Former Journal Star player of the year signs free agent contract with Cincinnati Bengals

Crickets still chirping on the roster page. I can see updates to the player data happening nearly every day, so the page is actively managed. No additions or deletions I can see, though.

Thanks crazzy. Better to be UDF than 7th Rounder, IMO.

Yeah, we're fairly far afield, but I don't want to leave the impression I'm flame thowing on the internet from STL, which I guess is technically true regardless. My extended family, as well as my wife's, remains in Bloomington. Of my three daughters, one has returned to live there. I know the...

There is WAY more to this than a Level 1 Trauma Center. There is also the unavailability of specialists and the low quality of the ones that are present in BloNo.

BloNo is a medical sink hole. Anyone with a serious medical condition is put on a helicopter to somewhere else and that should be unacceptable to civic leaders. A med school at ISU/Brokaw is needed badly by the community.

Or the NCAA could just allow regular folks to pull reports - or maybe just create one themselves? No changes to our roster today. I'm going to keep checking it because I think my only other option is to try and follow a hundred or so Twitter feeds.

Agree completely. But also agree w Reggie that the genie is out of the bottle. I recall how incredibly young and stupid I was at age 18 and I sure wonder how they're processing all of this.

After using google, bing, yahoo, chat gpt, gemini, etc I've come to the conclusion that there is no timely source for when FCS players enter the portal. I believe that ISU's typical practice when one of it's players enters the portal is to remove them from the online roster. Going with this...

I'm sure there are people that are way better at this than me, but I don't see any Redbirds outbound.

I thought you'd be all over this one. :) Spack brought this up when he was interviewed in the 4th quarter. Noted that the "second or third" string kick returner dropped a couple. Didn't mention the bad snaps.

My memory could be faulty, but didn't Spack switch between a three and four man front in the early years based on the personnel he had? I think he likes the three man front but acknowledged you had to have the right guys to do it. Wondering if we're trying to sledge a square peg into a round...

Zambrano was interviewed during the game - funny guy. Spack talked about greater depth "up front". The PBP guys talked about best depth since '20 - and recounted that sad story. I was expecting to see guys playing out of position and blown assignments, but saw very little of that. Spack...

Strongest impressions from my first spring game... 1. We're gonna be fine at QB. 2. We're gonna strong at RB. 3. WR group looks like more of the same - adequate? Rubley has a big arm. 4. OL did okay, which is odd to say with the number of long runs we had. Most of those happened early in the...

My knowledge is ancient - back when Brennan was hired. We talked with him during that search. He was never formally a candidate, so you know how it concluded. Edit: He likes Bloomington....
