Early Minnesota/Purdue Probables

Previously the extra matches have taken place between 90 and 120 minutes prior to the meet. Abe's last extra match was about 90 minutes before. Carver doors usually open 90 minutes prior.
 
Sadly, same.

This will actually be my first Hawkeye wrestling match ever- bringing the 3 boys and my dad.

Related: how early should we arrive? Is there anything going on before the meet? (ie, at basketball games, we will often go early to watch teams warm up)

Any other tips for a first timer?
Donnellys Pub on downtown IC is hosting a pre meet gathering. Lots HWC donors and fans alike. Free shuttle to and from the meet if you partake in some food and libations.

If you plan on just arriving for the dual I’d get there plenty early. Parking has been a nightmare this year. Just go in when the doors open and stroll around CHA and take it all in with a Carver Cone before the line wraps around the concourse.

Thanks - i should stop there and meet some of you in person, but my sister is med student down there, so we are doing dinner beforehand with her. and she doesn't know it yet, but she may be our chauffer :)
 
That should never have been in doubt. Gable was always going. He said it himself.
Anyone want to bet that Steveson pulls some punk stunt after his match?

A farewell to a fanbase that enjoyed watching the Gophers lose to Iowa, as a team, for every year GS was a collegian?
 
Cmon Mitch, you know we’d all be a little disappointed if he didn’t.
It would be so "Minnesota" to do something after another loss to the Hawks.

The Fleckster could/should come along as the carnival barker, running around the mat, and pointing at the B1G cameras in the arena.

I should probably know this, but credit it to my head, and not my heart: Where can I go to see what matches are being broadcast, and from what source? (of course I am asking for a friend).

With the exception of northwestern, all remaining B10 duals will be on tv on the BigTen Network.
 
Im not 100% sure, so somebody please correct if I’m wrong... but I think it’s only on the Fox Sports app if you get the channel via the tv provider you use to login.
I cut ties with my cable company, but I use a friends login to watch the Hawkeye football games on Fox Sports. I looked at their schedule and didn't see anything about tonights dual. But they don't really show anything outside of basketball/football right now unless the event is actually live. Hopefully it will pop up on there tonight.

Thanks

And why burn Swafford’s shirt and talk him up all week if he’s not wrestling?
 
Maybe the “Grandpa” in question is Eierman? He’s in, what, year 7 of college? Lol

7 years removed from HS. 5 to maybe 5.5 years of college, I believe. Kemerer on the other hand is in his 7th year of college.

All B1G Network live events are carried on the Fox Sports App. Must have B1G Network in your TV subscription to view. Also, that’s nice of your friends to do that for you. I’m no where near that nice and probably a bad friend.

We are going to Donnelly's pub for a pre Hawkeye social. We're meeting 5pm. They have shuttles to Carver for those that need it. Stop in and say Hi.

When I get home from practice tonight I plan to sit down with a glass of whiskey and enjoy the Hawks doing a little rodent hunting. I will be happy with whoever takes the mat for the good guys and I suggest some of you guys step away from the ledge and do the same! Glad to see some wrestling after a cold couple days.
 
I actually understand Yebrra against McKee a little. You pulled the kids redshirt for crying out loud. Give him a chance against a guy we saw Ayala wrestle twice. If he has a bad showing well that pretty much seals the deal.
Pretty much think sealed.

Ill try to stop there before dinner (coming from Cedar Valley), i think the sister got reservations at either vine or hudson's tap.

Related - my dad can no longer go, so I think i have an extra ticket if anyone could use it

Ok I’m starting to get a little disappointed. Love the staff and they know way more than I will ever know about wrestling but why in God’s green earth is Kem and Ayala not listed! Can we win without Spencer yes but we NEED Kem & Ayala in the lineup to have a chance!
Will this be on Big10plus?
 
Are we counting snakes?
You have friends?
Well; I DID have friends. Then my kid decided to be a Hawkeye and everyone went running for the hills. So I guess that means all I got are the the snakes and this rag tag bunch around here. Seems like a good trade, in my opinion. 😂🤣😂

Would love to see him get upset at NCAAs again. I know, very slim chance…but I’m still hopeful. High on talent but low on class from what I’ve seen, which of course is very very limited.

That is what we refer to as "Trading Up".

And with a few fan bases starting to call us snakes...maybe we need to change the name around here from "The Cesspool" to "The Snake Pit"?
