Whatever your Mom left at my house.
Sadly, I am just hoping the Hawks can regain their position at the top and seeing missed opportunities when we are playing catch up is incredibly frustrating.
Bob,
Forget the ski lights! Probably to much glare anyways.
Can we get a disco ball though, could be a nice addition, you know a little throw back, a nice attraction for those new recruits that are on the fence.
Oooh maybe a few of those warped mirrors also, those are always good for laugh to break the monotony of those so-called wrestling practices.

I said he wrestles TnT style, not weight class. Askren was nit as athletic as many D1 athletes, and admitted in a documentary he was very weak in the weight room, so much his freshman year at Missouri it was embarrassing for him.

I appreciate this response. That's how it's done.
The missed opportunity is our lack of development, disinterest in recruiting, etc. The facility is fantastic.
Don't get mad at me because Bob slapped you silly yesterday 🤪!
Please. The only thing that man slaps is impoverished single mothers.
Is there really that much sunlight in an Iowa City winter? If anything, seeing the outside is more depressing. What happens when the skylights are covered by snow?
A WRESTLING ROOM DOESNT NEED AND SHOULDNT HAVE LIGHTS

Then why is any new college wrestling facility that has a moderate to higher budget including them except for Iowa? What is the possible downside to including natural light and checking all boxes that could appeal to recruits and bring statistically proven benefits?
The University does not typically permit skylights due to water intrusion concerns but traditional sidewall glazing could have easily been done here and would have performed well no matter the season with proper glass selection and even daylight sensors connected to shading devices so it is dummy proof and even lowers ongoing utility costs with reduced electric lighting required.
Woah. I don't know what kind of wrestling you're referring to, but I strongly prefer at least SOME lighting for MOST of the wrestling I speak about on this forum.
You realize the room will have lights, right?
Should we knock down majority of the arenas in the country that don’t have natural light?
This is just silly and there isn’t a recruit in the world that is looking to a room with natural light.
The 3 best rooms in the country do not have natural light.
100% i can only hope those are being addressed. We hear that it is but we dont ever really hear how.
I don't post often, but this is too hilarious to pass up. I guess tom thinks we should turn the duals (wrestling meet with two teams) into a duel (with swords and/or pistols). And he criticizes the guy who got the spelling right! One word - MORAN!!! (And if you have to ask the difference between a moran and a moron, you don't belong here.)
Hire 3 really cute sorority girls to "accidentally" cross paths with recruits during their campus visits.
"Hey, aren't you [insert recruit's name here]? Are you coming to school here??"
"I hope you do!"
"That would be so awesome!"
"See you next year!"
Giggle, giggle.
I am aware that there will be light fixtures within the facility. You realize there are windows that allow for natural daylight to be utilized and mainstream technology to utilize both effectively and efficiently. Light sensors connected to building controls that dims or shuts off lights when ample natural daylight present and also connected in with window shading to have it be automatic and dummy proof?
Again, no downside to incorporating natural daylight and so much to gain. Which newer facility has chosen to omit windows from the design except for Iowa? Penn State has no windows in current facility but likely will when they build a new one but other major players do (Ohio State, Michigan, Oklahoma State, Cornell, Minnesota, Rutgers, proposed Iowa State, UNI and Illinois new facilities, Nebraska, Lehigh, UNC to name a few).

Chill. That almost got Koll fired. lol
if the new room gets a disco ball i'm going to Iowa to be the Recruiting Director free of charge.
If you do give me a heads up and I'll make sure that f*cker is lit properly and your arrival photos look nice and clean.

Maybe we wanted to be different, to stick out more in a recruit’s memory after multiple visits.😉
I was going to correct him but I just let it slide. I simply thanked him for his golden response. I just assumed he was posting from his retirement village in Oklahoma. Respect your elders yada yada... Yee Haw
I am impressed by your graciousness. And don't try looking up "moran" - it's not there (except in the Cesspool Dictionary).
If they get a disco ball, and you go there with bell bottom pants and dance like Danny to Andy Gibb music, I will personally donate $500 to the Iowa forum's favorite charity (can be school related). Must have video of act posted on this forum of at least 15 seconds to qualify. Look your best baby!
So u agree with me. I wasn't the clown who said he was unathletic. I said TnT would have nothing to offer an athlete like Askren if talking skill development. If Askren thought he knew everything he needed to know about wrestling skills, but could use improvement in toughness or conditioning the TnT might have something to offer.
Here we go @smalls103 ! Fire up the mic, call your boy Big Fellers and get a show rolling on the Parco to Iowa and how he fits in, Alirez staying at Northern Colorado and all that good stuff! Who gets the credit for landing Parco? Tom, Morningstar or Bobby?
tom is new around these parts. If anything fun was going on with the Okie State board, he'd be there instead.
Tomv31 was warned about this forum. It's like a moth to a flame. Irresistable lol.
He is a good guy.

I don’t think you comprehend just how far the wrestling area is underground.
I was speaking about his general athleticism and strength. What part of this can’t you understand. He was a great innovative technician. He had to be to win that much.So u agree with me.

This, for all you architectural critics. Give it a rest.
So Michigan, Cornell and tOSU have a better room than Iowa, Penn State and Okie State ? Where have I been?

No, I’m quite aware that the finish floor elevation is below grade, but that giant blank box with no windows sticking out of the ground facing the south and east intersection is the wrestling room and those walls extending above grade could easily accommodate windows.
