Congrats to Tony! I agree with WT, that last match was a perfect way for Tony to finish his career. Defiantly a heart stopper.

tOSU wil be tough. I can see where Brooks at 84 will have something to prove. IMO he wrestled very well this season and if were him I might feel a bit p.o'd that I didnt get to finish the season. Some might call him a dark horse but I beleive folks better be ready for a contender.

Sparky I don't view your thoughts as negative but simple truth. This team is missing something. I feel that something is "intimidation". They just don't have it any more. It used to be everyone hated Iowa, why? Because It was expected of Iowa to win every match. Look at PSU now, do you not...

This team is ready for the challenge of Nationals. We do hav a few of the usual suspects that I wish would go 100% for the whole 7 min I.e. Evans, Telford, and sometimes DSJ. We are close. If we can make our own breaks, nail down bonus points like we did at the big 10's, and get a little help...

Let's Go Hawks

Here we are again, tourney time. Unlike years gone by hawk fans find themselves hoping for a strong showing rather than talking about how big of a margin we are going to win by. As most fans with common sense know, the hawks are going have to wrestle their best of the year to win The Big Tens. I...

So much talk about how football players want to play in front of big crowds. One would think a kid coming out of high school as a wrestler would want the same thing. Seems like a good recruiting tool. Given our tradition, coaches and fan support why do we seem to miss on recruits

Impressive to say the least. Glad he is a Hawkeye

Dare I say, if not for Dake, I think Taylor would have had a much brighter spot light. This PSU team is potent. I don't think Iowa has the fire power to take the big trophy, but with a little help and luck Iowa could own 2nd with a bright future going into next year

Love the preview. I would like to think that DSJ does better than 3rd but he has to get his offense going. I can see Grothus finishing 5th. Part of me would rather see Sammy at 84. I said it earlier this year I think he has more funk about him and I truly believe he would finish better than EL...

Finally got a chance to watch the Iowa wisky match. I thought we looked good, nothing to write home about. I am concerned where we are at 157. Very little offense and we he is on his offense it appears tentative. The take down by Jordan IMO was due to lack of commitment and hustle on our part...

Any word for sure who is going for the hawks at 25 and 84?

One thing is for sure it has been a crazy season and I don't expect nationals to be any different. Big names will fall and a no name will become a house hold name. The weights I am looking forward to the most are 25,33,57,and hwt. As we know, based on this season each one of these weights...

Very good news indeed, now if our Hawkeye wrestlers will be ready to get it on and win this darn thing

Not bad for a bunch of varmints.

Wow the UNI Dome sold out would be crazy, though I don't think it would sell out. It would how ever put the curtain drop in Ames to shame! And what a job Schwab is doing. I don't think we need to ask what is missing in the Iowa wrestling room anymore....just look to the northwest of Iowa city...

This is an interesting thought as my wife and I were talking about this subject at the dual with PSU. Since then it seems so obvious that our conditioning seems very good but we appear to be very lean in muscle development.

Not only who will make a game winning shot, but who can make a free throw to hold a lead? I usually spend more time on the wrestling board but this I know....until the Hawks can stop having scoring droughts and make more free throws, they will be lucky to finish 5th regular season not to mention...

Oh ya, I was so excited over telfords win I forgot to add
