I would tell him to keep working. His time will come.
Your a good dude I get. Passion is there. It’s your brother. I’d feel the same way. Much respect.
Simple really. When you lose your all everything for the year, and your next big gun says he can go - he goes. Especially after the way some of the lineup wrestled tonight.

Kaleb takes bottom. Up and out fast. 3-1. RT :08 for Kaleb.
Hand fighting.

they knew all that before they wrestled him attached at the scuffle. there was no reason to do that. it makes no sense. this wouldn't have been a problem at all if they didn't. unforced error.
Mineo didn’t do you any favors when he screenshotted your FB post and dumped it to Twitter. Kind of a douche move by him.
I think it has more to do with the strategy being played on us than anything else. Do you know how much harder it is to score when your opponent is only settling into a defensive position. This was the strat against us last year at NCAA’s and it’s been the strategy against Iowa so far this season.
Iowa hasn’t looked “Iowa like” yet this year, they’re not firing on all cylinders but a wrestling match requires two guys. Most of the guys we are facing are counter wrestling. Trying to steal it late and slow the pace.
I’m hurting really bad right now. I can’t even pay attention to this ass kicking that we are laying on the Goofs.
3rd period:
Lee starts on bottom.
To his feet quickly. Kaleb returns him twice.
To his feet again. Kaleb working to return him and does OOB.
Crowd loving it.
Back to center. To his feet again. Stalling warning on Kaleb. Lee escapes. 3-2. RT :57,
Lee shooting repeatedly. Finally scores. 4-3. OOB.
Back to center. :15 left. Gotta get out.
Kaleb to his feet. Rolls and almost escapes but Lee hangs on the leg and time runs out.
Lee wins, 4-3.

Yeah the thought has crept in to my mind recently through the anger.
log off. this isn't going to make you feel any better.
Great work tonight. Great job wwdm!!!!!
I’ll bet there was a reason and it will play out as it will. But I stand by what I said - if your big gun can go - he goes. Against a bitter rival, every day and twice on Sunday.
i 100% agree. it's the decisions leading up to it that make no sense.
Brands is without criticism? BS move imo
The Goofs wrestled hard and made the Hawks look flat. Several matches were much closer than they should have been. Collect the win and prepare for Sunday.
With the exception of a handful of guys, the whole iowa way thing has become a myth the last 10 years. I find myself bored (engaged but bored) with the majority of our matches. Encouraged by the energy Ayala showed.
Mineo is just a dirtbag
Yeah. Not a good idea to give this clown any ammo. Folks should think twice before tweeting things they'll likely regret.
Yeah ok. Kem actually looked good
I’m sure Brands doesn’t make his lineup decisions based on Mineo’s tweets.
this is a tired excuse. hawk fans have been complaining about stalling for years. it's hollow.
all of the best wrestlers in the country deal with guys stalling against them. that's not new. this team just isn't doing enough to overcome it like they have in the past. they're flat right now.
Well I disagree. Iowa does use pressure to create chances and it’s harder to do that when you’re constantly facing teams that only want to counter your shots and take it into deep water and steal it late.
This. Love the guys we got. Just hoping the new blood will bring something that we have been missing for awhile. Only time will tell.
that would be close to a fireable offense lol
They sent him out because he was the best option to win. They could give two fvcks about Mineo.
Stop it, it's his brother.
My brother isn't on the team, do any of us have a brother on the team?
Social fing media. Smh.
He's calmed down, just loves his brother.
Seems like a good kid.

then adapt or die. if your entire philosophy is predicated on wearing guys down in an age where training methods, nutrition, sports psychology, and most importantly scrambling/defensive wrestling are extremely advanced, that's a flawed philosophy imo.
it's not an accident that the most successful guys on this team are the ones that can score just as consistently in the first 30 seconds as the last. guys do not break as easily anymore. the way to actually break someone isn't to pull on their head for 6 minutes, it's to put points on the board and the match out of reach. nobody rolls over when they're still within 3 points.
Call it tired all you want but watch a match from 10-15 years ago and tell me you don’t see a difference. Iowa fans say it because it’s true. Defensive wrestling has improved throughout the sport and that has discouraged many wrestlers from putting consistent forward pressure. It is what it is. We can disagree if that’s what you feel like doing.
Something seemed off all night. Desanto had 3 takedowns in the first period. Then nothing. Warner, 2 takedowns in the first period. Then nothing. Bull seemed lethargic all match. Warner is always tactical, but Desanto and Bull? They were fading.
Wouldn't shock me if Brennan is wrasslin on Sunday.
