11-1 with a strong possibility of 12-0
1-Iowa will have a top 10 D
2-Schedule
3- Special Teams/ Bloke from down under!
4. Positions on offense with the main concern have been filled with quality talent
Barring major injuries, 10-2 should be the lowest record that is acceptable.
Iowa has to get at least 1 WR in the porthole,right? I get Kirk is stubborn but he is smart enough to know the WR room isn’t looking good at all. Just hope Football,MB and WB don’t all crap the bed in the porthole this year..
Understand anything is possible but it just doesn’t seem Iowa is taking advantage of the NC game appearance and having CC.
No really good players from the porthole
No top high school recruits.
Highly doubt a top player will come to Iowa to play in the shadow of CC. But will this staff ride the momentum of a NC game, best player in WB and bring in a player that will help Iowa get over that last hurdle, or follow in the footsteps of football and MB and do nothing in the porthole??
Agree 100%. Iowa has a 1-2 year widow having the best player in the game. Lisa Bluder needs to do whatever it takes to bring in the top porthole players. Understand the scholarship availability could be a speed bump. There has to be ways to open up scholarships
State tourny is insane with passionate fans and wrestlers. Smaller schools might only bring 1 or 2 wrestlers to State. Yet they will bring truckloads of fans. Something just have to see for yourselves. I better check with fryiowa to make sure i have been to the State wrestling tournaments in Des...
Thank you! Never once said fire him. Maybe a change of strategy or hitting the porthole. This is the 2nd time “the administrator” made a BS claim i said and couldn’t back it up.
Once again you put words into people’s mouth. Just like with Kaden Proctor. Where in the blue hell did i say fire Tom Brands? I even see a few post that “don’t see anywhere about firing him”
Notice everyone one here has legit responses or takes. You on the other hand go full CNN and make crap...
You can add on ISU 149lb wrestler. Dude was talking some major trash after his Big 12 title win. Said he guaranteed winning the National Championship and not losing again.
Dude get smoked in the 2nd round by a 12 seed. Loses his next match in consolations to get eliminated from the tourny.
Could be a lot worse. The 149lb wrestler from ISU who guaranteed a National Championship and that he wouldn’t lose again.
Dude gets smoked in the 2nd round by a 12 seed. Loses his next match in consolations and gets eliminated from the tourny.
Spencer Lee had been in this position before with Ramos. The same move that Ramos was up 8-0 on Spencer, was up 4-1 tonight on Spencer and what got him pinned. Iowa wrestlers don’t seem to concerned with bonus points. Up by a few and then just wrestle not to lose the rest of the match.
To me it...
not for nothing but the “ the other team just got lucky breaks or we just didn’t have a good shooting night” crap is getting old. Just getting to the tourny isnt a big accomplishment. We as fans should be expecting more.
A chance to clinch a 2 seed in the BIG Ten tourny and Iowa craps the bed...
Yep another disappointing display by Iowa. what’s coming in for help? Another crap recruiting class while other state schools have a lot of talent coming in. Fran,like Kirk, refuses to use the transfer porthole,can’t recruit so what’s to look forward to in the future
Ia needs to just take a chance and get a new coach with fresh blood. A young coach who can also recruit. these 4 star white guys just are not working out.
