    World Cup Team Championships

    The weight class will really come down to Burroughs and Dake. Right now it's still obviously Burroughs' but I would never bet against Dake.

    National brackets

    I think the system changed. It used to be that after the conference tournament the the conference was given so many wildcards and the coaches voted them in. Now a committee is in charge of the wildcards. I honestly think Brody's shot at a wildcard would go up if he weren't a Hawkeye. His...

    B1G TOURNAMENT PREVIEW: 125 LBS-157 LBS

    Pin, I always read your links to bhgp... BUT that site confuses the heck out of me. Is there a wrestling message board on there? Or is it just comments about articles?

    Iowa HWT Recruit: Sam Stoll best wrestler out of Minnesota??

    It is unbelievable. I know that you don't have tons of really talented hvys so I'm sure he pinned his fair share of puds, but I'm also sure every pud he wrestled was just trying not to get pinned! When Telford first broke into the line up he was a fun hvy to watch too.

    Early nationals predictions

    Interesting you have four returning champions in the weights above, not only lose, but not make the finals. Most years these picks are crazy, this year these picks seem about right. This years tournament will be decided on the backside more than ever. There's going to be a lot of returning...

    Mich vs Iowa Update?

    Yes, it has.

    stalling

    I just rewatched the worst officiated match I've seen, Grajalas vs. Alton from last weekend. When Grajalas is trying to comeback and Alton refuses to get off the mat, not only does the ref fail to give the one for escape, but he allows Alton to sit there without dinging him for stalling! It...

    Is it Iowa vs PSU(brands vs Cael) or is it IA vs PA????

    Pretty sure the rankings used in this thread are folkstyle, and when you look at the stats of which states produce the most D1 qualifiers, AA's, and champions it's even more startling. Last year one third of the D1 AA's and 4 of the 10 champs wrestled in high school in Pennsylvania or Ohio...

    MSU thoughts

    Ironside said on the radio after the meet that it was the best he'd seen Lofthouse wrestle. Overall my thoughts on the MSU dual is that MSU is awful.

    Updated Rankings 1/2

    The way I see it, Ramos and Graff are fairly equal. They wrestle each other to OT, Ramos wins, but never dominates. Colon has pinned Ramos, and has given Graff beatings that Ramos can't match. Colon is the favorite.

    Updated Rankings 12/24

    I agree. It's crazy to think our best case scenario could end with 9 AA, 2 champions, and a 2nd place team trophy.

    2014 Iowa High School Wrestlers Not Signed

    He's wrestling at Upper Iowa next year. Heard they offered on his visit when he told them he was stopping by Wartburg on the way home, he accepted and went home.

    Leaving before the HWT's

    Until we solve 149, every meet should start at 157 so no one ever feels bad about leaving. Bad weather, late start, terrible performance, boring style by most hawkeye wrestlers, etc... no one should feel bad about leaving early last night either.

    Hawkeyes Get Past Edinboro

    I wouldn't mind if every Iowa dual starts at 197 this year. I can leave/shut off tv/shut off computer etc. and I won't watch Ethan Lofthouse again until BigTens. Kudos to him for showing up at the end of the year, but he his hard to watch during every other part of the season.

    I.C. duals

    UNI or Oregon St. would get me to take a day off work. As far as the Wartburg vs. Grandview, not as fun as you'd think, Wartburg wrestlers don't enroll for classes until the spring semester.

    Iowa High School Football Players Not Signed for 2014

    I always get a chance to see a lot of 4A football. My thoughts: The ICW qb Boland was the best running qb in the conference and the best throwing qb in the conference. Absolute steal for iowa. (BTW, ICW has had unbelievable teams the last few years with nothing to show for it.) Go to a...

    McCauley

    I believe Sueflohn was up around 7-2 when Destin got hurt.

    McCauley

    The most talked about high school wrestler of his time finally gets to Nebraska... and loses his wrestle-off to Sueflon. Sueflon and Green are only juniors, so Destin might not be seeing the lineup anytime soon. He (and me) probably wishes he would've picked a school where there was a gaping...

    Ramos in All-Star dual

    I still remember when pin2win was a new poster with the worst spelling and grammar on the board. 11,000 posts later and he's got an editor to do the dirty work for him. Man, you're moving up in the world. Good work.

    Dan Gable Article

    Seems like there have been a million Gable stories told and written over the years. I have to read them each time, and each time I am still amazed. The man is incredible.
