The throwing away of the shoes by Perry was definitely in the UNI Dome after yet another loss to Hendricks.
Got ahold of a teammate and good friend. Freshman year when he placed 3rd at Kauffman Brand. Can’t remember if he did it at National duals, but said he may have.
Yup. That’s an easy one. I’ve never been to the Kauffman Brand. It was definitely at the Dome. I think he even got majored.
Hawkeye Open on Track lists lots of teams with 20 wrestlers. My guess is those teams are actually 0. Looks like a copy and paste list from original midlands and all the team that were going there show 20. Iowa shows 35 guys SD st 23 those are only D1 teams so far. The Matmen Open ( old midlands) has over 250 wrestlers registered
Read my post above. We’re both right. Regardless I’ll send GG a Jackson. And you’re right. I believe it was like 8-0 or 9-1.
I for sure watched him do it in the UNI dome and I'm pretty sure it was the national duals. I didn't go to the UNI open very often and I've never gone to the UNO open. Could it have been when they lost to Nebraska? I remember watching it and he did jack sh!t to win the match and stormed off with far more energy than when he wrestled.
The loss at Kauffman was to Hendricks the first time they met in college. Perry flew off the handle and quit the team several times, I’m just mixing up my memories. He 100% did it at Kauffman in ‘04 as well. I was not the dome the year you guys are referring to so my only memory of him doing it was in Omaha.

i think the hawks should send kennedy and ayala to the new midlands. this is the only event of the year (2 years for kennedy) that really matters for them and they shouldn't have to skip it to wrestle in a glorified intrasquad. their development is too important.
Thanks man. Still browsing here. Moved to Colorado and travel often for work so missing a lot of live wrestling. Will be at NCAAs though. Gotta see Spencer get his 4th.
After he lost to Hendrix at National duals he threw them in the trash I was there. Also remember hanging with the wrestlers in the lounge for a bit the following year. Watching Star and Beatty grow up from when they were kids over the years was a major plus those years for me.
I too saw Perry dump his shoes in the trash at the UNI Dome. Someone followed behind, I believe a coach, and took them out of the trash.
i was at that Kauffman - Brand Open (which was loaded btw)
and Perry definitely threw something.
Gonna be 50 ranked wrestlers. 184 will be loaded. 165 interesting as well as many other weights
We’ve come a long way. When I was a kid, they carved the brackets into cave walls, AFTER the event.
Tell that to my wife……
The last time I was at National Duals in Cedar Falls, I think that a saber-toothed tiger crapped on my program, but it might have been just a Mizzou fan.
I wonder if they are making this a single day event now. It is only listed for Sunday on the Xtream Arena calendar and you cannot purchase day 1 tickets anymore. Also, earlier in the day trackwrestling showed 36 wrestlers in the Men's division with the following DI teams: Iowa (15), UNI (10), SDSU (2), Nothern Illinois (2), Virginia (2). Now trackwrestling again lists a bunch of new schools with 20 wrestlers each.
How nice of her to lie to you to make you feel better!!
Happy Holidays!
Getting more hyped about the Hawkeye Open....this event seems to be gaining steam. May take a couple of years to mature but I like the direction so far.

Reading this thread, one could fairly draw the conclusion that Perry threw something in the trash every time he did not win a tournament. Reminds me of the old saying, "Show me a good loser and I'll show you a loser."
We agree but 2 semesters is another issue. I prefer single semester and ESPN approached the wrestling community circa 2015 and offered to cover more duals if they season was switched but the legacy programs declined. I was not there but I got this from a D1 coach who was. Please don't kill the messenger
Teams ride buses for hours...why not fly someplace warm? 1/3 of D1 athletes are Vit D deficient due to lack of sunlight. Half of football players. I assume wrestlers who are unaware are even higher.
Prevalence of Abnormal Vitamin D Levels Among Division I NCAA Athletes - PubMed
Many studies indicate a significant prevalence of vitamin-D insufficiency across various populations. Recent studies have demonstrated a direct relationship between serum 25(OH)D levels and muscle power, force, velocity, and optimal bone mass. In fact, studies examining muscle biopsies from...
