Excellent work as always Vall. Too bad tomorrow is already the off-season. Good luck on making up with your wife. You have until November before you start ignoring her again. Godspeed 😉

[sdvike]

The Biz gets finished today. Go Hawks.

 

[UIHawkGrad]

What time does it start this morning?

10:00 AM CDT (11:00 AM EDT)

 

[Muscles1989]

Tough one for Warner

 

[meatloaf55]

Feeling good about all these matchups today. Hawks came in with unfinished business this year. Time to finish the job

 

[Vallholl]

Excellent work as always Vall. Too bad tomorrow is already the off-season. Good luck on making up with your wife. You have until November before you start ignoring her again. Godspeed 😉

It's a tough job but if Jacob Warner can get off his back and come back from 0-6, then I can at least try.

 

[sdvike]

Tough one for Warner

Probably not going to be easy ones rest of way out. Well except Desanto, he makes it look easy.

 

[redbirdhawk]

Hey Vallholl, sorry for my disappearance yesterday afternoon and evening. My job flared up on me in the afternoon, and my daughter and her dog had some last minute things pop up that required my attention. Thank goodness I'm not married like you and have to deal with another human being requiring my attention. I'll be here today to help out with the transcription of today's battles.

 

[IowaHawkeyeFBnBB4Life]

Billy Baldwin hasn’t been in the house this year?

 

[Vallholl]

Hey Vallholl, sorry for my disappearance yesterday afternoon and evening. My job flared up on me in the afternoon, and my daughter and her dog had some last minute things pop up that required my attention. Thank goodness I'm not married like you and have to deal with another human being requiring my attention. I'll be here today to help out with the transcription of today's battles.

I was prepared to just watch yesterday and I realzied you were gone, so I started working on some misspellings and misdescriptions. Watching a bit this am. Vall Jr. came home last night (which made it easier to watch wrestling b/c I was with a family member) and we're ready to watch wrestling this AM.

 

[redbirdhawk]

Today's medal rounds are for guys that want to finish as high as third. 4 Hawks in this session, with 3 going for championships tonight.

Iowa has 109
PSU 94.5
Okie St 86.5

Okie could make some noise and fight for 2nd and could challenge Iowa if we stub our toe. We just have to take care of business.

Ironside says NOTHING has changed since we walked into the arena on Thursday. We have more opportunities and two head to head matches with PSU and we're favored in both. Easier said than done to take care of biz, but this round is where the Iowa work ethic benefits the team. Lots of matches and lots of bumps and bruises have taken a toll. The longer the tournament goes on, the more Iowa's style favors the Hawks.

 

[HawkFan1986]

Today is gonna be a good day.

 

[sdvike]

Brands gives Desanto a few extra slaps to the face this morning.

 

[meatloaf55]

off topic but I don't get those air pod headphone pieces. I would absolutely lose those headphones immediatley

 

[Vallholl]

Ironside "The longer the tournament goes, the more it favors the Iowa work ethic"
