    Coaching Staff Next Year

    Can we just get someone that has significant experience in getting takedowns and is able to translate it into coaching?

    Guess it depends on your age. They are kids to me.

    Big 10 Session 2 PBP

    Honestly there is a part of me that wants Iowa to finish 7th. That is the part that is disgusted with what TnT have let this program become. I do however want the kids to be rewarded with a trip to nationals. While the results haven’t been what we all wanted, these kids do work hard to earn...

    Big 10 Session 2 PBP

    Block was pissed because he wanted them to throw the brick, but they didn’t want to. They finally decided to throw it after almost a full minute of Block insisting they throw it. He finally headed back to center and they then threw it. Official told them they waited too long to challenge and...

    Iowa @ OSU probables

    I was told probably no Kueter today.

    Rinse and repeat. This opinion is how we got here. Let’s not ignore the erosion of the program over the last several years. Over decades, Iowa could run out their number two and still win these matches. Now half the starting lineup feels like they should be the #2 guys that fill out the room...

    Matchups for Nebraska

    It would be nice if Angel understood the rules let alone knew how to interpret the action. Williams should have got up and centered, but even at that, you could interpret Taylor for stalling for just pushing him out if you want to make a terrible call.

    If a change is needed..

    Cunningham would shock the wrestling world because I don’t think there is anyway that ever happens. Penn State kids can tell you how important he is to what they have built.

    This is 100% true with Spencer. Heard it from him one on one that he has told anyone that has reached out to him that he is training through the 2028 cycle and only after that will he consider coaching.

    Endenne - GONE

    As these things add up, the apathy will grow. Don’t see Friday or the rest of this season doing much to help the direction of the trajectory.

    What’s the over/under win total against PSU Friday??

    Should win 184 and HWT. Only other slight opportunities are 165 and 133 but highly doubtful as Messinbrink and Blaze are both world level wrestlers. The rest are all losses.

    Our program

    As Kingstown said, I’m one of those that hope you are right, but I’ve not seen anything remotely that leads me to believe it is possible. The “Iowa Style” is just that and the style it takes to win with today’s rules keeps pushing us further from the top. Our inability to have multiple attacks...
