CY-HAWK GRADES

Loved the interviews. Just my opinion.
I would like them if it was not in the middle of the dual meet.
Good analysis. I would give Kennedy a 95 - 100
I think many of the grades could be moved up or down depending on how you want to judge it? For me, it seemed that this dual meet, more so then any other for some reason??? You could add in many factors including it was the first B1G match of season. Then add in for some like Kennedy, his first match this season. I just felt his opponent was not that great so that is why I had it where I did.
Kale needs lower than a 65
See above ^^^ Giving passing grade on effort for him. Felt he was giving it his all, just was not good enough that day!
PK get 100 came out swinging and didn’t stop. Got the crowd and team going again.
See above ^^^^

I mean overall a pretty good match for IOWA. Many felt that the Cyclones could pull off the upset!?!?!? Guessing if you had taken Teemer out of line up before the meet, many would have bet against the HAWKS?

Plenty to look forward to with these kids as we are all talking about. Ferrari looks the part for sure, I would redshirt him because another year and he may come out as the favorite.


Someone talked about Teemer and a medical shirt. Not sure what might happen??? But IF he ever was to come back next year!!!

Deluca, Ayala, Teemer, Caliando, Kennedy have a year? Arnold, Ferrari, I would get AJ back if I could( I will take heat again but if he makes it thru this season, no doubt he will be looking to "move up" team wise) and the last piece is Kuerter as a FULL-TIME wrestler at a FULL 275 pounds.

That is a possible NC TEAM!!!

Have we discussed Coach Prime going to Colorado?

I’ll give a hatred post - Deion Sanders is an avatar for everything that sucks about the current state of a game I used to love: focus on “me-first/get mine” players, totally transactional and mercenary, phony faux “Jesus” lip service, total front runners that pout when adversity strikes.

They will win games under Deion due to being able to out-talent mediocre and bad teams - but they will never seriously challenge for even a Big 12 championship because they are me-first, front runners.
This is definitely a “mid” take echoed by most of the white folks in our fine country.

And they could still win the Big 12 championship this year.

Do you read much? Or at all?

I made reading a new year's resolution with mixed results. Want to play on my phone less & read more. On my 10th book of the year, which is Harold by Steven Wright. It is very much what one would envision a novel by Steven Wright would be. Otherwise I read a few classics I owned that I'd never read, a couple sports bios & a couple comedic short story collections/novels.

Torbs for the win.

11 straight non pandemic years of at least 7 wins

Some perspective on it; here are how all the B1G teams rank for 7 win seasons since 2013. An asterisk means it can still achieve 7 wins this season, if it hasn't already.

Warren Nolen has Iowa by 17 (80-63) and HerHoopStats has Iowa by 26 with a 96.7% chance to win 85-59. Last season HerHoop stats was pretty on point, but the numbers have been inflated this year. I assume that is because of the small number of games. Betting lines opened at 18.5. Of course, all this is just computer models. You gotta come out and take the win.

I think you should go back and read this thread over, and others on Deion at CU. I think he's good for college football. They played poorly, and were undisciplined today. Is that factually wrong? Find an obsessed / hatred post from me about Deion.
TIA
