    I love how someone saying that Ben Askren was on campus leads to people telling us why he was there, what he said , and the effects it will have on the program. I love message boards!!

    ESPN article on cauliflower ear

    If you ever get in a situation where you have to fight someone and one of the guys has a cauliflower ear and the other doesn't - it is common knowledge that you pick the guy without the cauliflower ear. :-)

    I only have a small cauliflower ear, but every time someone notices it, I feel a burst of pride go through me.

    Whiniest Big 10 Coach

    I am not sure anything is pure, but it is nice to try and push things in that direction. I get your negativity or realism or whatever you want to call it. I just do not think the current situation lends itself to developing the best virtues. Greed is a powerful force and it drives a lot of...

    Whiniest Big 10 Coach

    I get it and I know this is life. I am just saying it is sad to see everyone give up on trying to have something pure and honest and not easily swayed by greed. We all have to fight to live purer lives and do things that are motivated by virtue. The transfer portal and NIL make it very easy...

    Whiniest Big 10 Coach

    I am trying to give my views on the portal and NIL and how it is simply a case of the rich getting richer and the poor getting poorer. I am just saying that setting records or getting trophies for many schools is not an indication of how good the coach is. Michigan is a perfect example. Let...

    Whiniest Big 10 Coach

    I guess in my mind there I have a lot more respect for guys who recruit, stay loyal to, and develop the kids. That is the gist of what I was trying to say. I know Virginia Tech and ASU have gotten some kids from the portal and it diminishes the team's accomplishments in my mind. I also know...

    Whiniest Big 10 Coach

    I agree with what he is saying. These teams that bring home a trophy because they went out and bought a team are not the same as the teams when you had to basically recruit your whole team. You had to evaluate talent and then get them to come to your school and then develop them. Now, teams -...

    I can only go by personal experience and none of them have ever taken me down or scored a single point against me.

    I am not sure many of the Buffalo guys will be attractive to other D1 programs. Chances are most of them will still be at Buffalo next year.

    Idea for stalling

    First of all - Why do we have a stall warning? In football if you do not get the play off in the allotted time -they do not warn you. You get a 5 yard penalty. In basketball if you do not get a shot off in 24 seconds, they do not warn you - you lose the ball. Also, make each stalling...

    Does Tom Brands make his wrestlers better?

    You guys are projecting East Coast mentality and mannerism to midwestern people. I have met almost no losers in Iowa. They are salt of the earth people who occasionally get into heated arguments and let you know what they are thinking and feeling. To call them losers all of their life is so...

    Does Tom Brands make his wrestlers better?

    Cael lives and understands his approach. Other coaches have seen it and are trying to emulate it. There is a difference between the person who is living and understanding something and the person who is trying to mimic it. That is what makes Cael so special. IMHO

    lowest seed to AA in 2024?!

    Not really. He has a bigger body of work. An argument can be made for him getting the #1 seed and apparently it was.

    Who will the next Iowa coach be?

    If you spent a week in Iowa, you would be amazed at how friendly everyone is. You would start to think that you are surrounded by total stuck up snobs in whatever part of the country you are currently in, unless it happened to be North Dakota or Minnesota. But from reading your other posts, it...

    125 this season

    I say just draw the top 16 out of a hat every week, including seeding them at the NCAA tourney. It would at least be fun.
