Yes, I do think they enjoy piss pounding the Sooners. Makes up for all the piss poundings the other way in football.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?
Right? LolYes, I do think they enjoy piss pounding the Sooners. Makes up for all the piss poundings the other way in football.
It’s a regional rivalry. It has not been a competitive rivalry. But everyone in the state that cares about wrestling watches that meet. That means it matters more than say, Iowa vs Purdue or Iowas st vs any other big 12 team minus Uni. It means something to the wrestlers, and it means something to the state. It’s a rivalry.I'll do that next time I go to film a practice.
Disliking a coaching staff qualifies as a rivalry?
Right? It’s not rocket surgery….It’s a regional rivalry. It has not been a competitive rivalry. But everyone in the state that cares about wrestling watches that meet.

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.
I can't even get any friends that are Clone fans to bet on the dual anymore without them asking for points.Right? It’s not rocket surgery….
And some fans particularly hate rivals….
The Cubs Cardinals series is not one sidedNo, 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.
Historically all of those rivalries are one sided.The Cubs Cardinals series is not one sided

Yep that what I was referring to. Cards have the edge in championships and games that matter. I’m a Cards fan too Chief. Really hoping Nolan resigns, I think it would be a surprise if he didn’t.Cards (I am Cards fan) vs Cubs is pretty much even in terms of W/L. Now, pennant and World Series wins is another matter.
But those games are not against the Cubs. What do games against another team have to do with Cubs Cardinals rivalry.Yep that what I was referring to.

If Iowa has 11 national championships and Iowa state has three do you not think an Iowa fan would use that fact to give shit to an Iowa St fan, their geographical rival? That’s why those games matter. Imo.But those games are not against the Cubs. What do games against another team have to do with Cubs Cardinals rivalry.

If the Cards beat the Dodgers in the NLCS what’s that got to do with the Cubs - Cards rivalry?Which games?
So, are IA and ISU rivals or not? What about MN?If the Cards beat the Dodgers in the NLCS what’s that got to do with the Cubs - Cards rivalry?

Apparently they are, in the same way that great white sharks and seals are rivals.So, are IA and ISU rivals or not? What about MN?
Tell me who leads in the all time series. If you’re saying the Cards are the most successful I agree but they are actually losing the all time series to the Cubs.I’m a HUGE Cubs fan but yes it absolutely is one sided.

Consolation prize?Tell me who leads in the all time series. If you’re saying the Cards are the most successful I agree but they are actually losing the all time series to the Cubs.
That's pretty optimistic, imo.Hawks 29 (1 team point deducted)
ISU 10
Okay, so who loses that point? A coach? A Hawk wrestler gets chippy?Hawks 29 (1 team point deducted)

Terry most likely but I'm thinking PK loses control after match.Okay, so who loses that point? A coach? A Hawk wrestler gets chippy?
I'm predicting that Terry gets the 1 pt deduct, but big Cass gets the fall.

Pretty lopsided
I'm still trying to figure out why people watch baseball and know this stuff. 🙂It's really hard to say it's not a one-sided rivalry when one team has 11 World Titles in the same time period the other has 1. Division titles are 15-8.
Again, big Cubs fan here. But always remember when Theo took over he said (paraphrased) "We aren't trying to be the Red Sox, we're trying to be the Cardinals."
(We're probably picking nits, FWIW.)
I think schreiver will start is allYou are starting Schriever, not Teske? Did I miss something? Did Schriever beat Teske in wrestle offs?

It’s his spot to lose.You are starting Schriever, not Teske? Did I miss something? Did Schriever beat Teske in wrestle offs?
I wonder if those shoes could ever be filled.I certainly like Schriever, but I'm going with Teske winning the spot this year. Either way, no Desanto.
Me, too. I just am not sure Schriever stays healthy for an entire season.I certainly like Schriever, but I'm going with Teske winning the spot this year. Either way, no Desanto.
Cards and Chiefs!Cards (I am Cards fan) vs Cubs is pretty much even in terms of W/L. Now, pennant and World Series wins is another matter.
With the room he is in now...AA should be an expectation.Got a feeling Teske will be a factor at 33.
Cubs and Bears……..🥲Cards and Chiefs!
Awesome! 💪🏻
