe that would be for the best. I understand his desire to play everyday and he is still a good player. But he isn't getting any younger, catching is hard on his body, and Kelly needs to play to stay sharp and develop. When Molina pitches a fit when he isn't in the lineup, he puts himself...
