    WOW - just wow

    So much for no bad losses. So much for bringing the fans and students back. So much for a promising season. So much for taking advantage of all the top teams losing and improving your position. So much for bouncing back and playing tough. This team has problems top to bottom and...

    The current state of IA wrestling

    This team is soft. That's all there is to it. Don't tell me I don't know anything about IA wrestling either. I grew up in IC and have been going to meets for 35 years. This is one of the, if not THE, most depressing year i've had watching the Hawks. No BT champs. No offense - the entire...

    PSU singlets

    I know this is a little off-topic and petty but my god... those PSU singlets are horrific... how have they continued to go with those things? They have a giant white "belt" across the waist. It makes them look like the hick cousin that Randy Quaid plays in Christmas Vacation. It's funny to...

    BT finals predictions

    Before I start, I think the Hawks need to take 4 of 6 to win this thing, and I feel like Telford and McD are critical since head to head but we'll see. McD versus Sanders - easy win McD... he owns this kid Ramos versus Stieber - Stieber is just a beast; don't like how Tony looked last time...

    Breaking down the Top 4 Teams for Nationals

    Here is how I break down the top 4 teams for Nationals in relation to EACH OTHER. Obviously there are tons of other factors, teams, etc... but when you figure that 4 teams have a legit shot to win the whole thing it's interesting to look at it this way and it shows you how Iowa has been...

    Big Ten Seedings

    The Hawks had better bring it at the BT tourney this year because right now they aren't doing anything for their seeding. Neither Ramos or Marion figured they'd show up tonight. Ramos got destroyed. Now Kelly is trying not to get pinned. McD looked bad as well. Not sure why the Hawks...

    NEB thread

    Boy, here we go. Gambrall struggling again against a not good unranked NEB wrestler that he should dominate. When will we realize the 197 thing isn't working? Ironside not happy at all. This is going to be a dogfight tonight.

    IA-OkSt Final Thoughts

    Allright, lets do it. Hopefully others will chime in too. Bear with me... just got home from Carver. Very hoarse and still bummed out big time. 125 - McD is starting to roll. Looking dominant and looking fired up. This is the way he gets this time of year and I think he's pretty much...

    BTN2go.com store

    Have any of you checked this out (I go there through the app on my iPad)? The store is phenomenal - a HUGE selection of sweet Iowa gear.

    Cayle Byers

    Man did he miss out. Could have filled the 197 spot admirably for the #1 ranked team and been dishing it on a weekly basis. Instead, he is learning how to wrestle timidly at the edge of the mat and can't even secure his spot because Rosholt is as good or better. Oh well... GO HAWKS

    Midlands Finals

    McD - way to go; really stepping up pinning a tough opponent... looking like he's got things where he wants them now Ramos - too sluggish; wrestled ok, but really is a superior wrestler to the VaTech guy; first time i've seen Ramos look only so-so this year. Reminded me of last-year's...

    JVB < STANZI

    Can we please stop saying JVB will be way better than Stanzi? Never understood where that came from. Yeah, he may have the physical tools but he doesn't appear to have it where it's most important - upstairs. He's seriously rattled right now by a not-very-good BXII team. Stanzi was solid and...

    Melvin Gordon

    What a waste... barring huge injuries, the guy is going to spend most of his career cleaning up the garbage against UNLV or riding pine. He's stuck behind Ball and White for all but his Senior year. Should have come to Iowa City dude.

    CAEL - how much credit does he deserve?

    Look, we all know he sucks as a coach. We know he's a great recruiter. We've all seen him just sit like a lump on the sideline, doing NO coaching. I've never been impressed by him. As I sit here the day after, i'm thinking about their team and what he walked into. It was a bit of a perfect...

    DUKE - sociology experiment

    Serious question... It seems like Duke is continually full of d-bag players that I can't stand even looking at... watching them whine on screen, complain about every call and flop just drives me insane. Today, for the first time I listed them and noted something... They are all white...

    IOWA NCAA Wrestling Breakdown by Weight

    Just because i'm home at lunch at bored... going to writeup each weight and add PSU notes. I don't think OSU has the depth/desire to compete for the championship but you never know. I think PSU is the other heavy in the tourney. 125 - McD is rolling right now and has figured out Precin...

    Brands - best coach in country

    In any sport. And it's not close. He's pushing to win his 4th title in a row. He just won his 4th undefeated Big Ten season in a row. His teams haven't lost in 74 matches. His team was ranked around #12 this year and expected to do nothing. I doubt many would say this team isn't a huge...

    Gatens

    Don't want to rip on Matt Gatens because i think he's a good player but looking at him in his 3rd year as a player that was a 4* (iirc) i just can't help but be disappointed in many aspects of his game... the most disappointing of which is his hustle and drive. -He NEVER follows his shot. He...
