HR Fantasy Team

[UndercoverHawk]

Somebody send Randy Lewis, Ramos, McD, Dennis, Metcalf, Jaybo and a few others email and get them to make a few post here so they can qualify. Then our posters will take on Togs and his pencil pushing buddies down in tornado alley. Then we'll have em take on NitwitLion and his pussycat feline friends in some sandbox somewhere............

Don't forget Ironside...........

Kwood looks like you're in charge of recruiting. You can be our M*

 

[vanhawkman]

Ok, I'm time keeper and how about also, beer run coordinator......you know, for scouting video sessions

 

[Kwoodhawk]

Yea....OK........I can prolly line up a few strippers from over on the East side and of course with the Budweiser brewery in town I got that handled also. We need anything else? Party favors? Tatoo guy?

We got Casinos...no problem there!

No drugs ....OK? I'm old school with that kind of stuff.

 

[UndercoverHawk]

I've started my cut. Down to 156. When's the first dual?

 

[Nashville_Hawkeye]

Gents: I'm 51, haven't wrestled in a hundred years, and never wrestled at the level most of you have. That being said, I still hit the gym pretty hard, can still squat and deadlift 405x10, and my cardio game isn't too bad, though not what it was during my 20 plus years in the Army. Put me down for HWT (don't see mmyslef losing 23 down to 197), and know that I'm going to lose every match due to lack of speed, but they'll still be exciting matches. On the other hand, to be honest, I'd rather serve as the strength coach and sit in the chair next to AZ and Goiahawkeyes and fire our boys up during the duals...

So I got things lined up here in St. Louis for Nationals next year. Gonna be one heckuva Party. I'll get some Limos lined up too.....they know all the good hookers.

Now all we gotta do is get affiliated with an institution of higher learning so you guys can wrestle at NCAA. Gotta have some diploma mill that we can buy some accreditation from.

OH MY HEAVENS.............I just thought of it. Of course. It is so simple!

TRUMP UNIVERSITY.

Money talks dontcha know. We got this made in the shade. Now all we gotta figure out is a Conference to join. Big 12 is kinda down, but...

Maybe whoever let Chattanooga in will lets us join.

Now we just needs some funding. Who is our Donor to fund this adventure?

 

[MSU158]

I will gladly wrestle off, but defer the spot to a true hawkeye if I can get a crack at lambertt or McCullough. If not an exhibition match would be more than acceptable. I can make 165 if forced but would prefer 174.

If you can wrangle up lemon pie in the process I would be extremely grateful!

Steel Cage Match..............

 

[pablow]

I've got it. As special assistant coach in charge of challenges, I'll stand up every 30 seconds and scream "potentially dangerous" and demand a video review. If the refs deny my challenge I'll fall on the mat and act like I'm choking or swallowed my dentures or something - just to get you guys a breather.

So you see my coaching duties will dovetail nicely with Kwood's recruiting because now we can go after athletes that aren't necessarily in shape in addition to the ones that think they're in shape.

 

[#10Hawk]

I can jump around in the corner and curse out the refs

AZ, that might cost us a point against Iowa Central CC.

 

[Neo_Hawk]

I will be the one in the stands yelling ,"STALLING, THAT'S STALLING REF !!!" and "WHAT ARE YOU BLIND, HE'S STALLING REF, WHAT YEAR DID YOU GRADUATE FROM OK STATE"

I would also be prepared to throw out a few insults about our opponents questionable parentage if needed and start the "Let's Go Hawks" chant when emotional support is required. BUT, if I am going to do all the heavy lifting here, I get to be the one that leads the band in the Iowa Victory Polka!
everybody....In heaven there is no beer......

 

[pinters]

Im 6'4, 255 can i be the guy who holds our HR Coach back when he jumps and shouts 2

Every team needs an enforcer

6'2" cutting to 149. Won't be the strongest in the class but I'm long and I'll use my judo skills effectively. Senior in college. Stopped lifting weights my senior year in high school(partly due to shoulder injury). Switched to 12oz curls. Glad my metabolism is still going strong.

 

[minnhawkeye]

Darn looks like Kwood maybe gonna have to hit the recuirting road I just found out going to have stents in my legs because of blockage. So maybe I can help Kwood with the recuriting and help with the party arrangements. Really that would be more up my line.

 

[Hawkirish]

I've stayed off the board since NYC (some "great" discussion) but couldn't pass on this one. I was willing to throw my hat in at hwt as I've beat Mocco but sorry to say I'm taking my talents to Penn state's fantasy team. They have better "benefits", wrestle to score points, have more fun and they met with me at 12:01 AM while all you old guys were sleeping + my gas tank is similar to the Altons.

Have more fun?! We don't even have to practice. You just show up to the dual and wrestle. And win or lose we always have cold beer waiting for you. Don't confuse the University of Iowa wrestling team with the HR Fantasy Team. We are the equivalent of beer league in hockey or slow pitch.

