It's very common throughout the sport because of the environments that wrestling has traditionally been popular. I think this is changing a bit but there is a lot of religious folks in wrestling.

It must be a good characteristic to have…..results!
Yep 4-1, similar to the last two times. Very late 3rd period TD.
Davis and Kerk's interviews definitely not fun to watch. I'm assuming they both mean the real goal is nationals. But what a couple of downers.
Waiting for Ironbird and Monkey to tell us how Brooks stalled to the tech fall. (Try losing and talk sh**. It would suit you and your fanbase better. Trust me.......) You: "Nah, I'll just leave that to you blah blah blah"
Props to Glazier he at least wrestled he didn't Michigan it. (Thanks!
But really though......
Taylor won 6-0, 5-4.
In the second match, Brooks scored two TDs to DT’s one; DT scored a TD, and an exposure, plus Brooks lost a challenge on the exposure.

I think 7 is the absolute best he can get looking at what has happened at the other tournaments so far. His best chance is jumping over Deprez and Cardenas, but he could still end up behind Little and end up 8th anyway…
There should never be a sentence that includes the words Messenbrink and stall…..the hate is real in this one
Keep hooking the leg with his legs while forearm shoving to the back of the neck and not trying to turn until you get a minute of RT and that word will continue to be attached to Messenbrink and all your upper weight wrestlers that employ those tactics.
Deal with it.
Outside of Franek MFF, we went unbeaten in consolation medal matches
Congrats…idiotic POTY nominee
Good confidence booster for back round wrestling at the NCAAs.
Messinbrink is my favorite wrestler to watch, including Iowa guys at the moment.
I am dealing with it just fine, you seem to be the one struggling to deal with it, don’t forget to take your meds tonightKeep hooking the leg with his legs while forearm shoving to the back of the neck and not trying to turn until you get a minute of RT and that word will continue to be attached to Messenbrink and all your upper weight wrestlers that employ those tactics.
Deal with it.
I would rather the 10 than 8 or 9. Nobody is beating Brooks
As a PSU guy the other PSU posters are asshats in here. Grow the fvck up clowns.
Wait are you suggesting an illegal fist to the back?Keep hooking the leg with his legs while forearm shoving to the back of the neck and not trying to turn until you get a minute of RT and that word will continue to be attached to Messenbrink and all your upper weight wrestlers that employ those tactics.
Deal with it.
You can defend Brands or not defend him. You can say overall they wrestled well or they didn't.
Reality is 4th place in the conference what anyone expects from an Iowa Wrestling team?

Did they interview Ayala...oh, wait.
Dude, the gambling fiasco is the only reason they didn’t take 2nd. If they took 4th with Brands, Assad and Cass in the lineup your argument would be much more powerful than it actually is…
Brooks claimed he was sick in the first match.
Cael yo daddySome of us would prefer not to bend over for Penn State.
Then there's people like you.
P.S. understand that winning doesn't earn a pass from me, regardless of how ridiculous you think that is. I get that it makes some people, like you, uncomfortable. It's not easy.
But no program in any sport is untouchable.
Yeah I hate that too. Winning a big ten championship is a big deal. Act like you appreciate your accomplishment at least.
Your team just won the big ten tourney by a wide margin and the first thing you do is come on he Hawkeye board and talk shit. Iowa on your mind 24-7? Take a deep breath.
So 2nd a country mile behind penn state is our ceiling now?
Glazier has already shocked the world. Nobody knew who he was before this year; they do now.
Cult-like, programed responses. Real weird.
To be fair, it would be the same ceiling for most of Gable’s teams and all but maybe 1 of Tom’s. PSU is simply THAT good this year. You can complain about Iowa and some of it is warranted, but you also have to open your eyes and realize just how good PSU is right now.
Think bowling. PSU is the guy averaging 279. It’s nearly unprecedented and impossible to beat. You can’t do anything to stop him from bowling it so you have to hope you can be your absolute best and maybe sneak 1 or 2 in.
To be clear, PSU just did this at B1G’s: 1st, 3rd, 2nd, 3rd, 1st, 1st, INJ and run away with it 1st if he wasn’t hurt, 2nd, 1st, 1st.
Going into NCAA’s they have legit chance to win it at 125, 141, 157, 165, 197 and 285. If not for serious injuries you would add 149 and 174. That doesn’t even account for mid level AA’s at 133 and 184 and Kasak may even make the podium at 149.
Over and over I GET that everyone expects Iowa to be right in it for 1st every year. But, I am telling you this year wasn’t happening for damn near every team that has ever been at ANY school since wrestling started…

Why do religious people feel the need to publicly preach their religion when a microphone is put in front of them though? IMO it’s a personal thing unless in a place of worship. Publicly thanking a god for an athletic accomplishment is cliche.
In all seriousness, some are taught that it is their calling and responsibility to do so.
