Penn State fans should be more grateful for Slumlord Bob. He's largely responsible for Iowa doing just well enough to keep TnT at the helm.

Before corby comes to white knight, TnT are good coaches but they'll never sniff the championship again.
You missed one other point. The combination of Slumlord Bob and TnT gives this forum plenty of fertile material to ridicule and gloat over as the Penn State juggernaut continues its total domination of the Hawks.

Simply tossing money around wasn't the cause, but it isn't a solution, either. Only DT has it actually figured out thusfar. Only DT.
I am not sure DT figured it out. He was there from day 1. He was part of the foundation, he was there and watched as things were tweaked for improvement and then he learned to apply all he learned by running his own, very elite club. DT learned through experience and is simply applying what the master has taught him.

Is it me, or has Iowa gone down hill ever since Bob started investing. A very consistent slope on that decline as well. I am not necessarily saying tossing money around is the cause, but the negative mojo can't be ignored.


Perhaps constantly accusing Penn State of cheating when most of the wrestlers recruited by Iowa also are recruited by PSU and are close with wrestlers at PSU annd know it to be untrue isn’t a great strategy.

Looking at Iowa's current roster: the only 2 guys PSU recruited were Crookham (while in HS) and Mocco.

Iowa probably recruited more PSU wrestlers. Lilledahl after enrolling at PSU lol. Sealey being the reason M* no-showed Wyoming Seminary lol.

And more guys recruited by both schools who went elsewhere.

Gut tells me that after the initial calls, when recruiting gets more serious, PSU and Iowa pools aren't as similar as we might think.

But: the guys all know each other anyway, so word is getting around regardless. And I suspect most of these guys just laugh off Slumlord Bob-isms.

According to him he will be wrestling 149 🤷 . I wouldn't be going down into that meat grinder if I were him. My opinion Brandt will be better on top then Connor and that's not a knock on Connor
