any credible updates on Ayala going tonight or not? .. I think Hildebrandt beats him anyway but may be able to bonus Ybarra
Lace up ‘em shoes, IT’S IOWA WEEK
- Thread starter slushhead
- Start date
Mineo was coyly asking about it yesterday--but A: I don't think we'll find out until go time and B: I think it will be Ayala (just a hunch, nothing more).
Happy birthday Roman. I have a feeling you are going to give all of us a present this year.
On some level, he knows his audience.
Iowa fans (at least the ones engaging with the online/social media stuff he's talking about) have convinced themselves that they are treated unfairly by, basically, everyone. That they're the plucky underdog, slighted and underestimated at every turn.
Refs hate them and won't give them calls. Schools use negative recruiting and lies against them. Seeding committees intentionally under-seed them. NCAA won't enforce rules against programs more successful than them.
This stuff is red meat to that portion of the Iowa fanbase. What amazes me is that his reaction to all that stuff isn't "what is facebook and twitter?".
^^^^ this. Iowa takes on the character of their leadership. The positive part of it is the plucky, grind it out, push forward, earned everything, underdog. The negative part is the conspiracy, everyone against us part. Often the negative part is the part that most people see....especially when it gets brought up when things get tough.
I am really happy our leadership consistently takes the high road. I would rather have less information from coaches (it's not like we get a lot) and a consistent positive message than some of the craziness that comes from TNT. And our guys take positivity from leadership and act accordingly.
Rokfin linkage between creators is being used transfer RAE Tokins in an untraceable fashion. 🙄
He might be right. There is a rumor out there that Coe College is the braintrust center for the plot to remove TnT and replace them with the brains behind last year's championship. Some 3 time 125 pound champion. Not sure why Coe College, but Coe is another "school".
To give Tom a small benefit of the doubt, Tom is not only a Hawkeye he is also a Hawkeye fan. So the fact refs rarely DQ for stalling the Hawks opponents he probably does think the refs are intentionally cheating.
Just saying.
so how many hawk fans did cael take down last night?!?!
bUt CaEl ThReW a ChAiR oNcE!
They get more mileage out of that isolated event than a long-haul trucker
Narrator got #1 and #2 reversed, and we can debate “mecca of college wrestling”, but those are just details. 😉

Spill the beans, man — we seeing Swafford tonight?

I may be hearing something about this.
But then again, I might not be..
Seriously though, I believe we see Star and Kem for round 3.
Second thought, maybe it’s time.
I’ve been wanting to “retire” from HR and I’m thinking this could be the time. I’ve been seeing a few promising “prospects” over there that can take over and carry the torch. I’m thinking I need to step aside and see what they can do. Lmao.

I still lean SteeleJohnsons, but after last night’s results, I’m also thinking ThisLittlePiggyWentWeeee might be f*n for a while.

You can be the Dennis Eckersley of HR. Transition from starter to closer and still make a huge impact on the game.
This tour of duty may be over but you need to always be on the ready.
