What do the two black bars in the middle of the mat mean? I notice that they are also on my new Hawk wrestling shirt. Thanks. Go Hawks!!!
 
Iowa's center circle is black, and the starting lines are white. I'm really not sure what you're talking about without seeing a pic.
 
But as youngun mentioned, the starting lines are white. And I think I've seen Mike posting here for years, so I'm guessing he's familiar with wrestling.

Guess he could be a little ......................."snowblind" :)

On my shirt is an outer circle (black) with an inner circle (black) with a single bar in the middle of the inner circle. When I'm watching duals I see that same gold bar in the middle of the mat. Go Hawks!!!

Nope........2 parallel white lines. No gold bar on the mat. Just looked.

Get a better TV.

YES!!! So what are the lines in the middle of the black ring. What are their purpose. Thanks. Go Hawks!!!

The lines that connect the width of the two white lines, are red and green, signifying where the home and away wrestler is supposed to stand at the start of the whistle. The white lines are just how far away from eachother they have to start.

Wow!!! Now that is way more technical when I wrestled way back when. Thanks for that information. I wonder how many times that rule is violated. Go Hawks!!!
 
and Derp means what Spooner? Love to wrestle you on a mat anytime soon. Why don't we exchange pictures of our bodies ... shape and muscle wise.
Mikes just fakin around lol
I knew I would be in trouble around here as soon as I posted this thread. I can handle the feedback. We just never had those lines in the middle of the mat when I wrestled in Iowa way back when. Have not been to a Iowa wrestling event since the Big 10s at the University of Michigan, after Iowa lost in the first round at the United Center. Only plane that beat the storm in Chicago to Detroit that morning. The Hawks did not do well there either. Go Hawks!!!
 
Not doing this with anyone on the board.
Come on Spooner ... just once. LOL!!! Heck, comparing a body with a 70 year old should be easy. However, I do work out SERIOUSLY three times a week at the athletic club. But still, I am an old man in the real world. Go Hawks!!!

We already have the recon that you can't hit any moves anymore and have had to rely on blows for years now. And you were just 69 two weeks ago. Belated happy birthday, I suppose. No need to send pictures. Thanks. As in many, many thanks.
 
Just fun tonight guys after a question I had no answer for. No wrestling, no basketball or football games tonight. Let's hope the Hawk wrestlers and the basketball team wins it all. A great year to be a Hawk fan. Go Hawks!!!
