Sadly I don’t believe they will be wrestling in front of 15 thousand people in Carver in the foreseeable future. Still more fans than almost every school out there but IMO it’s going to probably go down again next year.
Doesn’t help when they jack the prices up 30% every year
I think alot of people sober up the next morning and hope like hell their seeds didn't germinate.
So the athletic director see’s ticket sales going down, and thinks I know how to sell more tickets, jack the price up! Or just thinks I’ll make up the revenue difference by soaking the loyal fans still showing up. Either way sucks.
Increased prices and stick us with worse days of the week and worse times.
National duals doesn't make sense for Iowa as long as the seeding criteria doesn't better reward strength of schedule. We already have the toughest schedule.

You make it seem like Iowa is the only team wrestling at national duals that gets punished seeding wise. Regardless, backing out of an awesome events like this because of possibly being scared it might hurt a wrestlers seed is the biggest chicken **** excuse possible and one of the big reasons this sport is losing entertainment value at an alarming rate.
I give major props to DT last year after Locket beat Mikey at duals, he could’ve sat him out of the meet later in the year to protect his seed but sent him out to wrestle anyways. After Lockets horrible showing at nationals it’ll be interesting to see if DT keeps that mindset of not protecting a seed; I sure as hell hope he keeps sending guys out to wrestle tough matches cause it’s a breath of fresh air seeing a coach not pu$$yfoot around tough matchups.
Calm your panties down. I said that maybe one reason why Iowa or other teams don't go there. I used Iowa as an example, but there are several teams out there that wrestle nobody all year and get great seeds. So it wouldn't be surprising that several of those teams want to avoid this tournament. I wish every team competed in it.
I wouldn't have any idea if Iowa is or isn't going, and if they don't the reason could be due to finals or any other factors. I just threw out one reason didn't know I needed to go into detail with every particular reason and every team. Psycho
You didn’t say one reason they might not go, you said “it doesn’t make sense for Iowa” you were making a pu$$y excuse for them not to attend. In the meantime I’ll have your mom unbunch my panties.
I'm not sure what the percentage is but there has been a steady increase over the past couple years.
At least for season ticket holders.
Toss in the cost of travel and food, along with Friday meets.
So yes, I would say cost does factor in.
It’s not the root cause, but sure doesn’t do anything positive to encourage more ticket purchases when you combine it with the deeper problems.
Tom seemed pretty psyched up about this tournament and the cash you can earn, so I’m sure avoiding his guys having tough matches has nothing to do with it. Probably our administration stepping in if it’s at finals time. I’m disappointed it’s not earlier like last year. Hard to get good match ups with teams and individuals that early.
ISU board is celebrating monster portal additions today.
Ayden Smith, who finished 8th in the B1G and went 0-2 at the NCAAs.
Rin Sakamoto, who has a career 0-3 record. Majored by Ayala two years ago, and last season went winless against UNI and IUE's backups.
Huge gets for a fan base that believes they're a wrestling "blue blood."

Back to recruiting, any news on Zepeda?
She doesn't like little b*tches. Maybe your boyfriend can find a clothespin and touch you down there for the first time in years.
A clothespin?? That sounds quite specific and arbitrary at the same time. Personal experience?
I Googled what's the best way to get a boyfriend to touch tittymans panties. Google said tittyman was a ****** bi*tch, and her only option was to buy him a clothespin to block the smell.A clothespin?? That sounds quite specific and arbitrary at the same time. Personal experience?
I than dove further into AI and discovered tittyman is broke. Google said he's **** out of luck, and will forever be an angry elf.
Ya idk the actual percentage, but they’ve gone up a lot in a very short amount of time. You’re just doing your usual dumbass schtick. I dropped my tix because i didn’t feel like paying that much for a few good home duals, id imagine im not the only one.
Now carry on being a dick like always
Not gana lie you had me laughing with the first part but then you lost me with the clothespin stuff.
No. What I said was Snyder had plateaued at tOSU, and Cunningham has been with Cael his entire coaching career, or nearly all of it. I was responding to someone who called them front-running cowards. They also said Zain and Varner, which is absolutely laughable too.
I'm definitely an Iowa over PSU guy, but the hypocrisy is amazing. Spencer, M*, Telford, Warner, DeSanto, Dennis, Alger, etc. all trained at Iowa (HWC). They didn't go anywhere else to train or compete. Nobody on here is calling them front-running cowards.
If Snyder going to the NLWC and getting better makes him a front-running coward, then the definition of that needs changed.
I couldn't care less about Cael or PSU. I'm a glutton for punishment...MU fan. I also don't have a deep-rooted hatred for him, like most Iowa fans. He's really good at coaching wrestling. That's undeniable.
You're absolutely right, and I don't want to. However, it's pretty obvious I was right about Cael based on reading comments in this forum over the years.
It was deja vu for us old-timers;
Ed Banach/Mark Schultz
Terry Brands/Kendall Cross
McIlravy/Marianetti
Metcalf/Caldwell
But I think it hurt even more than they did. I was there live for most of those, and they were heartbreaking.
Some of them get special exemptions for sudden learning disabilities by court order to remain eligible.
Don’t interrupt the conversation with portal talk on a portal thread. But seriously, I’m wondering what’s taking him so long. Does he have a bidding war going. If he was hell bent to wrestle with his brother it should have been a done deal a while ago.
Could be. Or, just maybe, DT saw Lockett vs Caliendo as maximizing OkSt's chance to flip the NDI dual loss.
He may be hell bent on negotiating for the heaviest bag offer.
What are season tickets now? What were they 3 years ago? Now **** off dumbass
Tough break. Good luck to him.
Nope, he was only going to Iowa for money. He's actually paying to go to Michigan.
Don’t forget, it also would have cost Iowa all of its 2027 and 2028 recruits.Tough break. Good luck to him.

It’s been said that he was going to Michigan ever since he hit the portal. Maybe was just trying to make it interesting; but I’m fine with this. Maybe Sergio L. is going down to 141 to make room or he he’s battling it out with Cam C. at 157.
Excited to see our future commits battle against him. Israel Borge is gooooooood
Our next stop was the 7/11 so cut us some slack.
Catrabone looked big last year I could see him going 165It’s been said that he was going to Michigan ever since he hit the portal. Maybe was just trying to make it interesting; but I’m fine with this. Maybe Sergio L. is going down to 141 to make room or he he’s battling it out with Cam C. at 157.
