resident face musher next year? From what I can tell, Projected 149-HWT guys don't have that temperment. How will our infamous tradition of face-mushery live and thrive? One the new, lighter guys is gonna have to find it in himself(?)
;)
 
Is it possible F** State will have more face mushers on the team than us? FACEMUSH U?! Did anyone catch Retherfords 5+ second facemush in the finals? This is a travesty.

I had to rewatch that match because I didn't notice it live. It wasn't the typical face mush but yes it was like 5 seconds. He was just trying to iron out the wrinkles on Mayes's face.

I can only imagine what Mayes will look like when he is actually 40. Current day Lionel Richie?

I saw Retherford start to get up after scoring the TF. Then changing his mind and holding Mayes down when the ref was slow to call it.

I'd vote Kemerer as the designated musher. He's good enough to be arrogant.
 
Ok...Got to thinking about this and it could become a real thing and I'm worried. Iowa will have nobody for opposing teams to complain about next year.

That one guy that PSU fans can call classless and just a reflection of their coaches TnT...you know, despite 9/10 Iowa wrestlers being good sports and all. That one guy who can justify all the nasty shit they say about Iowa.

So Kemerer or somebody better lose the Wally Cleaver act and buy into what Brands is selling. The wrestling world needs us...for God sake's, Flo needs us for clickbait!
 
I vote the Hawks go full bore Face Mush society a whole team of bad ***es for everyone to hate...the exact opposite of the rainbows and unicorns going on at PSU. Grow the bad*** culture even more. Wrestling is grueling and is not all "FUN" and games. Kidding a little but maybe something to it like a like a bunch of Navy Seal Bad*** types. Guys that don't want to "dance and sing" in the locker rooms and before matches. But maybe just want to work hard and put a hurting on there foes.. Besides the future,current and ex Hawks I would say that guys like Zain , Dean , Snyder , Nolf , Howe , Brewer , Deringer types may be attracted to a room FULL of BAD***ES. I'm just playing with this thread a little but something to think about... "Embrace the Hate"

This is a proven strategy for success in an evolving sport. You must try it.

Not condoning what Gilman did.. But what Waters did just holding like a leach should be an instant stall call the rules should be changed here with guys just hanging on or throwing in a leg just to hang on with out any attempt to advance or improve position.. There should not even be a count it should be immediate judgement and stall or better yet an instant 1 point and back to neutral position

This is what I'm saying. Iowa should embrace being the heel of college wrestling. Being the bad guy is fun. You get to be cocky, show off, it's great. This should be Iowas recruiting pitch. It's good to be bad
