No kidding. Take any diagnosis out of it even.
I hope the AD pushed the whole coaching staff out.
And flipped off the entire state of Iowa...
Building a Brand? Punching other Hawkeye's in the face after winning, then flipping off the Iowa Fanbase while doing the splits?
I call it building a brand. All about getting clicks. Ferrari is only about himself. He'll use Iowa wrestling to get his name out there any way possible. Yesterday might not have been a disaster in his mind. He got talked about more in 1 day than in the last year.
No one trolls Iowa like I do. And if I dont even want those kids giving the Hawk program a black eye then that should tell you all something.
Agreed. As a PSU fan who respects the Iowa tradition/brand/whatever, as much as I wanna see Iowa lose to us, I don't wish this shit show on them. Their fan base doesn't deserve this. The Iowa wrestlers don't deserve this. TnT and their desperation to win by any means necessary are entirely to blame. I hope they lose their jobs soon, and the Iowa program comes back to a level of class that garners respect from everyone across the country.
AJ looked good wrestling. Loved the explosion and had slick reshots—something we never see from Iowa guys. Anthony showed guts and heart. It’s a shame we aren’t talking about the wrestling as the other stuff overshadows it.
I mean the Soldier Salute field wasn’t exactly the Big Ten Championships or NCAAs.
It would make a great Snickers commercial. “You’re not you when you’re hungry” and then AJ’s middle finger would be blurred out in the commercial..
and who gave the “anti Ferrari fans” the reason and opportunity to express their dissatisfaction?
I'll start the call. Let's be honest fans, after this Olympic cycle who wouldn't want to see Jordan Burroughs leading the Hawks down a different path. Just sayin'.
Tom’s contract runs through 2029 where he’s making 625k+ per year. The only way he’s going anywhere is if he’s fired.
JB doesn’t want to be a college coach. We need a game changer. Calls to DT and askren would be my first decision.
Askren should be priority #1 if we are looking for a new coach. He has said on FRL a few times he’s uninterested in college coaching tho.
you are always condemning people for their reading comprehension, yet you clearly didn’t read my second paragraph. Practice what you preach brother. I said the f you’s were out of pocket. I was merely referring to the physicality after the match.
I agree that there has never been a bigger threat to Tom’s future than the possible addition of Aj. I wonder what kind of conversations were had last night. Would have killed to be a fly on that wall.
they brought in this family because they were desperate. Tom can’t or won’t recruit in the elite HS market. had nothing to do with helping a family…LOL.
Wishful thinking would be AJ being forced to publicly apologize and attend anger management meetings.
Did you hear those words out of each of the Brands brothers mouth about being desperate?
Words? Actions speak louder than words. Do you actually expect them to admit they’re desperate?
Pyle and his kid are praying Aj still ends up at Iowa
Christ like? Wtf? They didn't volunteer at homeless shelter, food pantries, or rehab centers. They brought in a narcissistic national champion and said "Dear God. I hope this doesn't blow-up in my face."
I say go get Ben Askren right now and by the end of the year we would all be happier. Change my mind
Even IF his fingers got stuck, they got stuck because he started pushing off. Chain of events.
didn’t need to. Tom needed something to become at least moderately competitive. agreeing to AJ to get the two brothers was by definition desperation.
Definitely didn't hit solidly or look like possibly could given technique. Maybe MMA is a bad idea.
Well, he does have Bobby Telford, from the University of Iowa, to make phone calls for him, so why should he bother recruiting.
