Do you think you're cool or something by posting this? People are gracious enough to buy you a drink and your groups first thought was to make fun of them? Im.glad the only Hawk fans I come across like you are the ones that post on this board and not those I meet outin the real world. They are nothing like you. Btw, Willie is pretty much known throughout the wrestling world...even overseas. I am sorry you're a complete nobody in the sport tho..
Penn State is better AGAIN and is going to win another national championship. Oh I know...let's rip on them for their fans booing our wrestler..that should even things up. Lol
Btw, I was there. The fans booed everyone of your wrestlers when announced. They didnt specifically pick out Spencer. Why is it that you all are only interested in defending Spencer here? Are the others not worthy of your time? I didn't boo anyone but I certainly wasn't gonna clap for them either. Well, except for Murin because he's a local kid I like a lot.

You shouldn't let Iowa consume your mind the way it is. Damn dude. Not healthy.
Ok, so no standing-o from you if he didn’t have the gold medal. Glad we cleared that up.
Wrestling is a very niche sport and even diehard football fans I know hardly follow the Lions wrestling team so I would say you're right. Unfortunately their exposure to wrestling might be the WWE kind of stuff, which is probably a different crowd.
IOWA FANS: "Whaah whaa whaahhh...you didn't give Spencer a standing O".
ALSO IOWA FANS: " Cael Sanderson (the true GOAT) is a cheater and a dirt bag "

You are still a Skid-mark who has an extremely overrated opinion of himself and his importance to wrestling which is zero btw
In another episode of How Can We Be Offended Today...... I think people sometimes don't grasp why others aren't amazed at their amazingness lol.
Im not a snowflake. YOU’RE a snowflake.
It's funny that when they open the BJC they blame casual fans for poor crowd behavior. However I don't remember, did Iowa fans get a lot of extra booing when we wrestled Okie St in Kinnick when we had an extra 24,000 "casual" wrestling fans??
The reason this forum isn't the best is because there's only one of you here. Lol.
Personally I don't like booing college athletes and I think it's silly in most cases but not everyone is going to be me. When I go to a match, it's been only two in recent years, I like to watch very intently so I'm pretty quiet. I'll cheer after the match of maybe at some big moment.
Well, you guys are stuck with me. Some members of the new site got together and wrote me a check to keep my NIL OFF their wrestling board. Lol
It’s because their fans are band wagon fans. They just learned about wrestling when Carl got there.
For me that sums up the lack of action in the match. The thumb- sitters. Yeah, we get it, you were there. Carver would have those wrestlers letting the fur fly. BJC- I'll cheer after the match OR at some big moment. I'm surprised you don't snap your fingers but that would be kind of hard to do. Pretender.
I’ve been making this joke for years but the sad thing is it really isn’t a joke.
85% of that crowd didn’t have a clue what they were watching or yelling at, and the officials still let them dictate calls.
Yeah, but it is an additional entertaining aspect to me, to just hear how bad they are at understanding wrestling.
It just killed me during the Bartlett match. Under a minute to go in reg and the camera panned the crowd. No one cheering them on. At a local event the home crowd would have been on their feet cheering them on. Give the tickets to someone who gives a darn. Grow the sport.
Well, their coaching staff and athletes seem to have the wrestling part figured out pretty well. I’m guessing after a couple more decades of winning titles on the regs, the fans will finally get a clue.
I hear you. It’s kinda odd from an Iowa perspective. Too bad they don’t award teams for most passionate and knowledgeable fans.
Here I go again..
"PSU is better than us and going to win YET another national championship. Oh I know, let's rip on their fans for not being more boisterous. That'll even things up...."

