***Definitive Tale of the Tape Thread: FSU vs Iowa***

[BlackNGoldBleeder]

I think it's awesome Iowa has had the success in wrestling it has, but as someone who couldn't care less about the sport, I'd rather have FSU's success in football. I'd also rather be in Florida this time of year.

This dick measuring contest is stupid. It's a wash. Iowa would win by a nose because we have such great people, but one Steve King erases all that. Yeah, it's a wash.

And Iowa City girls are just as hot as any I've seen in Florida, and I've visited plenty of times, so that's a wash too. For me personally, I would give Florida a slight edge coz they have more black and Latina women, but all things equal it's even.

False. FSU won a national championship a few years back.

I was in high school the last time the Huskers did.

Thank you! Pump the brakes on the FSU is the same as the FCS Huskers in football. FSU won a natty in 13, made the playoffs in 14 and JFC we missed our first bowl game in 1,833 years. Sue us.

I don't know any Iowans IRL, but on the internet, y'all are pretty cool.

And even that really is a subset of weather. Our women are built to endure harsh midwestern winters. You transplant one of those FSU coeds to Iowa City and she’d be dead before Christmas.

Soooooooo, they're fat. Got it.

Sturdy. There’s a difference.

Hey, brotha. I'm with ya.

How an Iowa fan could be so sacrilegious as to compare Nebraska of today to an actual blue blood is beyond me. Huck the Fuskers.

Ya know, tbh, before a lot of y'all started posting here, I thought nearly all Trump supporters were stupid.

So, cool points are a two-way street.

 

[iowanole1]

Dying? Methinks not.

The thread was about the overall comparison between Iowa and UF's little brother. Most people seemed to discuss Gable vs. Bowden. Try to keep up.

What would you call a college sport that continues to see a decline in D1 programs? Hell, it gets less air time on ESPN than college cornhole.

I actually think they are just too different to declare one better or worse than another. It literally depends on what is important to you.

I completely understand people that do like Florida. Personally, i don’t like beaches, I prefer being cool or even cold and loathe being hot, one of my favorite things to do is trout fish in streams and I love Big 10 sports so Florida just doesn’t appeal to me at all. If I loved the ocean and hated winter cold, I’d probably love Florida.

It’s only declining due to Title IX. Gotta keep those schollies equal.

Wrong on both. D1 programs are a net gain the last three years. And ESPN has been picking up duals for the first time the last two years. Northern Iowa-OK St, Mich-OSU, Oklahoma-OK St, ASU-PSU, NC State-OSU, and OSU-PSU duals have all been on ESPN/2 in the last year.

I love to go snow skiing but other than that, I don't want anything to do with snow and ice. Can't imagine living and working in that crap.

Totally agree. We're comparing apples and tangerines.

It is what you prefer. I love fall in Iowa but loathe winter. I will take beaches and bikinis every day of the week.

You’re right, I apologize. I see it looks like it’s going from 76 to 79 next year (down from 90 to start the 2000’s). I also see that the pac 12 will not be considered a conference since Boise St dropped wrestling, unless they pick up another member. I’ve learned more about college wrestling in the last 3 days than the 35 years i’ve lived in Iowa.

Favorite stream to fish?

 

[bladel]

I think it was @bladel and I believe he was there on business. And I don't think he gave him the shirt.

That was in Turkey and the cabbie was from Iran. His brothers and/or cousins were on the Iranian national wrestling team. When he found out I was from Iowa (living in Iowa City at the time), his eyes lit up. He said his dream was to visit America, go to Iowa City, travel to Iowa City, and see the Wrestling Hall of Fame. “If you live there, you must go there all the time!” He said. “Um, yeah, all the time.” I lied.

Iran is crazy about wrestling. Even the last US gold medalist was Iranian American, I think.

Favorite stream to fish?

I like Fountain Springs a lot. Bloody Run is another favorite. And I forget the name of the one in the Buckhorn Recreation area, but it’s in a very pretty Valley.

Richmond Springs in Backbone? Have you tried the Maquoketa just north of the golf course? There are some big holdovers if you are up for some walking. Seems like the further north you go, the better the streams. I’ve had 100+ fish days on multiple streams around Decorah

Yeah, I rarely get farther north than Delaware County

You're alive? Praise Gable!

Ram Hollow is the name. It’s a pretty small stream.

 

[Banditking]

Meyer's fifth consecutive win over Bowden occurred less than 3 weeks after Bowden turned 80. Bowden was 17-18-1 lifetime against Florida. No wonder you guys hate them so much.

And this is supposed to refute my point?

Prime uf was spurrier not Meyer. And, prime Bowden was not with Jeff Bowden as the oc. Every win Meyer had but one against FSU was that.

Then fisher ran him out. And meyer’s merry band of criminals.

 

[binsfeldcyhawk2]

I'm talking about national reputation. No one gives a crap about wrestling.

 

[runkpanole]

We kicked his ass in football. So, no I don’t smell what the rock is cooking.
