    NEWS: Jordan Williams to enter transfer portal after one season at Iowa

    I’d agree with Hawkgma. Both can be true. Coaches make tough decisions based on what’s best for the team/program. We’re not in the room, so who knows what’s been taking place behind the scenes. This is exactly why I avoid criticizing coaches on some aspects. That said, barring injury...

    J Robinson passed away

    JRob used to work the Iowa Great Lakes Wrestling Camp up on the Lake Okoboji back in the 70's, prior to starting the Intensive Camps run in Iowa City. I was a kid and my memory might not be so great but I believe Dave Martin (Algona & Ok.St) ran the camp. His dad, Champ, was the head coach at...

    Telford done

    Thank you, Bobby. It’s tough losing a Hawkeye but he'll no doubt be successful in your future endeavors. Once a Hawk, always a Hawk. New chapter and Greener pastures…

    Carl on PSU, "we follow the rules, there's not a lot of that going on right now"

    “Never thought I would say this, but ....here's wishing success to Oklahoma State and David Taylor.” Alleluia. Clearly, the dilution of talent/depth in Happy Valley can do nothing but help lessen the gap for the programs playing catch up…

    J Robinson passed away

    Loved me some J Robinson. If he was sick, I was not aware. Wrestling lost a great coach with his retirement and a great person with his passing. Rest in Peace JRob.🙏

    Coaching Staff Next Year

    Good gig for Bobby if so…Best of luck to him. No doubt he’ll do well with whatever his future holds. If memory serves, I was thinking Jay Borshel worked in sales for Stryker. Been quite a few years ago tho.

    IF men's BB and women's BB is going to

    Similar boat for me. This was our 2nd year without season tickets. Considering the 90 minute trek one way to Iowa City, juice just didn’t seem worth the squeeze. Most meets are on TV and being an older lifelong fan of the sport, enjoy listening to Grace/Ironside on the radio. If we lived in...

    Ben Kueter

    No doubt a scary moment for the Kueter family. His mom should be proud. I’m thankful it’s behind them. Simple health is something we all seem to take for granted. Thanks for sharing. Go Hawks!

    Conditioning unbelievable!!??

    Lombardi once said "Fatigue makes cowards of us all". This is where “we” find “us”…

    They whined about COVID restrictions and the B1G Ten caved & brought it back. The power of Carl😏

    It’s sad these types of comments are coming from Hawk fans. That, in and of itself, sums up the current state of our program. Block wins the match simply if he’s in shape (and it’s March🤷🏼‍♂️). Sad l but you get only what you earn.

    I agree somewhat😏. Hawks are not wrestling terribly bad but we continue to lose matches due to lack of heart and/or conditioning. Lots of different aspects to coaching. Kids have some responsibility but most of the blame falls on the coaches.

    Block loses on conditioning and…he’d have lost it easily had it gone to overtime. Coaching problem. Sad state of Iowa wresting when we begin wrestling like okie state of old. Sadly, Iowa has earned every bit of these close losses.
