It’s a stupid argument. For one go find where I said Spencer was a bad teammate. You won’t. He is as dedicated to his team as humanly possible. He’s single handedly put the storied Iowa program on his back and carried back to the top with two torn ACLs.
Just pointing out how you constantly seem to move goalposts to fit your narratives…. And it’s really not all that different. Everything isn’t about $. A huge problem with society today.
See Gobblins post on the next page. Basically just pointing out the hypocrisy and changing goalposts done by crabby. In your example of going pro in football or basketball or baseball for that matter (which in the original argument over Kueter was my point) there is no difference to Gables situation. And my point is none of these things make anyone a bad teammate. People that do these things may be bad teammates but it’s not because they chose to go pro or go to Fargo or go to Senior Nationals.
It’s not changing goalposts. If you can’t see the difference between being on a team all season and bailing during the post season, and finishing a season and then choosing not to come back for another one, I don’t know what to say.
Hell, who knows? But maybe. The rules have obviously changed, to this degree for his type of options I don't know. I have no idea if he values a College degree or where he stands academically, but he's already won an NCAA Title and the Olympics. Edit: I don't know if eligibility wise he could go for 4 NCAA Titles, maybe with an extra COVID year he could? He's clearly a showman. If he can't legally do both the WWE and wrestle for the Gophs, I'd be surprised if he came back.
Minnesota is basically Iowa State with higher hometown population and no in-state recruiting rivals.
John Smith has been one of my favorite wrestling personalities ever since I went to a clinic of his about 30 years ago. As a side note - he has never taken me down.
Hypothetically, yes Stevenson could do both NCAA wrestling and WWW. However as a practical matter, me thinks not. The current NCAA rules have adequate loopholes such that Stevenson could do both activities without putting at risk either of these activities.
Uh-huh. That's what they do on Television. Everybody is great when the guy or gal is winning, from the pee-wee Coach to the neighbor kid who rolled around in the grass when they were 4 years old, all part of "The Journey". Smith nor Burroughs threw Koll under the bus when Dake got curb stomped. That's how it works if you want to keep getting paid to talk on TV.
This is the correct response. Without GS, Eggum would already be gone.
Sold our tix…. Followed Arlo McKinley around for a couple nights last week instead. We won’t regret it.
We Iowa Fans are solidly behind Minnesota giving Eggum and his Staff a 20 year extension. Get'er done.
Ethan Lizak: “Hold my beer.”
You SOB. I read your post and initially thought damn it I messed up the match time. 😂
I loved that. May have been Gilman’s best day as a Hawk. That was the night he was getting thumped by Ethan Lizak and went full Iowa style for the fall
It’s on the Olympic Channel (DirecTV channel 624).
