    One would naturally come to that conclusion.

    Disappointing really but we weren't going to be attracting the names we're throwing out there as the 3rd assistant. To get a Yianni or Nolf it would have to be first seat, but also I think an issue is that the Brands aren't comfortable going outside of their sphere of influence. An outside voice...

    Medal round thread

    What Gabe did this year should be cheered from the rafters. More surprising and impressive than PK's run to the podium last year. (And god I love PK, just an absolute warrior again this year). Wait until Gabe's wrestling his natural weight next year. And way to go out on high note for Drake...

    The Brands have silenced the haters

    Yes that whole quote where I said "other than talent" because I'm just a layman and am not going to be a simpleton and put it explicitly on "recruiting". Otherwise there would be no point to having mat coaches and we'd just all hand the awards out to the top 8 pound 4 pound every year. It...

    The Brands have silenced the haters

    I appreciate the intent but watching the top wrestlers that are wrestling for championships FAR outpaced anything we've ever had in a long time. I mean just watching Jax Forrest's scrambling acumen compared to Spencer Lee is like witnessing flight for the first time in 1903. That dude is hitting...

    Me+Iowa and literally my team since my parents were taking me to meets since as child since 1986 > What? You being a what? An Internet user that on3.com/Iowa is literally 87 percent of your identity?

    Day 2 Session 4 Thread

    Really I just try to speak in way that the Brands sycophants won't try to light me on fire with their torches. Really everyone that I respect here as posters have come to some rational conclusion that something needs to change but Corby, MSU, et. al, roam and its a stink you cant get off yorself...

    Day 2 Session 4 Thread

    We all have an expiration date. The key is getting out to enjoy some semblance of life before it swallows us whole. Maybe it's the Brands time to enjoy the fruits and fun of wrestling in a more positive and fun light. It's such a demanding sport for even the best of men.

    Day 2 Session 4 Thread

    I think you literally lost the fact that Hawkeyes really don't do anything in matches until ride outs. There have been some wins and obviously many losses. Maybe the fact I'm trying to make is that you wrestle enough to not get to that point. Not a crazy position to take, no?

    Day 2 Session 4 Thread

    MM wins how Hawkeyes usually do. Congratulations to Max, we get what we deserve. I can't even verbally compare wrestling for PSU and OSU to whatever this absolute denial of what it means to actually play the sport of what Iowa even does. I mean if I was a casual fan trying to be interested in...

    Interesting Hawkeye times indeed. Crazy to watch the technical, scrambling, movement, ability to adapt in space, latched on to each other, and literally the sheer improvisation that is so technical in moments of madness that separates PSU and OSU from other programs is crazy. Yes, you get the...

    Are they purposely trying to screw Davino and get PSU into the finals? I mean neither are beating Jax but that was a takedown and both reviews were ridiculous.

    Big 10 Session 2 PBP

    Yay! Hawkeyes doing some things as always but never finishing and we get to go without a B10 finalist again. Such an emotionally distant fan base that the Nebraska Football fan base can associate with. I advise you Hawkeye fans are never, ever allowed to talk sh*t about Nebraska Football...

    As strictly a fan of wrestling and when it comes to folkstyle, I love watching PSU, Nebraska and lot of kids from across the country wrestle over most Hawkeye wrestlers. It's just how it is. We suck at positioning and scrambling.

    Chain wrestling leading to outcomes that put you in the best positions by the technicians to finish is the most beautiful thing to witness and completely what Iowa lacks. Mix in scrambling and Iowa might as well be on Mars.
