I know TNT are in no danger but I wish Beth would at least make him bring in new assistants. We need a change.
BIG10 FINALS 2025
- Thread starter Jason.D.Brantley
- Start date
To those that spent money making this trip, I hope the beer was cold.
Time for brands to go along with Fran and Kirk. Iowa athletics has gone stale.
I thought Tom's philosophy was get the first & last take down? I don't even see committed shots.
What did Buchanan do to force a stall call? Not a single shot in the first two periods.
Most likely seeding is 1 Cardenas 2 Ferrari 3 Buchanan
Caliendo is the only one that acts like he wants to be there this weekend.
Truly truly embarrassing. What is the breaking point for new assistant coaches? Am I missing anyone or did we only have a single wrestler match their seed (caliendo)?
Eh, was really hoping to avoid AJ until the finals.
Make every coach walk back to IC.
Maybe NIL guy should spend his $$$ on the coaching staff?????

I’ve watched Hawkeye wrestling for a number of years of years and this has to rank near the top as one of the most disappointing tournaments. For Iowa not to have ONE BTT champion is simply unacceptable. Not sure what the options are but this isn’t working!
Has been for a long time
AJ is the #1 seed at 197 imo. He is undefeated which really helps.
Kueter was the 7 seed.
They talk of him possibly moving to 141 next year seems nuts. He isn't even an especially big 133. He'd get pushed around.
Gobblin knows everything.
Us casual fans are always wrong.
Don't question his wisdom. He's on a first name basis with the staff.

Iowa scored 110.5 pts last year in Big Tens. 2 million dollars in Nil and we basically scored the same. Money well spent.
Get them the hell out. It's done. Underseeded PSU guys come in and step up and win on the big stage. Our guys fold, fold, fold. Whatever they're doing, it's not working. Time to move on.
2 years in a row with no big ten champs.
Is this the worst weekend of Hawkeye wrestling ever? 1 fvcking guy wrestled above seed……..ONE DAMN GUY!!!!!
Ring em both up for stalling. Waiting till there’s 5 seconds left in the match is ridiculous. It’s not wrestling without offense.
Oh duh blanked on BK. So 1 matched seed and 1 beat their seed
Teemer getting bulldozed then no god damn offense from anyone. What a pathetic group of wrestlers.
Outside of the obvious $ why come to Iowa? Who was the last high caliber wrestler that Iowa improved? We consistently take #1 seeds and shit the bed. Year after year. We need a coaching change if we want champions. The proof is in the results.
Would not be sad to see someone else replace boringstar. If he coaches like he wrestled no shock seeing matches like 197 finals.
and he’s probably the most shit on kid on the team lol
Unfortunate.
My hopes were riding on Buchanan being a lone bright spot and the Hawks having a weight champ at the NCAAs. That looks less likely now.
I'm now thinking that getting a finalist and team finish 4th or 5th is more realistic.

Yep. Barta screwed us with ridiculous extended contracts and now Beth too afraid to get rid of anyone.
I am definitely not going to say they had a good tournament. But, it also wasn’t a straight up dud like you Brands haters want to make it out to be.
I will happily do a grades thread later on and I welcome you to tell me where I am wrong when I do…
