How about those Panthers?

[TNTwrestle]

Yes, ISU subbed some guys. AFTER the meet got away from them. Dresser has screwed up that lineup badly. I've always rooted for them (UNI) when not wrestling Iowa (partly since I was one for a short period). Realbuto taking out Johnson makes my heart happy. I thought this would be in the Results thread by now.

UNI has a helluva dual team! Went to the Okie St dual and they gave DT's boys a fight.

Nice job setting an attendance record and getting the win today!

I was at the dual.

Kevin Dresser is a crabby little bitch.

Paniro had nothing left about midway through the match, should have been dq'd for stalling. He doesnt look like he will make it through the blood round.

 

[MitchLL]

Clones getting bitch slapped by UNI is funny shit.

Clone fans crying about Schwab like they cry about TnT.
Biggest collection of pussies on planet Earth.

Newsflash...every team deals with injuries.
Maybe if Dresser had guys ready for the start of the season, weight issues leading to those injuries might not happen?

Batista is not injured. I knew he was going to medical before the Iowa meet. He is ducking Gable and Kerk. It thinks he can win it next year.

They also see it as their strongest team with Swiderski and Echemedia back in the line up. They essentially gave up on this season and going all in next.

The brick they threw to challenge the stall call was next level stupid. They basically wasted their brick to get Paniro a lunger. He was completely gassed and was going to lose in OT and they new it.

They also are working on transfers they think they're getting Larkin 🤷 so another 149/157 . They will definitely try for a few Hawks again.

Heard Larkins are going 33 and 57 next year so not sure how that pans out with Frost and Chittum. I don’t think it happens.

Iowa should go hard for Facundo and Sealy though

It looked heated there for awhile. Dresser and Schwab looked ready to go at each other. I'm taking Schwab in that one even though he is giving up some size. Dresser would need to put him away quickly or he likely would look like a 3rd period Paniro.

Ha. I was at the dual and they were all buddy buddy afterwards. Emotions get heated but they seem to generally like each other.

How the ref didn't kick it back at them and tell them to get effed, I do not know. It ended up being worthless because he took strategic injury time anyway. Bad, bad decision.

I watched the dual on YouTube last night. It was a pretty entertaining dual and that place was rocking. Good for UNI. When they threw the brick I was like wtf! Are they challenging a stall?! It was totally just getting Paniro a lunger. He was completely gassed by the 3rd period. I thought the ref would give them the brick back and tell them they can't challenge that, but laughed when they kept the brick and said the stall call stands. Dresser does some stupid shit in duals and I love it!

That's a VERY long list!

Those wannabes are fortunate they followed the KJ shitshow.
Clone fans are just too fvcking stupid to realize last year's 4th place finish is the ceiling for them.
LOL
And if their NIL purchases are as good as Riggins and Bockman...I might just send them a few bucks.😄

The Frosts are amazing wrestlers, if they get squeezed out I’d be happy to have them.

 

[MitchLL]

From eye pokes, to choking, to bs stall calls, to Schwab intimidating the refs...Clone fans are crying a river today.

Pretty much have every excuse covered except UNI turning off the heat in the locker room on Sunday.

Quite entertaining, really.
I see several portal exits coming in the off season.
Dresser probably checking the fine print on Riggin's NIL contract to see an out?

 

[Hawky42]

We need to wrestle them

 

[edquinn06]

We need to wrestle them

Why? How is not wrestling them hurting Iowa? I don’t want to hear grow the sport cause nobody grows the sport more then Tom Brands and Iowa.

 

[OILCHECKER]

To appease Iowa wrestling fans. (Iowa wrestling fans=people that support all iowa teams and wrestlers from iowa repping other schools)

 

[Hawky42]

Because it would be good matches and meet. We are already going up against ok state, isu, and big ten schedule every year so why not.

Well, I guess if you can get Schwab to do some apologies it could someday happen.

My main motivation for wanting this dual is to beat Doug Schwab.
We're at the point where we need to stop being impressed with UNI. They have been solid for a while and can recruit ok so treat them like another d1 wrestling school.

 

[TNTwrestle]

1. It was a long-standing traditional rivalry. Also, we play them in FB and BB. We need to have a true State Champion.
2. Nobody was more pissed off than I was the last time we went there to wrestle them. Very long story, but Brands had nothing on me that night. But that was a long time ago. Time heals wounds. Forgiveness is scriptural, and good for the soul. Besides, the West Gym is toast now, and the worst they can do is put it in the McLeod Center.
3. They will be the only Top 5 team we didn't wrestle this year. Their program is legit, and we need to see them before nationals. There are years we will slaughter them, but some years it could be a good meet. We need another Top 5 blowout after how we looked against Nebraska (and kind of tOSU and Minny). We have looked flat lately, not a lot of fire or urgency in many matches. They could make us look good again.
4. I'm sure there are more good reasons. I just can't think of them right now.

EDIT; But none of that Thursday night BS.

 

[wrestlecrazy]

Why would Larkin be transferring? If he is I would hope Iowa is after him as he is the real deal.

 

[sabula]

The Hawks could use their 141 pounder

Iowa doesn’t play UNI in men’s hoops.

 

[MAGAman]

For what? Being a better coach

 

[24timenattychamps]

How does wrestling UNI benefit Iowa as a program? I know it benefits UNI, but that’s not really Iowas problem. Also before you say what about Bellarmine, Oregon St etc, maybe Tom likes those coaches and doesn’t want to help Doug out.

 

[TNTwrestle]

Iowa doesn’t play UNI in men’s hoops.

Not every year, but they have in the past. Football too, although the current rules for qualifying for bowls and the playoff, etc., will probably kill that. Them (UNI) being D1 in wrestling makes that not an issue in wrestling.

 

[MitchLL]

Iowa has nothing to gain from wrestling UNI and only something to lose.

Hell, just look how we're laughing at ISU after the loss when Dresser probably has 5X the resources that Schwab has.
BTW...only a guess on the "5X" comment.

Fran stopped playing UNI in a similar fashion to TNT. Fran will not play UNI non conference while he is here. Although that won't be much longer.

They've done a great job this year but their dual record is above their norm. UNI Results last 6 year.

[acuhawk]

I understand those that want to wrestle them, but it does nothing for Iowa. Every road meet is lined with kids wanting autographs. You never know which one is the next Lee or DeLuca that falls in love with the team. Competition dates are also too limited. Plus they like to throw current guys a bone by wrestling in their area while trying to help build the sport. Look at it objectively instead of emotionally, and it's an easy decision. UNI could bring their starters to the SS if they want to test themselves.

 

[rtfhawk]

Can someone refresh my memory please? Where did the rift between TnT and Schwab come from?

5 times? Id say 20X. Just like hawks over clones. Its amazing what dougs done with so little.

You sound like brands with the “we have nothing to gain” comment. Tons to gain. Logic asks why not all these yrs. Theres always 3-4 dates hawks schedule that provides nothing especially competition! UNI vs Iowa woupd provide a real sellout not just ticket sale sell out. Good for whole state and sport here in iowa.

You want to be ready in march no ducking and adding better competition is part of the formula.

I think TT are worried! I love hawks as well as doug! Woupd love to see both come together and if not together atleast compete with one another.

I would say UNI wrestles a much tougher schedule because thats how dougs wired. Hed love and welcome an iowa dual. TT not so much…..obviously.

Great point on other markets for recruiting but i still think UNI shoupd be on schedule.

Remember that waste of time quad iowa used to have with iow central coe etc. that should be revitalized to
Iowa
Uni
Iowa state
Wartburg
Grandview
And upper iowa if they still good in D2.

Like natty duals but in state duals.
