Lets get a good crowd in there, and get some good reports on the practice. Who you saw drilling, who you saw scrappin , Etc... It really is about the best thing to read at this time of year.

All the side comments are not needed!!!

I am willing to bet $100 that we can't do this!

Seems like you could tank the bet whenever you wanted to. How about 100 dollar fine or a month on mute for anyone starting said side comments???

 

[Irishhawkeye2107]

I am planning on going down and will make a post if I do. I’m no expert but usually know the guys and can give a little insight.

 

[Grip220]

Agree with the Bird guy, for fans out of town we look forward to reading all the takes on how the practice went. I read every post from someone that’s in the room the day of practice, good or bad.

I cannot wait to retire, I will visit IC this time of year just to go to a few practices and get a first hand prospective on the new seasons. Maybe get some local fishing/hunting in to mix it up.

Hey guys I am going to the Saturday practice before the game. I have never been to a open practice. What door do we enter at carver ? And how do we get to the practice room to watch ? I wasn’t sure with all the construction and this also my first time to an open practice. Any help would be appreciated!

Be sure to make vids for all to see next week. You’ll be a cesspool hero.

OH BOY here we go!!!

hmmm, well guess I might as well- Make sure to bring one of those old VHS recorders, ya know the really big ones. They shoot some high quality footage and us older folks will be able to borrow the tape and watch at home. TY

almost forgot. You know that game where you slap a bull on his ass and run. Well I'll give you $100 if you slap big Cass on his ass and make it out alive.(has to be on the tape!)

Well, “not alive,” is pretty harsh. I’d expect the camera to get you closer than slapping Cass.

 

[Redm18]

any suggestions on where to park?

Enter through the doors on the Northwest of Carver. Then take the stairs down a few levels to get to the wrestling room.

Stop at wrestling office right at bottom of stairs. They might give you a free program or something.

Similar to the last time we had a thread about open practice, I plan to post a report.

Heck, why not post it this morning before things get underway? That might be the only way some, “get it.”

Man that was a helluva scrap…glad I didn’t miss this one.

 

[jrod65]

Man that was a helluva scrap…glad I didn’t miss this one.

He's jumped levels for sure. Looks like a National champ to me.

 

[el dub]

He was clearly better than the three other guys at his weight. I’ve got him penciled in as high AA.

Tom took the time to talk to my kid and I’m pretty sure he WILL dare to wear a singlet this next season if he goes out. (And I’m pretty sure he’s convinced to do just that, now.)

Btw, it was really hot in there. I think somethings wrong with the heating/cooling system.

It is always going to be warm in a practice wrestling facility.

 

[Irishhawkeye2107]

Didn’t get to see a ton as I was corralling my 7 and 5 year old most of the time.

Dennis was working with Ayala whose motor shows even when drilling. Marinelli was working with Assad and was pushing the pace. Would love to see that rub off and have Abe open up more this season. Teske was getting the better of Matthews when I was watching. Bennet was working with Desanto and had his hands full.

Overall the guys liked to be in great shape and were working hard. I did but recognize as many as I thought I would so shame on me.

Good to hear Desanto is in the room. Hope his pace rubs off on others.

Yup…157 is settled as far as I’m concerned.

The guy here in the cesspool who eats like a caveman and fasts every day?

Couldn’t they talk to the AD if/when it’s really that bad? I hope the new facility has more comfortable amenities. That can’t be good for recruiting.

Whooooa! Were any of you guys ever in the wrestling room of the old Field House (top floor)? The perpetual and eternal fires of hell, Gable presided daily.

It's not by accident for sure. Wrestling rooms by design should be hot.

Dude…lol. Like a fiddle.

Well, I hope the new facility is designed better. My camera lens kept fogging up.

Yep. The wrestling room and weight room were above the pool. Those rooms were hot and very humid

 

[natchrlman]

so it sounds like there were a bunch of shirtless sweaty men in the room….. and the wrestlers thanks for all the info

 

[Spoons]

Anything on Woods? Really excited to see what he can do in a program like Iowas

Yup...he's the real deal.

Who are we talking about?

 

[el dub]

Dude, get a platitudinous clue.

Only one guy around fits the bill.

@T8KUDWN would be my guess.

 

[Tcalumet]

Who dat?

 

[IAChief32]

Who are we talking about?

Who dat?

A 2nd semester guy who is wrestling with the club by the name of Will Uligma.

 

[Spoons]

Another probably stupid question but has anybody heard or seen anything on Chittum??
