Handed a sure thing and couldn’t get a 4xer. It’s going to take a lot for the Hawks to overcome this.

The upside to a night like this, it gives me a chance to exercise the Ingore button on the knuckleheads that come out of the woodwork.Handed a sure thing and couldn’t get a 4xer. It’s going to take a lot for the Hawks to overcome this.
Casey. Give him what he wants. You HAVE to break them up.Who you got as replacement mouth-breathers?
We need to be poaching Caels coaching tree. Taylor to Iowa would be big.Who you got as replacement mouth-breathers?

Does it matter? Christ we have no shot of beating Penn State WITH him at the helm.Who you got as replacement mouth-breathers?
I think Barta is a lame duck. I'm not sure he can fire anyone right now.If Barta wont fire Fran, he sure as hell isn’t going to fire Brands.
This. Only, Tom needs to be FORCED to evaluate everything. When he was hired to coach this program back he made a lot of promises. To say he’s underperformed is an understatement. Iowa wrestlers consistently wrestle at or below their seed. Penn State wrestlers always seem to wrestle well above their seed. Our wrestlers come NCAA time seem worn out or broken year after year. I don’t have an answer but I guarantee you Brands does and if he can’t get it done than move on.Tom Brands won’t be fired but he needs to reassess everything around the program. Does he have the ability to admit the need to change things up?
By our wrestlers do you mean Cobe and Abe?This. Only, Tom needs to be FORCED to evaluate everything. When he was hired to coach this program back he made a lot of promises.

Yeah people seem to forget that we won a national title in 2021 (and would have won it on 2020).He just won a Natty. Not getting fired.
One every 11 years is a pretty good clip.Yeah people seem to forget that we won a national title in 2021 (and would have won it on 2020).
You are such a tool. That you even said "handed a sure thing" is evidence of your stupidity. You have obviously never been a top tier athlete in a demanding sport. You sure are a keyboard warrior though. Good for you.Handed a sure thing and couldn’t get a 4xer. It’s going to take a lot for the Hawks to overcome this.
Thanks!You are such a tool. That you even said "handed a sure thing" is evidence of your stupidity. You have obviously never been a top tier athlete in a demanding sport. You sure are a keyboard warrior though. Good for you.
Well we won 3 in a row in 2008-2010.One every 11 years is a pretty good clip.
There are high schoolers right now who weren’t alive for that little run.Well we won 3 in a row in 2008-2010.
Better than anyone not named Cael.One every 11 years is a pretty good clip.
What point are you trying make???There are high schoolers right now who weren’t alive for that little run.
Were they alive for 2020 and 2021?There are high schoolers right now who weren’t alive for that little run.
I don’t recall winning one in 2020, and yes that’s my point. They’ve only seen one in their lifetime. Hanging your hat on one blip on the radar during their lifetime shows how far we are behind. @Gobblin you’re a smart guy, I figured you’d be able to make that inference. I’m sure you don’t care but I’m “Team Gobblin” in a couple of your other fights, fwiw.Were they alive for 2020 and 2021?
The Duck has a long and glorious history of stupidity. He hasn't lost his "edge" at all.You are such a tool. That you even said "handed a sure thing" is evidence of your stupidity.

You just to be overly negative. You’re usually very level headed and unemotional. I understood what you were trying to say, it it just seem relevant unless you were just pointing out how long it was between titles.I don’t recall winning one in 2020, and yes that’s my point. They’ve only seen one in their lifetime. Hanging your hat on one blip on the radar during their lifetime shows how far we are behind. @Gobblin you’re a smart guy, I figured you’d be able to make that inference.

We were the best team in 2020 by a large margin and everyone knew it. We solidified that by winning in 2021.I don’t recall winning one in 2020, and yes that’s my point.

Nolf is my #1 target. And he and TnT have great relationship. Speak it into exsistence!We were the best team in 2020 by a large margin and everyone knew it. We solidified that by winning in 2021.
Iowa is the second-best program right now and it's a big gap between us and number three. We aren't nearly as far off as some of you are claiming but I get the frustration right now. I am on board with changes to the middleweight and heavyweight coaches, but as others have mentioned, I think it really starts with recruiting. Some big name assistants like J'den or Nolf would help there too.
You’re right I am being overly emotional and negative. I can be that way sometimes and that’s a huge fault of mine, so I apologize.You just to be overly negative. You’re usually very level headed and unemotional. I understood what you were trying to say, it it just seem relevant unless you were just pointing out how long it was between titles.
