That's funny. I didn't tell my wife but she received the sweatshirt and met me at the door and said, "Oh, now I know what the $ was for. You donated to the HWC. Your ISU Step-dad and brother really got you fired up, huh?" She was happy about it.

My employer just matched my donation!
You're messin with me Gobblin. You've used "AF" several times recently but I don't think you're refering to me! Took me a couple of tries to figure it out. I think the F stands for F**.
Close... Not that foul of a word though.

Outstanding! It's extremely cool when you realize you can barely even keep up with all of the donations pouring in!
There are a LOT of Wives walking around with a curious look on their faces saying "There is a disturbance in the force......what could it be?"
It's MasterCard/Visa going "cha ching....cha ching."
KABOOOOOOOM!!!!!
Now, THAT'S what I'm talkin' 'bout!
Words can't express how much I appreciate this, Mr. Nicolls, and I'm sure I speak for every Hawk fan everywhere. Wow -- phenomenal generosity!
But more importantly, I agree 100% with your subsequent post talking about how we need all hands on deck. Of course, very few of us have your kind of financial resources. Still, if all of us pitch in a little bit, our pooled resources will add up to a huge amount. There's strength in numbers, and we have more of those than any fan base in college wrestling.
So let's keep it rolling! Not only to pool our resources, but to tell our friends and family and possibly get them energized enough to join the f***, invite businesses to get involved and raise funds in all manner of different legal ways! Let's storm the HWC banquet! Let's show up in droves for the HWC golf outings! Let's show up at Carver next season like never before! Let's give to this amazing grassroots effort to "build it, and they will come"!
I'm telling you, this movement among Iowa fans is unprecedented and astounding. A sleeping giant has awakened. We're realizing the immense power in the Iowa wrestling family. We're determined to put this program on our backs and will them back to the top of the heap. It's incredible.
Of course, the coaches and wrestlers will have plenty of work to do, but they thrive on the challenge. They just need a boost, and we're just the ones to give them that boost. And don't think for a second that recruits won't notice this kind of thing. Who wouldn't want to wrestle in front of this kind of a supportive fan base, knowing how much we have your back if you're a Hawk?
How appropriate that "Field of Dreams" was set in Iowa! I have no doubt that if we build it, they (lots more top 10 PFP recruits) will come. So let's build it, Hawk fans!!! AND let's get that HWC endowed, because it goes hand in hand with the Iowa program.
GO HAWKS!!!

I got ahold of Kakert and HR to see if they can get this pinned
Let's play a game here. If this thread ever falls more than 5 spots from the top the last PSU fan to post on HR has to donate at least $10. Similar to how cities charge the tourists to fund their new stadiums etc by raising rental car/hotel taxes.

Actually we should assume that NO ONE here has told their wives...........so no need to post that info. We already KNOW that.
Only those of you who have TOLD your wives need to post that info............
Maybe we could ask that douche noodle that said we were 83% away to come back and bump the thread every few hours.
I'm done moderators don't moderate.... Got friends in High places at CBS I'll go that route. Touche moderate that
"If this thread wont be stickied, I'll reach out to other media sources to get the HWC donation word out. Moderate that."
THis should be a sticky thread that stays at the top of the forum. Guessing that's the last straw for pinters.
@TomKakert

@Mike Zierath
Could one of you be so kind as to pin this thread at the top of the wrestling board please? And feel free to spread the word. Have a nice evening. Thank you.

Hey SPOONER...........you know anybody that might know somebody to get a thread pinned?
Absolutely agree here! Will put this on our docket for DSM! One of my best memories growing up in a small town! It is officially on the list!!!
Give the pig away for free, charge a lot for the beer. Make lots of money that way
pig roasts are fun cowboy surprised you haven't been to one. you would have a riot on your hands if you could smell it and not taste it. 50.00 cover should do it. keg and pig. we had one last a week back in the dayGive the pig away for free, charge a lot for the beer. Make lots of money that way
So many of the folks who have joined in this effort are also Wrestling for Life supporters. When the rubber hits the road they do what's best for wrestling - Hawkeye or otherwise.
man, we had one almost every month when we were growing up. The hole is still there brick lined, and ready to go. Back in those days the pig was an afterthought, the big money was made selling cups at $25, which got you access to the kegs all weekend. Don't tell anyone, but we used to take them away from people who were too drunk, then they would have to buy a new one the next night
