    Best Brands quote ever

    I laughed at that too. I thought it was cool that he allowed ESPN to interview him during that match as I'm sure it's the last thing he wanted to be doing.

    For the first time since Brand's came---

    I realize there aren't any guarantees but this year Cael had 3 locks for champions - that's 30% of the weights - 2 of those guys are unbelievable talents. Iowa had no margin for error in this tourney and that's a tough spot to be in. We took less scorers to start with than the top 2 teams. We...

    Will anyone be providing match updates tomorrow?

    Exactly right pumpdog. Don't count out the Hawks yet. 6 guys alive on the championship side and 4 are favored with the other two winnable. 2 guys on the bottom side and those are winnable for the forseeable future as well. Let's see how today shakes out. Alot can happen in the next two days.

    Please Read: I am interested in your opinion on this matter

    I like the idea of having a forum for those that donate as long as it stays on track with Hawkeye sports.

    Is it time for Barta to get rid of Brands?

    I'd follow Brands as a fan. Besides who would you hire that's a better teacher, coach, and motivator? Its time to embrace the competition is improving. It's good for the sport.

    Iowa vs. Penn State predictions

    I agree I don't think you are too far off on your prediction. One note. You forgot to add major decision points to PSU's score. So you are predicting a tie if you add that point in for Molinaro. We are going to need to find another bonus point somewhere. I don't want to see another match go...

    Brandon Wegher?

    Sometimes question the don't care response. If you didn't care, then why did you read a post clearly marked Brandon Wegher and then go to the trouble to post that you don't care (as if that adds something). I don't read posts I don't care about simple as that. Apparently the discussion board...

    Is Nebraska about to run our D's nightmare offense?

    Read the article about Nebraska. I think most on the board understand that they aren't currently running the spread. The article indicates that through a promotion of RB coach that they might be implementing a more up tempo style with some short quick passes. The OP is referring to that.

    Boxing vs. UFC, again...

    I don't know that I agree with this statement. Some wrestlers are only good in one area. There have been some VERY good wrestlers that were well rounded MMA fighters too though. I don't know about you but I would be scared to death to stand toe to toe with Brock Lesnar, Randy Couture, Matt...

    Olaseni commits to Iowa

    It's ironic what a difference 3 days can make. :) It'd be interesting to go back and read some of the posts from last week now. At any rate, two solid commitments for Coach Fran.

    Grothus chooses Iowa

    Great Quote. That sent a chill down my spine and a little fire into my gut. :) Coach Brands in your living room saying stuff like that, I can't imagine how we lose ANY recruiting battles.

    CAEL - how much credit does he deserve?

    Maybe that was a bad choice of words. The point I was trying to make is that he may get enough high quality recruits that the development required is minimal. AND I don't think you can go off any model developed before. It wouldn't surprise me to see him get a few highly ranked guys talked...

    Alton rumor from Hawkeyereport

    Really doubt it's true. Besides, they'd have to sit out a year because I'm sure PSU wouldn't release them to Iowa - (Andrew could redshirt) but that would mean that Dylan would lose a year of competition. I can't imagine he'd want that.
