Dwight Hinson is a good dude. He coaches my son, and is very supportive of everyone in the sport of wrestling, regardless of their school colors.
Predict Hawkeyes vs ISU results

Ask any Iowa State fan who they want to beat the most this year. Some would say Penn State, but most would say Iowa. That’s because Iowa is unquestionably a rival of Iowa State. That’s also not an opinion. It’s a fact.
I didn't declare the order of matches. Stoll had to win for Iowa to win. He did. I was more focused in on those that say that ISU hasn't even been close in the dual for about 20 years. That dual was just a few years ago.
I prefer the Okie State rivalry and look forward to that much more than ISU. Maybe ISU will become a threat in the near future but for me the Cowboys are best non conference rival lately. Similar to Nebby being a bigger rival than Minny for neighboring states.
My bad. When someone “seals it” it usually means that they locked in victory. Totally agree that it was a close dual but it was a bit of an anomaly.
That was random. But yea, Dwight is a good dude. Met him at a wedding years back not long after his career had finished. Talked wrestling for a few hours.
I think he was responding to my post where I brought him up and talked about meeting him
Remember when coaches used to smoke cigarettes on the bench during those duals? (I ain’t making this shite up, btw.)
Not every team considers each other as a rival.
I'm sure ISU does indeed consider the Hawks as a rival.
And I bet I couldn't find a single Clone fan that would say they want to beat Penn State. The Cael connection is a distant memory.
iowa could lose 2 in a row to pst, ok st, or even cornell and we would all be pissed, but if iowa lost 2 in a row to ist we would all be calling for a coaching change,fact.
Because it would be embarrassing as hell and with both teams at full strength should never happen. If we lost 2 in a row to UNI in football we'd be calling for a coaching change too, that doesn't mean UNI is a football rival, lol.
I live in Ames. Trust me, the Cael connection is not a distant memory.
If you think Iowa v Iowa State is a rivalry in wrestling, here are some other's you'd enjoy:
Tom v Jerry
Wile E Coyote v Road Runner
Harlem Globetrotters v Washington Generals
Hammer v Nail

We get it, you hate Iowa State. Ask Tom and Terry if they think it's a rivalry
I'll do that next time I go to film a practice.
Disliking a coaching staff qualifies as a rivalry?
174 was a huge swing. Myles Wilson was winning when he had to injury default. Somewhere between a 3 and 9 point swing there.I think you better read this article. It backs up my claim.
Iowa Tops Iowa State, 19-18, in Iowa Corn Cy-Hawk Series
IOWA CITY, Iowa – The third-ranked University of Iowa wrestling team defeated Iowa State, 19-18, on Saturday in the Iowa Corn Cy-Hawk Series.hawkeyesports.com
That's why "context" is important. Some of our fans here just look at scores to form an opinion.
I'd argue that Minnesota is not much of a rival either.
You can call it what you want, but for the most part it's the Hawks hammering on the clones. Sure, there is a close meet now and then but year after year after year we are winning. I do miss the days of a home and away when meets were consistently competitive and a lot more exciting. Go Hawks
This is the first time I've heard of the concept that if one team dominates the other, it isn't considered I rivalry.
Want to know why it's the first time I've heard this? Because it isn't actually a thing. It's dreamed up by #TTH mouth breathers.

Do you agree with the premise that rivalries should be somewhat competitive? It might be if they were members of the same conference.
Cause I do. When the outcome isn't in doubt, only the score, how much enjoyment is there?
No different than the Bedlam series in Oklahoma in wrestling. You think Cowboy fans really get enjoyment from piss pounding the Sooners every year?
tOSU vs Michigan in football is considered one of the sports biggest rivalries. Michigan did not win for almost a decade until last year... It has still been considered a rivalry throughout that timeframe.
Outcomes don’t matter. It’s mostly how much the fans hate the other school.
I think it would seem a lot more significant if ISU was a top 5-10 team year after year, if a conference championship was linked to it, if wrestling was more mainstream, or if duals actually meant anything towards crowning a championship team.
Rivalries are mostly fan generated, thus, completely subjective imo. Rivalries are what you want them to be. Minnesota considers Iowa a rival and always will. Y’all might not.
Minnesota fans and their "Who Hates Iowa" chants/clothing when there's a matchup with a different school is especially stupid.
Hawks are living rent free.
It is really a matter of semantics. My 2 cents on the subject is that we would love to see Iowa win every match, and cheer for it to happen because ISU is a rival. It isn't because we fear of being in danger of being defeated, it is because we love crushing them.
No, I do not. Rivalries are about history, emotion, and competition. And sometimes proximity. Conferences don’t mean crap—we wrestle ISU every year. Look how fired up our coaches get during ISU duals versus that of say an Illinois dual.
A rivalry can be one-sided. Look at Cubs/Cardinals, Yankees/BoSox, Bears/Packers. Those are some of sports biggest rivalries and all either are or have been dominated for a long time by one side.
Iowa / ISU is the very definition of a rivalry…. to say otherwise is silly….. it’s not just one sport it’s all of them….. just because Fans might not get fired up doesn’t mean the coaches and wrestlers don’t….. remember last year in ames after the dual?
We live in a low population state with two P5 schools in it and you don’t think it’s an intrastate rivalry??? Come on man…

In Mitch’s defense, his ISU/Minn schtick is pretty good. They just can’t all be winners.
I’ve told him several times to never change….. and he never does
