Downey wrestled for Iowa State and was a bit of an outlaw. Entered Iowa this semester but failed drug test . He was a much sought after prospect a few years ago. He could have been bad mouthing Kyle to get him fired up but I have not heard this.

They are having quite a twitter feud.

Downey is a twitter trash talking fool. He offered to fight Crutchs teammate in MMA last year and the bad blood from that has continued to fester since.

The guy has wasted an awful lot of talent so far.

probably the biggest never-was that could have been. Too much wine, women, and - well, maybe not song, but he apparently liked to smoke a little dope regularly.

I’ve always been surprised a program of Iowa’s stature would attempt to get that guy. He’s not worth the headache for a blue blood.

Especially in a year they were not going to realistically challenge for the title. I might understand if they felt they were a placer away from a title shot.

Not a title, but they probably thought they needed him to get a team trophy.