 

[WWDMHawkeye]

Not sure about anyone else, but I believe that CaseyB.* and I might be in the running for the Hwt. spot on the fantasy team.

It would be a sad team with ol' Vall at Hwt. I haven't wrestled, even semi competitively, since 6th grade. When I was kid, we did whatever sports we could, whenever asked. My best friend in elementary school (who would later AA @ Cornell University) was crazy about wrestling and we would go to work out in the Iowa Wrestling Room as part of the HAWK Kids Club or something of the sort. If my fading memory serves, the wrestling room which was located in the top right hand corner of the Fieldhouse, which right by the weight room.

There was some deal where really good elementary kids (and their large, semi coordinated, best friends) could go drill in the room in the summer and gets tips from Gable and the wrestlers. I recall Gable and Barry Davis (then a college wrestler) having a quick discussion about my skill level and Gable suggesting that I skip the arm bar technique drill for an extra session on bridging as "he might win a match if he can keep his shoulders off the mat".

Later at home when my dad asked me about wrestling, I replied, "Coach Gable thinks I can win a match someday."


* Casey once mentioned in a Tshirt thread (about the ones you wear not Jason) that he was a 3XL.

Fun "small world" fact: Vall's old buddy who was an Iowa state champ and went on to wrestle at Cornell (Ithaca, not Mt. Vernon) was the lead singer of WWDM's rock band in the late 80's. Played (and I use that term loosely) a bunch of Iowa City bars like the Misque (later the Que), Gabe's, and the Crow's Nest, in addition to other hot venues like Pete 'n' Tillies in CR and some dive bar over in Davenport. WWDM's rock star career fizzled shortly after the band dissolved once everyone finished college, but the lead singer continues to front a rock band to this day.

Cue "Behind the Music" text running across the screen. . . .

As for the HR lineup, I'll sweep the mats.

Care to share the band name? I am sure I was there for a few of the shows.

 

[wasdt21]

well since getting back from ny my ankle swelled up like a balloon(from all the walking we did), I think my usefulness would keeping icebags cold.

We were called The Scheme. Clever, huh? Weren't very good, but we were all IC natives from both sides of town, so we filled up the bars pretty good. We used to draw the better part of West and City's classes of '85 and '86, just because we knew them all, so the bars liked to book us for that reason. . . and probably only that reason.

Nobody assumed the role as the Robin Fickers heckler ala Maryland????? Someone should step up as that is an important position as the Terps finish shows?

Forget about the wrestle off, I figured out my role. I'll be the professor!

My Paideia Class will focus heavily on the Norwegian Culture and History. For science, we will offer a botany class focusing on heirloom vegetables and get your road bikes ready for your physical education credit...

Let me say that I am already trying to make the cut to 285! Last 4 weeks = -8 pounds I have 15 to go

 

[caseyballzz]

I also have a weight reducing suit. I am on my 4th one because I keep thinking that 2xl is big enough. I just ordered a 5x.

 

[Vallholl]

CaseyB- wondered where you were. Usually, you don't let those subtle call outs go. Snowed in maybe?

 

[caseyballzz]

After the weekend I took a couple days away from HR. Got frustrated with all the bullshit on here. Btw, I will get to 285 by the trials!

 

[UndercoverHawk]

Looks like a hole still at 157. Can anybody make it? We can't afford a ff against Chuckles and the gang.

 

[wasdt21]

i'd take chuckles on 2 bad wheels,but i'm sure he's only 12

 

[The catman]

If MSU, who gets the strangler?

 

[caseyballzz]

I could have made 157 35 years ago!

 

[Huck]

With a chance to suit up for the HR team I would be willing to make a run at 157. But are these one hour weigh ins or the day before? If they are one hour then someone draw 165 because I'll need as much recovery time as possible. Or screw it and go old school and do the day before weigh ins and a weight allowance, 6 pounds seems fair?
And we might be missing the most important person on the whole staff guys....the damn medical trainer!! All us out of shape old guys might need some medical attention! And screw the trainer type, I have a feeling we're going to need a real doctor in the corner!

 

[WildTurk]

I weighed in at 183 this morning. Pencil me in as an emergency backup at 184. Just don't make fun of my love handles and Hank Hill ass please!

 

[Huck]

WildTurk, with all do respect...you're telling me your walking around weight is 183 and you didn't certify at 174?? C'mon man, how do you expect to get a legendary "Grothus Thread" with that type of team effort???

 

[championhawk]

Pencil in one of San Soucis kids as long as there isn't an age limit.

 

[wrestling4]

I could make 125. Pencil me in for a wrestle off.

Well, I will have you know that I lost 12 pounds in the last 3 weeks from my walking around weight of 195. Best shape I have been in all year! You just assumed I haven't been working out.. Which is true my friend, but I quit eating Stollhouse cookies and drinking kool-aid. Great results thus far!

 

[UndercoverHawk]

So who was in charge of scheduling. Are we a go against the penn staters for an exhibition during ic duals?

 

[255]

I run about 260 but I can drop. Just need a little notice.
