Ruth and Taylor aren't great. They're phenoms. Two of the most exciting wrestlers I've seen, and they both make wrestling look so easy. You just don't see anything like it. Watching Taylor dismantle other wrestlers does make you appreciate Dake even more.

Doesn't mean they weight exactly 275. There are plenty of middle school kids that weigh over 220. And the ones who are wrestling aren't the same ones you'd worry about on the obesity reports.

I love riding Okie St. for their passive stalling style of wrestling so win or lose this dual, I just really hope that we look like the better conditioned and more aggressive team. Against Ohio St. even McD and DSJ looked soaking wet with sweat and gassed. Ramos couldn't find a way to turn a...

Completely agree. Perry wasn't sitting in his dorm thinking about how good a guy Evans was before he read his quotes. But, when you do put your quotes out there your wrestling better back it up. You don't hear quotes like that coming from kelly, moore, or telford right now.

He's not talking about hosting an NCAA D1 national tournament. He's saying that many young Iowa wrestlers are being seen at the younger level national tournaments and therefore aren't being ranked. Pin, I think you are right. For example, the hs teams in Iowa that are consistently ranked...

This is considered a little bit of a down year for Iowa high school wrestling and we still have 4 of the top 50 wrestling teams in the nation. It is interesting to see that list and not have some of our recent powers on it: ICW, WSR, Don Bosco, Denver Tripoli. I think that's a good sign for...

Moore's shot at beating Caldwell... I wouldn't be more surprised if I woke up with my head sewn to the carpet.

... and this match will be huge in determining which team wins the dual.

He's a heck of wrestler, but not in that elite calibur like a Ruth, McD etc. I really think that he'll have a tough time keeping up with Evan's pace in the third period. But as is the case with most OSU matches, it will be determined by how fast a referee is willing to start hitting him with...

At this point the biggest difference between clark next year and mcd's freshmen year is expectations. Mcd as a freshman, everyone knew he was good, but he just kept surpassing expectations. Its fair to say now that it will be impossible for clark to surpass expectations.

That's a heck of a list. For debate purposes I'll say Royce Alger over Perry, only because Perry wasn't your quintessential hawkeye in terms of style. Then also for debate purposes in terms of most entertaining you say Lou Banach. I'll go with my favorite hawkeye to watch Ray Brinzer...

I'm not going to decide what we lost until we see what he does. A few years ago everyone was as excited about Dweiza as we are now about Skon. Last i checked, Ballweg is holding that spot down. For all we know Skon could have been a career backup to Grothus, Kelly, Sorenson, or Marlin.

I think Eric Jeurgens and Randy Lewis have as much of an argument to be on that list as Metcalf.

We're talking about burak, not evans and gg. I agree with what you said about gg and evans though. That ship had already sailed before last night.

Broc Berge may be the only reason that Brands took the red-shirt off Burak. He might just be thinking Burak is our best option for now, and he won't be in the line up in a couple years anyway so i might as well use him. If not, then most optimism I can hope for is that his career path is...

I'd definitely have ironside on my list. I know he doesn't have three championships, but I would argue that Ironside's best years were the most dominating an individual hawkeye has been. Compare him to McD, McD has a better resume but every year there are guys at 125 that make us worry...

ISU was pretty content to base out on the bottom and wrestle with the goal of not getting pinned. That said for us to have any shot at a NC we have to be able to get bonus points and hopefully pins against lesser opponents.

Its on tv, mediacom. Ill have to go to a bar to watch it bc I have Directv.

What are you talking about, did you ever watch him? I think Ramos can get bonus points on him, and hope he does, but to say Meeks stalled his way through an undefeated 4 state championship high school career is wrong. He was an absolute stud, one of the most exciting kids to watch I can...

I hate Kevin Jackson for ruining this dual. I'm setting the line for the Cyclone's team score at 3 and half. I'll take the under.
