I am with Quinn, after 40 years of season tix I am out. I quit 2 years ago. Yea, I will always love the Redbirds but it’s no longer anything you can invest time, money, or emotion in.
Pedon has no chance. He didn’t bring 5 studs with him so he is toast. ISU will never be able to pay, our...
Long way from being good. I am blind in one eye and can’t see out of the other, but I can’t see when this program ever returns as once you are on the bottom, with transfers etc, you can not dig out.
Some moments of good effort over the last couple weeks, but a clear bottom 3 team in MVC...
Sounds like I didn’t get my point through to you all. The point is…. there is no such thing as building a mid major program with freshman and hoping that 4-5 years from now they develop into conference champs. Recruiting freshman is a lost cause.
Wake up, good players aren’t staying here more...
Personally, I agree 2 years is historically unreasonable but the way that the NCAA is structured, if he isn’t a top 3 MVC team in the first 2 years, the probably that it will happen after that is much lower.
For years, I have argued ISU should never accept the mid major tag. Fact is, the NCAA has structured the system such that there are only Power 5s and low majors. There are no such thing as mid-majors now that the portal is in. Historical Mid majors are now the storage room for the Power 5...
He is our guy, nothing else matters.
Hopefully with a couple key additions, this team can be competitive right away. I think it can.
A little luck wouldn’t hurt along the way as well.
If the Redbirds are averaging 3500 fans per game, which it may be closer to 3000, getting 2000 more fans in the house could generate some much needed money. If we got 2000 more fans in the house for the normal 13 home games, at an average of $20 per ticket, that equals $520k annually.
We don’t...
All that is left…. 10 Posters - who still watch the birds - fight amongst ourselves about how things could change but won’t. Maybe this year we win on Thursday…and if not, I think there is only 12 years left on the contract instead of 13 🤔
Do the band kids get paid for playing their music and entertaining the crowd?
Do women get paid less because their sports generate less money?
I think most non P5 schools will voluntarily form their own division as they simply can’t complete. They can’t bankrupt their schools.
Having a...
The “haves” will take from the “have nots”. It will be almost impossible to change from a bottom feeder unless you pay a lot for a new coach and he brings 6-7 players with him.
No good player will come to ISU to play for a 10th place doormat.
We are dead last. These players can be a lot better than dead last. Dan can recruit but can’t coach. It’s ashame that after 9 years we are here.
I like Dan the person, but I just wish he could coach.
