    Replacements for Tom…

    To be fair, I have noticed that I get the surrounding details wrong often these days in remembering things. It makes me wonder if I even get the main detail right anymore. I believe the gist of your story though.

    What I learned at NCAAs this weekend

    A wise person once told me that when you say you know something, you stop learning. I think that TnT "know" the best way to win and I think Cael is still learning. The results speak for themselves.

    That is what I always thought.

    Yet another request to adopt freestyle rules for College Wresting

    I watched the match and he most certainly did throw Amine to his back.

    Yet another request to adopt freestyle rules for College Wresting

    Also, anything feet to back is a takedown. Even if the guy scrambles off his back to a no control position. Give the guy a reason to try a throw. Garvin threw a Amine straight to his back and Amine scrambled quickly and got off his back and rolled around. No points were awarded. Give him 3...

    NCAA Tournament Session 5 Thread

    I would like to see more parity. I love watching the race for 2nd and 3rd. That being said, the PSU kids do not show boat as much as many wrestlers do and they seem to be respectful for the most part when they win. You never see Cael throwing a fit (a chair maybe) or making a scene with an...

    Yet another request to adopt freestyle rules for College Wresting

    The simple answer is to eliminate stalemates. If guys are rolling around and scrambling - that is exciting. If a guy takes a shot and the other guy grabs an ankle and causes a stalemate - that should be a stalling call and restart. How many matches do we see a guy get in on shots and get all...

    Round 2 Scouting - Crookham

    To allow everyone the opportunity to wrestle. To keep the wrestlers safe from injury. Because wrestlers are just different. How are those for reasons? :-)

    I agree that he has not lived up to expectations, but he should get a little slack since he is wrestling up a weight. JMHO

    NCAA Tournament Session 1 Thread

    I cannot say for sure. They go hand in hand. It still seems that he is wrestling up a weigh and that is his biggest problem. Now, I agree, that 165 is loaded and he probably is not good enough to dominate at that weight either. But, he is every bit as good of a wrestler as - say a Mike...

    NCAA Tournament Session 1 Thread

    That isn't the point. All I am saying is the guy is giving it his best and he is up a weight. If you expect him to tear the field up, you are just setting yourself for disappointment.

    NCAA Tournament Session 1 Thread

    You guys do remember that PK is a 165 pounder wrestling at 174, right? That is tough to do and it is tough to out condition a bigger guy. It is quite an accomplishment to be successful up a weight in D1. A few stellar athletes can do that and they are few and far between.

    How far beyond has Iowa fallen?

    This kind of stuff is great to hear. I do think that TnT have their hearts in the right place. That is one of the main things you can ask out of a D1 coach.

    Ignore has made my Hawk experiences much more enjoyable. It is a worthwhile function.

    How far beyond has Iowa fallen?

    I have a slightly different take on the Hawks performance at the NCAA's. I think the Hawks wrestle to their best every match. I think they take every match as if it were life and death. Most teams and wrestlers do not do that during the season and dual mets. They get up for the NCAA tourney...

    How far beyond has Iowa fallen?

    I keep thinking that a lot of the downfall occurred after Zadick left. Where did he fit in the scenario of assistants. Butt kisser or his own man?

    How far beyond has Iowa fallen?

    I remember Teske or Brands talking about recruiting Teske when he entered the portal. Brands asked him if he was ready to be a Hawk? That was basically the extent of the conversation. I think that is how they generally recruit. If you want to be a Hawk, then you will be . If you do not...

    I know this is not currently the cess pool etiquette, but I prefer the word "Rectum".
