It is great to be an Iowa Wrestling fan.

Go Hawks!
 
Brands is the best option at 174.
He has proven results (AA), Kennedy does not.
 
I'd disagree. It looks to me from seeing them wrestle this year that Brands is on a downswing and Kennedy is on an upswing. Turn PK loose.
We are just now getting into December wrestling. I need to see more matches to form my opinion going forward at 174 and 184. My gut right now says Arnold at 174 and Angelo at 184 would score the most post season points. Too early to tell just yet

While I agree with you, I think we see PK and Brands at 174 and AF and GA at 184 at the SS. All 4 of them in the 174/184 finals would be must see stuff!
 
Unless they believe Ferrari can win it at 184, I would red shirt him and let it clear out because we already have a very good wrestler there!
He did make it look easy against the #15 last week. He is definitely a likely AA this year but yeah he probably isn't beating the top 2 at 84 this year. I wish they would send him out to CKLV or Southern Scuffle just to see how he stacks up.

Heck and plott at CKLV. Would have been interesting to see how he could hang with either of those guys. We aren’t winning a title this year, 184 stacked at top, need to use his redshirt. We have much better options at 184 this year than last year, and we didn’t burn Gabe’s shirt just to get more points out of 184.

How big is Angelo currently? Any chance he ends up at 197 next year?

I'd take Mikey, PK, Gabe, Angelo and Big Ben at the end of the lineup!

Would love to see him go at Southern Scuffle. I think Hawks have had a few entries in the past.

I do not see him going up to 197 as long as AJ is also there. Maybe if AJ goes up then he would TWOOOOO???
 
How dare schools and conferences choose their own service!
^^^ DUMB and I will tell you why. I already have FLO, B1G Ten plus, now I have to get UFC!!! In you opinion, would it be OK if every single match was on a different service and you had to add yet another membership?

I mean I also have B1G on my TV with the service I already pay for so that is FIVE just so I can watch IOWA wrestling, and it isn't even about the $$$ so much. It is more about the constant hassel of signing up, getting membership, then having to cancel or they keep charging you etc...

I rather have IOWA U set up their own streaming service and let students and the team earn the money! Maybe there is kickback to the IOWA that I am not aware of but that would seem to make more sense?
I checked it out, you can get a 1 month wrestling only pass for $2.99
Less than one beer for me, I'm in.
^^^^^ Here, PROPER response!!!! TY

Man, don't try to watch other sports online or you will be in for quite the shocker.

Iowa has a streaming service w/BTN. Home schools only control their own broadcast rights. Iowa has no legal say in the matter when they wrestle outside of IC. So when they wrestle at Okie State, Bellamine, ISU, etc. they don't get to pick.

We didn't have any of these services back in the 80s and couldn't have watched all the events from the comfort of our homes, no matter how much we were willing to pay. So you either go through all the "hassel" of having to sign up for a few streaming services or you don't watch, just like it was back then. This isn't a tough choice.

I think he looks a bit on the small side for 184, but big enough with his skills and speed to beat all but the top 3-4 guys. Next year he should be a good size 184, might grow into 197 in a few years. I agree with ironbird, he wouldn’t want to compete with his brother unless 184 was a killer cut.
 
I’m not a fan of all the different tv services either but don’t forget UFC is or at least was a sponsor of some sort for the wrestling team. As long as they’re kicking money our way to be a sponsor we shouldn’t bitch to much about them showing a match or two each year.

You said it @SPOONER . When I moved to ATL in 98' I remember having to dig into the ESPN site (deep) to find the team score for nationals. That was all the coverage there was. No live stream, replay or even individual results or write ups.

Now you can see all matches live for a couple hundred bucks a year (or cheaper if you go with B1G+ and see the B1G Network meets on 1 day delay). Money well spent.

After I left Iowa City I used to have to call KXIC and ask to be put on hold in order to listen to the NCAA finals from CT and NYC.

Nobody ever agrees with ironbird!
 
I will predict 17-3 in matches tonight. Too many questions to go all out 20-0.
 
Uhh this starts in 10 minutes and not 2 hours and 10 minutes like the timer is showing on fight pass....right?
