    working hard to squash the narrative that you dislike Iowa wrestling…

    Portal April 1st

    The nuance in trying to hold Iowa wrestling and your child to the same or similar standards. You made a statement that can easily be checked but cannot be bothered to do so. You must not actually believe in what you say here.

    Your child is not and should not be held to the same standards as Iowa wrestling… and that is okay. Nuance is not your strong suit. I would love for you to be able to come up with a time where I even remotely said he sucked. I have been very complimentary of his ability as a coach. He simply...

    Portal April 1st

    uhh… fans are constantly solicited for $ to fund the program, HWC, etc. Fans are asked to purchase tickets to events - a lot of duals were pretty hard to watch due to lack of aggression and trademark entertaining iowa style action. I don’t recall saying anyone on the team sucks nor have I ever...

    The only thing special about Iowa wrestling anymore is its‘ history and its’ fanbase. We are now almost 30 years removed from Gable and excellence. What program demands more from its’ fanbase than Iowa? What does the fanbase ask in return? Talk about entitlement.

    Senior World Team Trials

    I’m not ragging on the athletes that are competing. My gripes start and end with the guy at the top that is responsible for the program and its results. I don’t care that other inferior programs would love our roster. We are not other programs, we are Iowa and that means something or at least...

    Senior World Team Trials

    Who else on the team can contend for world/olympic medals? You do know you have to make the team to do that, right? So OSU snags an outsider to run their club - which has supposedly benefitted them in a positive way… while HWC kind of demotes their head coach months ago, elevates a guy that has...

    Senior World Team Trials

    The HWC is run by Brands or at least run the way he wants it run. Same with Taylor and the Cowboy club. The difference is the trajectories of their respective programs. One program has a rich talent laden program full of young recruits that will likely develop into contenders on the world...

    How do you screen a wrestler’s intentions and motivation? I’ve criticized Tom plenty but I’ve tried to at least be fair. Portal misses happen everywhere and really aren’t indicative of the program, other than having to rely on them to supplement subpar recruiting. Crookham is high risk due to...

    This exchange happened back in February. We were assured by the Brands fans that Ayala wanting to leave was lies and smears made up by some unhinged Brands haters with an agenda. Seems there are plenty of people here with an agenda.

    Gilman next Cyclone assistant?

    I’ve never claimed to be smart, just smarter than you. If being “informed“ means jock sniffing a coaching staff and defending them at every move then thank the Lord I’m not “informed.” This is another chance for you to set the record straight but you won’t, because you can’t.

    Gilman next Cyclone assistant?

    Oddly enough, the Iowa HC and head assistant could be described the same way. Anyone with half a brain knows there is a reason for the animosity. I’m sure it’s totally normal for most programs to have bad blood between head coaches and star athletes like Metcalf, borschel, st john, Ramos...
