    Does Tom Brands make his wrestlers better?

    I believe it could be JayBo or Grant Gambrell. I know there are many others possible, but these two guys would likely fit the bill. I was kicked off of HR years ago for suggesting the Emperor's New Clothes perfectly equates to the Iowa wrestling staff. Everyone around Brands can see he is...

    Mitchell Mesenbrink’s Highlight Reel - 2023/2024 Wrestling Season

    I feel like Tim the enchanter from the Holy Grail. I tried to warn you guys but nooooo. You thought he might just be a harmless bunny. Well- Look At The Bones! In all honesty I knew what you were getting and he is the prize of the decade. Enjoy!

    Carter Starocci's injury - news, updates, and speculations

    I'm sure this has been an emotional struggle for a guy as competitive as Cater. I hope he is ok. PSU will be fine at Nationals with or without him, but I want to see him win despite the injury reminding everyone once again that he is the baddest MF in this field. I for one hope his tweet was...

    Paniro named in ISU gambling probe

    The important thing to me is the state cutting these guys big checks and the people who did this being fired and kept from ever working in law enforcement of any kind in the future. The NCAA stuff is separate and not really related. Show them the money!

    Carter Starocci's injury - news, updates, and speculations

    I will take an 80% Carter. I think the gap between Carter and the field is big enough he can limp to a title if need be.

    PSU vs Iowa predictions?

    Old Phil will accuse you of racism if you do call him. Put his number on here so I can call him.

    Most Respected Opposing Team Wrestler in Cael Era

    I always considered Gabe Dean to be a high level/high class guy on and off of the mat. Jacob Warner is a legit great guy and humble to a fault. Cam Caffey from MSU not the most accomplished guy but if you ever get a chance to visit with him please take the time. Wicked smart and super engaging.

    125 this season

    I think Caliendo is a stud who will come to wrestle. Carr beat him worse than he does a lot of good guys because Caliendo wrestles to win instead of wrestling not to lose. He will press forward and take risk. The 3 point takedown would be the only reason I think this could end up as bonus...

    125 this season

    I think Iowa wins 125,141,149. PSU wins everything else. Iowa is always pulling off an upset in big duals so it wouldn't surprise me too much if they won 4 weights. The upper half of the weight classes are bonus points(potential) everywhere for PSU.26=9

    Why "Social Media" is great....

    Matches will become tighter as the opponents improve. Guys like Carr,KOT, and af ew others will have much better plans and talent than he has seen to this point. I don't expect Mitch to change his pressure and attack rate. He is going to come hard win or lose.

    Time to give Iowa credit where credit is due?

    Iowa is still the number 2 program behind PSU. The thing that has really changed is the distance between number 1 and number 2. It is weird to think that number 9 is closer to number 2 than number 2 is to number 1. That all realized Iowa is still Iowa and very hard to beat for anyone who...

    Paniro named in ISU gambling probe

    Thank you Nerf! It was a rough patch for me when I was told I was a complete idiot for thinking the state of Iowa would end up writing a massive check for this mess the idiot at the DCI created. This isn't going to end well for that agent. To make it worse you guys were hating on me for...

    After watching yesterday's action, there's possibility that PSU could have as many as 7 finalists this year.

    I'm thinking 4 champs. 5 in the finals. 8 All Americans. Team title. SVN going down really hurt imo as it would have added another champion. This is one of the best teams ever, and only an injury to an absolute beast is going to keep it from being THE best team ever. Carter could come back...

    HAVE YOU HEARD???

    I highly doubt Iron Turd is an Iowa fan. I would have thought JTS but he wouldn't be able to dumb himself down this long without exposing his intellect by mistake. It was a pretty good idea but has pretty much run the course. I have always thought MitchL over on HR was a fake too just to try...

    Iowa super fan Danny Hayes! I don't think he is wild Turk.

    Match Thread Michigan - Fri, Jan 19

    I love me some Austin Gomez and believe he will win this weight class IF he is healthy. I spent a ton of time with him when he was injured and retired as a Cyclone and he is a first class kid all of the way. I'm always worried about him getting another brain injury and the rest of his body is...

    Match Thread Michigan - Fri, Jan 19

    I will be unpleasantly surprised if KOT ever beats Carr again. Carr is guilty of assuming way too much that third match last year and losing focus. It won't happen again imo. Carr is most vulnerable against guys who won't wrestle him and stall him out which is not KOT and certainly not MM...

    Iowa vs Minnesota

    That is an absolute fact! Coach Gable was an incredible coach and is still an amazing person. Cael is creeping up imo and may pass him, but that does nothing to lower my feelings about coach Gable.

    Iowa vs Minnesota

    Thank you for admitting he is great! Cyclone are sure tough guys. He would stand alone by a huge margin if he were a Hawkeye, but alas a greater one than him arrived in Ames and claimed that spot.

    Iowa vs Minnesota

    That wasn't my reaction! I thought he would come in and stomp anyone at 165 or 157 (yes I said it shoot me) and take what he wanted. I also was lucky enough to watch him in a practice room up close and personal wrestling a guy who is world level good. I also knew Nate Carr was deeply...
