At least during football season, we were forced into accepting we were bad.
This wrestling season.. from Nat Duals on.. has just been gut punch after gut punch..

frustrating and Interesting, huh?
That and they are just winning. 5 out of 6 of their guys advance.
Where are all the homers now that want to stick up for this crap wrestling? We have one good wrestler, Ramos. We are NOT aggressive and I've stated that all frickin year. We are not in any position to win a Nat'l championship for a few years. This program is on a downward turn and I hope Brands can bring it back up.
Yeah, no ****, these are all Brands kids.

Which is a product of what I described. Hell, even their "not so good" wrestlers are decking people on the back side...it's embarrassing to host the tournament and be in a pillow fight for 6th. I honestly feel there are problems within the program.
That is the truth. That is exactly how I feel about our program right now. I have said before, I talk to parents who's kids are trying to get offered by us and right now I do not want to talk to them, because I just do not know what to say. Most of our matches today, made it look like we did not even belong on the same mat as some of the other teams.

SO true. It's borderline heartless...like we don't even care anymore-going through the motions.
IDK, but I caught **** for asking if there was a problem with creating a winning environment and to me it seems there is. "Welcome to Iowa, we are so nice you can come in and kick the snot out of us in any sport you choose".
"Our field/court/mat is yours, make yourself at home". "Can I get you one of my beers, while you **** my wife".

OMG you're preaching to the choir! This has been about the most miserable all around sport year as I've seen!! There is no joy in Mudville tonight!!
Well, what is it? ALL sports are down at the same time, yet the fans are showing up and money is flying out the door for upgrades.
Iowa is going to be DAMN lucky to stay in top 5 of this tourny...and not really shocked by McD losing he hasn't looked worth a ding dong all year...
Shut it. I am working on the U giving Jon a subsidy with all the money they are throwing around, because with these results in sports, Jon is going to go broke.

Looks like you fit right in.
Besides was it not Brands who said we were going after the NT this year? Call him a homer then, because he did not even know he hardly even had a top 10 team, much less a #1.
Iowa used to have that, not sure wth Brands is turning them into now, but it is NOT iowa wrestling and I am sick of the crap only Ramos looks to punish his foe.

It really is. Such excitement and anticipation for the Nationals being in Des Moines and its crashing down to a giant thud by Friday evening, not really what Iowa fans had in mind. A few groups I know are unloading their tickets for tonight and finals tomorrow and heading home. Pretty disappointing thats for sure.
