Watched the special on the Brands brothers again last night following the Nebby dual. At ~40 min mark during the interview with Tom, they show a clip of him coming off the mat after winning his 2nd NCAA title. The Hawks had 6 in the finals that year & Steiner was coming up @ 142 lbs. In the background, you can see the podium being placed on the mat, along with these ugly teetering plants. You can also hear the fans chanting "No more plants! No more plants!". It was one of the most hilarious things I'd experienced. I'd kind of forgot about it until last night. We just wanted more wrestling and who needs plants on a wrestling mat. Just more evidence of what we already know, Iowa has the most passionate fans in the sport. Eventually, they discard the notion of bringing the plants onto the mat for the remainder of the night. Just curious who else has memories of this moment at Carver Hawkeye Arena??
And PSU fans were "butt hurt" last fall, thinking Iowa fans were booing their players @ Kinnick when the football kept falling of the tee and their defensive players were laying on the field with seemingly minor or fake injuries... Forget the drama, we simply wanted more football.
