Ironside on 1600am

[SPGroth]

Team had a tough week of practice last week. Coach Brands is lightening up this week.

125--McD has a tough first round opponent. Expects him to have a good tournament.
141--Marion has to come to wrestle.
157--Kerr needs to be offensive
197--Beatty--tough 1st round opponent, if gets past him looking for a big tournament from him.
HWT--Looks for Erekson to compete for the title even as a #5 seed.

149 and 174--looking for Metcalf and Borschel to wrestle up to their potential. Looks for Metcalf to let it all hang out and win a title, but anything can happen.
133 and 165--Dennis and Morningstar need to be offensive on the mat.

Speaking of Morningstar, Mark says that Ryan is extremely upbeat and is ready to go.

Looking for large crowds in Omaha, with a lot of Iowa, ISU, and Okie State fans.

He ended his conversation saying that he will be back on Sunday with a National Title.

Mark is one of the best color commentators for any sport. Love that guy

During the wrestling season, I try to make sure that I am working in my office during the time when he is a guest on this show. He tells it like it is and is very knowledgeable about wrestling and the Hawkeyes.

Ironside was absolutely livid with the call at the end of Beatty's first round match on the radio today. I'll agree...I love his passion.
