    ****2024 St Louis Battle Hawks Season Thread****

    What kind of money are UFL & CFL players paid? The QB for St.Louis has some NFL and D1 name recognition so he may bring some TV eyeballs, do those types get paid substantially more?

    ISU baseball team

    How are the Club teams funded? Since the school is allowing the Club team to use ISU affiliation how far does that go? Is the Athletic Dept. Involved? If it is not, is it part of the intramural system?

    Omaha enters the transfer portal (confirmed)

    Wake Forest Head Coach got his coaching start at SWCC in Creston, Iowa. Has a very close relationship with the coaches and staff that are part of the community. Would easily believe those ties along with other state of Iowa connections was the foundation for Omaha’s recruitment.

    So what’s up with UNI?

    Good honest assessment. This is a prime example of how college sports are changing at a supersonic speed as all the players that aren’t headed to the NBA realize that their only chance to cash in is to jump schools to the highest bidder while they can (ie. Tyrese Hunter). Spot on about the MVC...

    Time for a Real Discussion About Caitlin Clark

    It’s been interesting to watch the state of Iowa print and tv Media feeding frenzy pushing the CC saga as it continues to roll on. She is a very good player and has no control of the public adulation but I wonder how long this will last until it fizzles out. I was thinking of starting a contest...

    Harbor Freight

    Rating Harbor Freight as comparable in quality to Craftsman…..I’ll be courteous and not pile on. BTW, I assume their tools are made in Cambodia or a similar spot in the globe. Any info on where they source their inventory or the history of the company?

    Time for a Real Discussion About Caitlin Clark

    She’s a great college player but I doubt it translates to the WNBA due to the elite athletes that will be assigned to guard her. Her advisors got thru to her to cut out the whining and that was greatly reduced which I give her credit, her ability to produce all season with all the fan and media...

    Time for a Real Discussion About Caitlin Clark

    The media interest is in Clark not Iowa Women’s Basketball. As soon as her season is done the media will focus on what’s next for her which might be the Olympics, WNBA, ICE cubes dreams, etc. I’ve listened to how Soccer will be the next big thing in the US sports arena and it hasn’t happened...

    big news from our friends at runza

    How do you pronounce Kevin’s last name? Is this an Artificial Intelligence incident or are there actually a family tree of Sjuts? It’s got to be an abbreviated form of some Viking line of killers.
