Make no mistake, I get the joke. I completely GET that this board IS the place where, "EXCUSES ARE FOR WUSSES!" However, a smart person SHOULD be able to tell the difference between reasons and excuses. Without being able to differentiate you can't truly evolve. If you can't identify a reason, how can you then try to isolate it, learn from it, work on it and improve?

I mean there are 2 PERFECT EXAMPLES of it with 2 of the most Iconic Iowa wrestlers of all time. Both Gable and Metcalf talked about it in significant detail in multiple interviews. They both hit walls VERY early in their matches with Owings and Caldwell. Mind you we are talking about 2 energizer bunnies that made their livings off of a relentless pace that basically broke nearly every wrestler they faced...
Msu, Dan wrestled for ISU.

Then why did you say he wrestled for Iowa?
I didn’t say he wrestled for Iowa. I said two iconic Iowa wrestlers. Now, I get how that can be confusing and agree that I could have and should have worded it better.

The POINT was to show two prime examples of guys that were affiliated with Iowa that WRESTLED and talked specifically about adrenaline dumps. But, hey, I get that my posting style warrants the criticism whenever someone can find a crack in the armor. Again, in this case I should have worded it better and understand the shots.

I am happy you are one of those that took a shot. I hope it made you feel all warm and fuzzy inside!

I admit your pathological inability to admit when you make a mistake does amuse me.

@Wrestleknownothing, Gable is an "Iowa wrestler," because he was born in Iowa wrestled for the Cyclones, which is the state university of Iowa (for Science and Technology), and coached the University of Iowa (legally the State University of Iowa). Metcalf is an "Iowa wrestler," because he was born in Michigan, wrestled for the Hawkeyes, and coaches Iowa State University.

Two exemplars of notable Iowa wrestlers who had adrenaline dumps in big moments, that I can recall from the not so recent past, so why argue about it?

If you hate Iowa then why are you here ? You guys cry on the Penn st boards and no Iowa people post there. No doubt you have no woman in your life and if you have a pet it definitely wants to run away 🤷

Good points, but one massive correction!

The State University of of Iowa is the official legal and historical name of the University of Iowa, a public research university located in Iowa City. It was founded in 1847 as the state's first and oldest institution of higher education.

Iowa State University may be referred to as the official community college of Iowa.😀

I see now... legally "State University of Iowa" vs "Iowa State University of Science and Technology."

It is really quite simple, we made a choice to have one board dislike us...not both. 🤷‍♂️

That's a big if, because I don't hate Iowa

What are you blathering on about?

If I understood him (@MSU158), his point was about adrenaline dump in big moments by exemplar Iowa wrestlers vs blaming things on gassing or lack of conditioning, I believe in reference to Block (vs SVN). And his point was that the exemplar Iowa-style of forward pressure bringing it demonstrated by Gable and Metcalf, which typically broke others, did not point to conditioning as a cause for them falling short in big moments. I am sure he will correct me if I mischaracterized his position.

Anyways, the side argument about "Iowa wrestler" was a distraction. Obviously, Cael was an Iowa wrestler as well.

I don't know about that. There seems to be more than one on the PSU board who dislike me and think I am an Iowa fan, because I defended the meaning of the Ski Bunny Joke and don't inherently believe all landlords are evil. One even somehow thought I was defending AJ as Corby's sidekick, ffs.

So we lost a dual last year to a community college?

Well aware of who he wrestled for. Pretty sure his success at Iowa as a coach even surpassed his time at ISU and I think ISU would have a VERY hard time claiming him over Iowa when considering his entire time around wrestling…
You'll have to forgive my ignorance. You see im old school and Dan was one of my favorites growing up.

After further review i understand your post. When i think of all time great Iowa wrestlers i would think Cael would be included amongst them proving you are certainly no stranger to being wrong on occasion..

Not so fast. Maybe ISU already has a hard time claiming Cael given his success as a coach at PSU seems to have surpassed what he did in Iowa.

We have Iowa posters on BWI. Even former Iowa wrestlers...

You're also always over there to white knight for your team. 🤷🏻‍♂️

I already admitted I should have worded it better. However, I simply ASSUMED that everyone on an IOWA wrestling board would know what I meant.

But, hey, I am happy for you. If you feel special for finding what you consider a “gotcha” moment feel free to bask in it. You guys complete me!

Not really you just suck at being a troll. You thought making a name PUR158 was trolling MSU158 🤷
Incorrect, I am his #1 stalker. I will give you some time to buffer and process...while you make sure you have connected everything, I will go walk the dog, then wrestle with my wife.

There is no way you have Iowa posters over there. Ive heard the stories and found out for myself how much of a pu$$y board you got with your admins. Dont eat and drink the kool aid and you get instantly banned.

Stalker and troll are NOT synonymous....but, I love you anyway!
Only because I relinquished the title for more women and quality time with my pets.
More likely because you found more trees to hug and babies to abort....but, you do you!

Most of us are just Iowa forum and don't care to go to other teams forums. Personally, I like when rivals post except for the obvious trolls that just want attention or work to take a thread off the rails. Glad we got rival posters like PSU Mike that add to the wrestling discussion. With some rival posters, their pride can be taken as arrogance but either way it can be the reality also.

Tell your wife I'm sorry
Oh c'mon now....I liked you better when you were back in your wheelhouse..."reporting" on "no warrant yet for AJF". Let me know when you figure out how automatic updates work for databases and that government employees in Nebraska do in fact have the 4th of July weekend off.