You're talking to a guy that would tell his wrestlers to concede at the end of the matches instead of looking to win.
So there's that...
Yeah, I agree. It's pretty indisputable their coaching staff has it down.
That's inaccurate. I said if he going to do something, go for the win by going upper body.
Don't be a tool, like a large chunk of the PSU fan base.
If that was aimed at me I'd like to know something. You went, did you think the wrestlers we're encouraged to let it fly by the crowd during their matches? Did you want to whoop and Hollar but were held back due to peer pressure? Boisterous no, supportive yes.
I wonder if i had no real input for the good of the conversation and could do nothing but spew my teams trash all over an opposing schools wrestling forum on a regular basis...what would an average day be like?? i mean seriously I have never once gone to BWI and posted...Hell I've never been on that page EVER...not even to snoop. But I definitely cant see my day being structured around trolling this forum as some people do..... makes ya wonder what odd attraction draws people to places that they aren't welcome
Good question. People pay for their tickets so I don't feel I'm in position to tell them how to support their team. As for myself, I think there were a few times I left my seat screaming or hollering only to feel like I had eyes on me for doing it. Lol.
Thanks for your honesty, I'm glad you got to go but sad more fans aren't as supportive as you.
You should ask JRod, Madden or JS or even NashvilleHawkeye why they like posting over on our board. Get your answer from one of your own. And get it from those that are way more respected than yourself.
well nasville guy is a closet pu fan for starters.
First, I wanted to stay off this train wreck of a thread, but as I read pages 3-5 (don't ask me why) I ran across a few posts I felt the need to reply to for some reason. I'm sorry that this could turn into a book.
Let me first say I felt it was unnecessary to boo Spencer, but I know a lot of people boo all the stars on other teams, and the animosity toward Spencer for leaving their state. I have lost respect for some of the Iowa kids that went out of state to college when we have three good (subjectively) Division I programs in the state, so I kind of understand that part. I also know that all fan bases have good, knowledgeable, respectable fans, and fans that are mouth-breathers and know little or nothing about the sport. Over 40+ years of attending college and Senior level wrestling all over the country I have had the pleasure and displeasure of sitting next to or near many, many teams' fanbases. I have made friends in those opposing fanbases, and I have had times when it took everything I had to not knock someone out. I have to admit there have been many times I was embarrassed to see how other fans cheering for the same team as me acted (that includes a lot of high school fans).
All that said, here are the messages I want to respond to;
2) Subjectively not sure
3)Wow, that is surprising. What have you been doing the first weekend in March all these years? If you say you were at the Big 12 Tournament, I'll lose a lot of respect for you.
4) Does anybody really?
5)Full? I resent that.
I have had mixed feelings about you for years. I do think you have been anti-Iowa sometimes, and have, whether intentionally or not, influenced recruits away from Iowa. I love your passion for the sport, even if it is sometimes misguided. I also believe you to be very knowledgeable about the sport, and undeserving of some of the shots you take here.Your departure from Flo was devastating to them in my eyes. Running you off was a big mistake.
If I ran into you at the B1Gs, I'd let you buy me a soda pop. I might even buy you one.

I agree about his domination, but as someone that has followed this program since the '70s, I think there have been many others as dominant. Some only for a year or two, but others for their whole career. I know none have won four titles like Spencer most likely will, but several have been just as dominant with only one bad match or one thorn-in-the-side opponent. Many of them also battled injury/illness at times in their career that impeded their winning four titles.
He did have one pretty exceptional (stalling) 125 pounder, but a long drought since.
1) Maybe some places, maybe not others
2) Subjectively not sure

Your point is? Truth is truth.
They have had a loyal fanbase for 70 years or more, just 83% of them learned about the sport in 2008.
True, but doubtful it will happen. My b-i-l has lived in PA off-and-on for 25 years, and says the coverage of the sport and fan support/knowledge overall does not compare to Iowa's.
My memory isn't what it once was, but I seem to remember Carl being well respected for his accomplishments until he left the Cyclowns a shambles and ran to the money at PSU. Strebler didn't meet the criteria as laid out in this thread for an ovation (neither did Carl when he last wrestled here). I'm pretty sure Snyder received some kind of ovation his last year here, but I can't remember with any certainty. Hopefully, someone on here can confirm that. I'm too lazy to look up if he wrestled in CHA after his first World Medal.
