We have to have a couple National Champs. (Woods, Chittum?) This is a change which has to happen.
That story about Bouzakis' family (and Ryan...and anyone else) losing a young child was heart wrenching. Young kid was named Greco Roman. Puts all the trivial bickering in perspective, huh.
Understand. But this is also not considering PSU improvement.
Understood. They have proved their wrestlers get better. At a minimum, I hope it’s a contested close race for the Team Championship.
It has potential. The Brody thread went for years. If they stay and this is our choosen Ferrari discussion thread I think it could blow it away.
Brody is who he is. Apparently a smart kid that transferred to Iowa because of education. He also couldn't beat Boscoglia.
The post you’re replying to went over your head.
I feel like you’re confused here.
Might be. I am normally not on this board.
That’s no lie. That Brody thread should almost be pinned as the standard of excellence for this forum.
There was a thread a few years ago on Brody Grothus, it was like 30-40 pages and went for 3-4 years, if memory serves.
I totally understand. The question is why did Iowa become this desperate. Edit: If they sign AJ.
1998 when Gable retired. He set the standard and that’s a hard standard to reach, but Iowa’s been stretching for it for while now.
I guess we ll hit it then
Yep. Deep six this fool. “globalhawk”, that is. Time for Maxwell’s silver hammer to come down on his screen name (little Beatles reference for the old guys).
Yeah…they’re still reaching for it. Kinda answering your own question here right?
No. I just am honest enough to believe that what the program is doing isn't going to beat PSU. Do you agree or not?
83%, Bael/Carl, Streibler, Nickle, f*n, just to name a few. It's a complicated board for a newbie to navigate.
I see marked improvement from where we were six years ago. We are now seeing recruiting classes with multiple top ten guys, a new facility, back to back sell out years, and 2 championships (I’m counting Covid, Iowa was favs).
if someone has an opinion you disagree with censor them
Carl has won 10 out of 14 or 15. You can't start with his first win if you're trying to match Gable's record.
If the program is doing everything mentioned in this thread, I think they will beat PSU in the next year or two. If some philosophical and or coaching changes aren't made, I don't know about the long term.
Things aren't going to change with this staff. It's life. They can't catch Cael so we need to decide if second is okay.
I thought maybe this crack pipe left after the weekend was over. Guess we aren’t that lucky yet
You have a short memory. Iowa had the best team in 20 and 21. PSU was 4th in the B1G in 20. They punted a whole year in 2015 to align their studs for part of their run 16-19.
PSU has won 10 out of the last 12 titles. My memory is short. Yes. When I grew up Iowa was the standard. If you didn't win you made changes.
