197 Next Year

Take away what AJ is off the mat, if you had the chance to bring the on the mat wrestler in for a few years and a top recruit sat behind him why would you not. Bring any and all in and make everyone earn it. Besides if give a solid summer heads up I believe AJ could find his way to hwt if need be.

What exactly is your problem with people that don't share your opinion?

You think you're better than everyone else solely because you're closer to the program than some of us?

MitchLL big fan but dam man how do you do it. You got more heat on you in early February than most all year long.
Don’t forget we are all on the same team here, except those pedos from out east.

Well we don’t live in this vacuum. The risk is too great.

Only those who constantly make fun of, start/spread false rumors, and run down our athletes, and or our program and staff…. Being critical is one thing, flat out being a prick is another. So you? Yeah, for sure.

I have no dog in this fight, but Mitch you have met your quota of douchey comments about Gabe in the last couple days. If you are going to bash Iowa wrestlers like that on here, you have to expect some backlash. Save that for ISU and Minny.

I'm sorry the comments/observations have upset a few people.
And I understand why some have come to Arnold's defense as he's obviously going through some struggles on the mat.
He's been put in a tough spot wrestling up two weight classes.
But his own comments on social media about CStar kinda didn't help.

This will be my last post on the subject.

Maybe some know more about what's going on than others . And maybe those who know are saying something for a reason 🤷
 
Not especially impressed with Ludington there. He pulled it out but it was vs a guy bumping up and he got rode a lot vs an undersized guy and the refs were pretty kind as well. We absolutely need someone for 1 if not 2 years as he doesn't look plug and play ready. Barr and/or Mirasola will be beating him like a drum.
 
We might as well pick a guy out of the stands.......... Listen, that's not fair to Ryan on my part. He has done a good job as an assistant coach for us. That being said, we deserve, want and need better than good. The list of big names that we could/should go after at the end of the season is long. We shall see what happens.
We know what will happen……. NOTHING!!! Most of the realists on this board realize that something needs to change but all know that nothing will actually happen. As we all know, doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results is the definition of insanity but it is exactly what we have!!

He will probably RS and be the guy in 2 years. High school kids aren't gonna look great every match. Go watch a few more matches from Super 32 or who's #1. He will be good

It’s a valid point. If he went about his business quietly, he would be supported and respected more.

And that goes for most athletes, IMO.

Outlandish guarantees, throat-slash gestures, “pissing on graves”, you name it — not going to win you favor with anyone but a faction of your own fanbase. But if the goal is to have people talking about you, we all know that stuff works. And everyone should be prepared for and accept that a lot of the ensuing talk will be negative.

Get what you earn, right?

Time will tell but Chapman is ranked 10th at 175 by Flo. #1 190 should be wiping the mat with #10 at 175. I know he has some national results but I don't think 190 is an especially loaded weight either. Hopefully it was just a bad match.

Full credit to Chapman for taking on the challenge, again. He also bumped up last month to face Ludington. Ludington majored him that match.

I know you are not worth the headaches.

What about that high school meet where that official violated a fan’s right to free speech?

Give me ten pages. Only then can we discuss Ryan

You don't know shit or know me. I never said the ref did anything I said the officer did and I am right. Before you run your mouth you should have SOME clue about what you are spouting off about.

😂 😂 😂 So now the coaches are off limits too???? What a f'ing crybaby. Hell, I'm probably closer to the PROGRAM than you but I am not happy with staying the same cause it isn't working. If you truly love this program like you say you would want the program to do EVERYTHING in it's power to get better and win championships. Anything less isn't Iowa Wrestling.....

This board was better when you posted less. Calling you clueless is an understatement
 
Hmm, a certain 197 had his first opportunity against a top ten guy today. Wait, what? He’s out with a “hip?” Shocker move from an asshat.

I’m incredibly sick of hearing about Gabe’s comments about CStar. He’s a confident young guy who was excited to take his shot at one of the greats. That’s it. The number of people trying to act like it’s a big deal or that it says something about his character is incredible.

It’s not incredible in the least, and — as I pointed out — it isn’t limited to Gabe’s examples. Talk smack, expect people to chirp back. This is pretty universal stuff.

AJ has been out awhile now. I'm not gonna disclose his injury but he definitely has one. He will be back soon and has Little and Munoz at conferences

Little Mitchy does this on every board. He’s a hateful, mother****er. I’ve told him more than once to STFU but he never does. 😂He’s a total dickhead.

He beat Chapman 16-6 earlier in the season. Chapman is also a guy who can beat anyone and lose to anyone. He is hard to rank because of that

Is it not possible that Angelo puts on another 10 pounds or so in the off season and becomes our 197 pounder? Wasn't he 165 a year and a half ago?
