They are having quite a twitter feud.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.
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.
Not a title, but they probably thought they needed him to get a team trophy.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.
