The WeAre is a nothing burger. I'm pretty sure, but not positive, there was a time he may have had derogatory comments about Iowa, but I'm asking for within the past three years, which is when he's matured. Gilman is a very nice guy now.
I’d be happy if Tom would just go out an recruit the top HS kids. For him, however, kid has to want to be here, it’s beneath him to try to sell kids on being a Hawkeye.
What about TJ Williams? HOF wrestler, winningest Hawkeye ever. Has been coaching at his academy and at the HS level for a number of years. Great mentor as well.
Stop reaching. It's a nothing burger.
You could have done without the first sentence.
It actually makes you look silly wen considering you are using that to show Gilman has been disrespectful to iowa, or did you forget why you joined the conversation?
I more posted the only thing I could find which could possibly be intepreted as “shade”. I never called it hate or disrespect.
Is there really solid intel to say Tom is not doing this? People can always find some individual case where "only Bobby called" the recruit, but I find it doubtful Tom is not working hard here, at least now. Maybe took some things for granted in the past and that has gotten us behind a very big eight ball (PSU) to overcome now, but to imply he just sits around waiting to see what kid clearly wants to come here is doubtful. My concern is more that maybe he's not (or wasn't) targeting the right kind of athletes in today's wrestling landscape.
Context. It's not explicitly bashing Iowa. I just recall he's made multiple tweets against his former teammates/Iowa wrestlers. Might've been in interviews as well. I'm not wading through his Tucker Carlson, Jordan Peterson, and other right wing propaganda posts to find them.
Just like Brooks/Taylor, Nolf/Dake, Retherford/Lee, … 😉
If you were athletic director you would fire a coach that is selling out the arena, darn near single handily raised 30 million plus for a new venue , won an NCAA title 3 years ago?
Racist comments or slurs? Like guido douchebag? I live in eastern Pennsylvania and we’ve always had this kind of dim a few on many Jersey residents. They’ve polluted Poconos and well. If you know anything about the city of Philadelphia, I stay away from that trash town myself.
If that was the case, all the the Iowa guys would be d*cks too. They're not. I'm guessing that he's just built that way.
Don't blame the Jersey Shore for AJ's behavior. I've known lots of great Jersey guys, but no one like A.J. Hope that I never do.
JB is a Jersey guy and is one of the classiest individuals on the planet.
A little bit of smoke on the InterMat that A.J. has landed at Rutgers.
Gable started the Hawkeye wrestling empire.
Barf, big fat NO, on Mark Hall
You are being generous using the words "little" and "smoke". All of that comes from a Goodale tweet with just the word"BOOM!" The better description would be more like "a nearly silent fart"....
I saw him wrestle in high school and he was (let's say) temperamental even then.
Nah.....AJ just hadn't quite adjusted to his element. Also, don't undervalue how much that Individual Title bolstered AJ's ego. Once he won that, he had 13 levels of validation swimming in his head....
Well then those kids should go to Iowa so we can win a got dam national f***ing championship.
If theres one match in college wrestling this year that id pay to see, it would be Keegan vs Messenbrink. Ben just keeps pumping out studs.
It would be like adding Seven Up to a glass of '82 Mouton Rothschild.Almost sounds dirty or unnatural, doesn't it?
He’s mentioned coaching at ASU. And Shawn Bormet was coaching club before Michigan so not totally unheard of
