    About time for this...

    ILCC, only the 85 season which was my sophomore year. Coaches talked me into spring ball and felt great being back on the field and with guys I’d competed against in HS. Played mostly special teams but did have 1 INT. Iowa Central beat us in FD.

    About time for this...

    Son of a coach. So, began wrestling at a young age. First with older sisters and then my brother who is two years older. Went the the state tournament yearly when it was held at The Barn, again beginning at a very young age. It was considered our “family vacation”. Never been since it was...

    157 next year

    I carry zero weight in these parts and voted Tom should remain (until contract ends) but I’m with Tarp on all points. The coaches have a better idea what’s taking place “off the mat” and Williams conditioning clearly suffered during the season but the coaches are ultimately responsible. Other...

    Spencer 2026 World Team

    I agree with this, with hopes Spencer/coaches can find the key to improved conditioning. Whatever we’ve been doing over the years is proof enough, it ain’t working and needs tweaking. Please stack the deck in our favor, as it’s too painful seeing Iowa wrestlers lose matches to conditioning...

    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!
