    Brands and Gable

    wow, and that means absolutely nothing pertaining to what I wrote. So a former coach pulls a guy aside to show him or discuss something etc. That in no way contradicts what I know, and what I posted.. How often does Tom solicit, or accept, act on advice from Gable? Nobody said Gable has zero...

    Brands and Gable

    I stand by what I wrote. It is accurate. Nobody claimed Tom did not respect Coach Gable and vice versa... there was just a difference of opinion at one time (as you notice, I went back to 2018). I also did not say Gable has nothing to do with Iowa wrestling etc. I only said, Tom coaches, and...

    Brands and Gable

    This is what I know... But first, let's go down memory lane.. When Tom came from VA Tech, Terry was still at the OTC and Gable came in for one year as the assistant... Later, jump forward a few years after Tom's 3 NCAA team titles, Iowa finishes 4th in 2014, places 2nd to Ohio State in 2015, and...

    Brands Contract Buyout

    That IS part of the problem. Cael's own guys were already light years beyond Iowa's. Taylor, Retheford etc. Tom's own guys are irrelevant thus far at the next level.. And most of them will stay totally irrelevant. Cael also went out and lured away Snyder and Dake, while having top guys...

    Parting Remarks

    1. There is a difference as to "why" and making up excuses. If one person or teaam wins, or loses, there are obviously contributing factors. Football cold be turnovers, poor play from the o-line etc. So what? In wrestling, Iowa has not been winning... why? Not getting enough...

    Brands Contract Buyout

    I said, early on, Sanderson had the allure of Gabje and that led to the building and reloading of the program. We all know Gilman left b/c he saw Ler as a top contender, and wanted to be in n another room b/c of that. For those mentioning Tom Ryan, he is a terrible choice. Personally, I may...

    Brands Contract Buyout

    So what if a lot of the NLWC were "developed" by Cael et al? Why did they go there in the first place? They were already top level recruits coming in and they saw PSU as the best place to grow and become Olympic and World Champions... I don't believe TnT take a back seat to that. Where Iowa...

    Brands Contract Buyout

    No, not really, your argument is grossly flawed and actually reinforces everything I posted. Lofthouse? not a factor, not a marquee name, not ever on US National Team... irrelevant... same for Perry, came in having winning 2 NCAA titles, but he came as an out of shape HWC coach, was never EVER...

    Brands Contract Buyout

    The obvious questions are: 1. Can you even divert NIL money to a coach? The donors may get very upset by that even if it is allowed to divert the funds. They donated with the understanding it was for NIL for athletes. Don't expect to see a bump in donations after the bait and switch of NIL...

    Because the back up QB actually got a couple of first downs, something the starter was unable to do. Duh....

    Consolidated Response To The Ferrari Threads

    Yes, I consolidated what would have been 4 replies in four different threads into into one post.

    Consolidated Response To The Ferrari Threads

    You still clicked on it and read it...... and rather than reply to multiple threads I "consolidated" my thoughts to one post. Thanks for visiting.

    Where does AJ help the Hawks more?

    You may want AJ at Iowa so you can continue your trolling and Iowa hater attitude, but I (and a lot of others) know he is bad for the program, short term and long term.

    WTF Was Arnold Doing?

    Regardless of who starts the thread, Troll or not, the behavior by Arnold is still wrong, and a bad look for the program. If Iowa wrestlers continue to act this way, expect more trolls and trolling. Don't like the trolls, quit embarrassing yourself and the program. It is pretty simple...

    Food for thought regarding Ferraris and the Iowa Room

    I may be confused on your post, but to me it implies a belief this was the "first" Soldier Salute. There was a soldier Salute tournament last December (2022) in Chicago that coincided with the Midlands. It isn't new this year, it is just Iowa hosted it. And, Last year I wondered why there...

    And there u morons have it…

    Hill couldn't throw or run, so there. Unless you are being sarcastic which actually sounds more likely given the idiocy of your OP.

    Marco?

    What I saw is QB #1 is a fat slow qb, who can't complete passes (and his receivers have inexplicable drops too) throws ints, and fumbles when he tucks the ball and it bounces off his massive fat stomach, also can't run. QB#2 can't complete passes (and his receivers would still have inexplicable...
