All of those guys are at the same weight during olympic years. the weight under it is around 145 and above it is like 185 so i don't think those would be options for those guys. Possibly Taylor i suppose since he has a long frame maybe he could focus on filling out to 185 but i don't see it. Or...

i knew he was coming to Iowa but I had no idea of some of the success he's had until recently when reading about the pin records. 2 wins against Coon with one being a pin??? that alone gets me so damn excited for his career to start. plus it works perfect. One year to RS under Telford then he's...

When you wrestle thorn you don't have a choice. He gets after you.

All sessions on ESPNU and ESPN3! How awesome is that. Good article about increased interest from ESPN. Great news for the sport. ESPN Networks to broadcast every match of 2014 NCAA Division I Championships

So it’s been a little dead on here so I thought I’d start a discussion. Here are my early picks for NCAA finalist and champs. 125 Megaludis over Garrett. I know Garrett has beaten Megaludis a couple times this year. But I just love the way NM wrestles. He’s such an attacker. I think he...

with some good results at big 10s, we could have all 10 guys seeded going into nationals. that'd be a good start.

Wrestling gets 10x the coverage it did just 6-7 years ago. IPTV has regressed but ESPN, BIG ten network, flo, internet sites, etc have grown leaps and bounds.

I could be wrong but i swear I heard Ironside say that they are going to wrestle next year. At UNI I think. That will be awesome.

I agree a lot with what Blue says. I think Brands receives too much of the blame (not that he doesn't deserve some because he is the head coach after all) when the wrestlers "aren't aggressive" like we'd hope or don't wrestle a typical Iowa style I don't think that all falls back on Brands...

this site. it's awesome NWCA Scorebook

16 of his 20 wins have been bonus points. The 4 times he hasn't have been against 2 top 10 opponents, Alan waters, and a 11-5 victory vs Purdue.

He controlled the match. 6-2 in a college match isn't real close. Maybe dominating wasn't the right word but it was a million times closer to dominating than 'pathetic' as the other poster insinuated.

yeah it was a pretty wild day. Very happy for UNI, those guys wrestle their assess off. It's been a wildly unpredictable season so far. Hard to even argue any team could beat PSU at this point w/ as consistent as they have been this year. Hopefully they start suffering a few more upsets.

The officiating was terrible. Both he and Terry (more so Terry I thought) lost their minds on several occasions. But it was just their normal antics yelling, running, jumping, etc.

Gilman was solid but far from spectacular. I didn't think it was one of his better performances. I still see him as being a little limited offensively (although he can really horse that single leg in when he's extended) but he rides well, gets out and is tough as hell to score on. And he's just...
