+1 the Hawks will miss having him. Hope he can dominate Crutchmer to go out on top.Originally posted by madmustang4:
great job and thanks for being a Hawk.
You seem like a grumpy old fart. Evans is a 3x all-american. Good job indeed!Originally posted by OldHawkFan:
Great Job?! In position to win 2 different times and you can't score is not a great job.
The same for Telford.
This senior class did NOTHING to help this team.
I guess moral victories and try-hards is what Iowa Wrestling is about now?
They don't deserve a NC.

Evans isn't a thumper. If Iowa had a Steiber or Snyder or Martinez or two on this team Evans would be cheered for more as a great contributer to a National Champion team. However when you have a roster full of guys that can place anywhere from the top 5 to 1st day elimination guys, a guy like Evans is counted on to get into the final. Same can be said for Gilman, Clark, Sorenson, Brooks and Telford. Non of them are safe studs and all could have placed anywhere from 1st -8th. Iowa could really use a stud again. Metcalf was the last true stud imho.

Well the problem is Brands has to decide if it's better to grab two guys that could be multiple year AA's/ or Bust, or use the scholarship to grab one potential stud who can win it all and pick up bonus points along the way. Recently it looks like Brands has been spreading the scholarships out between several guys that may not be studs but guys who have the upside to AA.Originally posted by HawkTitan:

Agreed. 3 time All-American is nothing to sneeze at for sure. Tough out his entire career, and beat pretty much everybody at one time or another. Was a whisker away from being a 2 Time Finalist in reality. I do wish he'd had a little more confidence in his offense, once he got ahold of a leg, he was pretty good at finishing it. But that didn't happen and it is what it is. Fun to watch for the last 4 years regardless.Originally posted by moug:
Nice career (with one to go) Mike. I thought his ceiling was 3rd and he lost to the 2 guys that I thought were better this year because Kokesh got upset. He gave Brown and Kokesh all he had. Effort has never been an issue and I truly believe he gave the program everything he had. Hopefully his family doesn't read these boards anymore because he deserves better than a few choose to spew on here.
Feel free to call me a candyass for my soft stance for not expecting him to be a 4xer like some expect. By comparison to Mike Evans, I sure as hell am.
Sorry, had to get that off my chest
Start your own thread to complain than. Evans brought it every single time regardless of being sick or injured. Thanks MikeOriginally posted by OldHawkFan:

1. The above post is tasteless and bitter malarky.
2. Hats off to Mike for giving so much time and effort to the wrestling program Iowa fans love so much.
3. All the best to newhawsfamily and the rest of the Evans clan. Thanks for sharing your son with our program, and I hope all of you remain Hawkeye wrestling fans even though your boy's time as a Hawk is done. Please make sure he knows how much Iowa fans appreciate his efforts as a Hawkeye and that, apart from a very small minority who prefer to piss and moan at all times, Hawk fans everywhere wish him the best!
