I cannot wait for this one, I think it'll be closer than many think. I'll post my predictions later this week, but we're coming home after a big road win...get excited folks! That place is going to be NUTS!!
I think it might be the fact that he's another year older and still cutting down to 125 AND he was sick earlier in the year. I don't think there's anything to worry about, like you said I don't see any reason why he wouldn't be at the top of the podium in March. He's going to have a couple...

Woodbury needs to get his hands up on defense, if you're 7 ft he needs to play bigger than he has been. He's not taking advantage of his height. With that said, this is all great experience for him. He needs to figure out how to stay out of foul trouble in order to stay on the floor.
I don't think there's any way that would interest Terry. He already makes as much as KJ is making. Call me a homer but I'd give Mark Perry an interview. Right now ISU and the Big 12 do not make this a very sexy job. There's a lot of work to be done to right the ship, I think they'll have to...
Ehh, they have won 3 in a row (Rutgers, Drexel, Penn) but they are far from whipping butt. I would like to see them get back to a top 10 team, but they have a really long way to go.
I was really hoping that Gambrall would push Lofthouse in the room. Is Lofthouse that much better than Gambrall? Don't get me wrong, I can't stand watching Gambrall wrestle, but I was really hoping he'd help improve Lofthouse by making him a little uncomfortable by possibly losing his spot...
You just said you watched ONE dual. Ballweg has wrestled pretty well this season and lost a pretty close match to a really good wrestler in Steiber. Do not panic, Ballweg is going to be an All-American this year

Can't argue too much right now. Iowa needs to get a couple good wins to be looked at more closely. The most interesting thing from this write up is that the writer is an Iowa native...and that's not very interesting
I agree with everything that's been said. This dual won't even be close. KJ was never the right guy for the job after Cael left. I don't see much sign that they're going to turn that program back around anytime soon.
