    DT - Brooks

    I don't have the keenest eye for wrestling but it almost looked like David Taylor was sick or something. He just didn't have the quickness or explosiveness we have seen from him in the past. Congratulations to Brooks for getting it done...

    Get JB to coach

    I just don't see Tom Brands letting go of his own brother or Ryan Morningstar to bring in JB. If one of them happened to leave on their own then maybe. We'll have the same coaching staff next season

    The House That Tom Built…

    I love the facility as it is. No windows is not a big thing. When the guys are in the room Tom will want them focused (no distractions) and no wierd fans staring through the glass. If the guys wanna see daylight they can do so when practice is over and they leave the facility... The new facility...

    Question - I don't know this, that's why I am asking. Please don't attack me.... Was Joel Jesuroga, Carter Martinson, Carson Martinson and Bretli Reyna getting much (or any) scholarship money? If so, do you think these they left on their own accord or is it possible the Coaches are clearing $$...

    Replacements for Tom…

    Agree with this.. It's gonna be really hard to go from football shape to wrestling shape every year in such short time. All love to Ben Kueter but I think it's best to have a full time Heavyweight.

    Gadson Tweet

    Based on every post match interview from Penn State wrestlers it sounds like Tom Brands needs to start a Bible study class

    NCAA Tournament Session 1 Thread

    Don't worry - when Brands gets interviewed later he will say "Are we gonna cry about the past or keep looking forward - gotta move on and keep going forward. We love our guys" Then he will will look mad and glare at the camera

    NCAA Tournament Session 1 Thread

    I just want (one time) to see a member of the media ask Tom a really tough question - something like - "Hey Tom, what's up with the first round suckfest"?

    How far beyond has Iowa fallen?

    Not true at all... Sammy Sasso wanted to come to Iowa but said the Iowa Coaches never really put a lot of attention on him and Tom Ryan did so... A lot of the times recruits that want to come to Iowa don't even hear from Tom or Terry.... Tom looks for a certain type of kid that he feels will fit...

    How far beyond has Iowa fallen?

    I believe Cael Sanderson had ISU as high as #2 in the rankings during his time coaching Iowa State. David Taylor actually committed to Iowa State and when Sanderson left for PSU, Taylor followed him there... He did a Great job while in Ames..

    How far beyond has Iowa fallen?

    Tom is a living legend in this state but it is hard not to agree with you... From an outside perspective Iowa does not look like the best option to go to when the Head Coach sits in a press conference and just gives a death stare to the camera and when asked a question all he says is "Where...

    How far beyond has Iowa fallen?

    What surprises me is the number of wrestlers who did not come to Iowa that say they grew up huge Iowa wrestling fans and always wanted to wrestle at Iowa.... Then the question turns to "Why did the Iowa staff miss on these guys?" I know Penn State is getting all the really top-level guys right...

    Kueter or Hill?

    Tough call to make but I would like to see Ben go from here. I think his upside is a little higher and he is only scratching the surface of his potential. I would like to see Ben pull the trigger with his offense more than he has so far. He is lean and quick so I don't like to see him stand...

    Star injured???

    Neat to see Iowa fans wishing Starocci well.. I still remember when Spencer had both torn ACL's and a lot of PSU fans crucifying him after his loss to Ramos saying he used his injury as an excuse for his loss .. Way to be classy and humble Hawkeye fans

    Iowa Wrestling is Dead

    As Bull-Headed and Stubborn as Kirk Ferentz is - He does not hold a candle to the level of Tom Brands. I love Tom but his persistence to just doing his business as usual without adaptation is frustrating at times. He knows he's being out-recruited. He said as much when Larry Lee handed him the...

    Iowa Wrestling is Dead

    For me, it's not the loss to PSU that stings so much... It is the complete abscence of fire and aggression. Some had it (149, 174, 197, HWT) but most did not. We were out-wrestled, out-coached, and out-classed on our home mat... We have gone from barely losing to Penn State to not even being...

    Penn State Dual

    Just looking at the latest Intermat rankings as of 2-6-24... On paper only, we are only favored to win 1 match (@ 165 pounds) but Mesenbrink looks really really good. I still think Caliendo wins it... I think Tom brings the best lineup and lets Gabe Arnold and Ben Kueter wrestle. If the Hawks...

    Roku?

    ROKU is just the device that hosts the streaming apps. To watch the BIG10 Network you would need to pay for and download an app on the ROKU that provides that station like youtubetv or HULU+ for example.
