I don’t think you can find a more obnoxious fan base than Iowa wrestling

Iowa State will only win one match and that’s a maybe.
Your first message is that lol. Welcome to the Iowa state boards. How’s the tavernhawk board
I think the matches in this dual will be much closer than the team score.
125 - Iowa always finds a 125 that surprises. I think Petersen ends up being pretty good this year. Think it’s a bad spot for KT if he goes, and CHA is a bad spot for a true freshman if Meza goes. 0-3 Iowa
133 - I agree with the poster above. Ayala will be all over Frosts legs and seems like it will be a slow start to the year for Evan as he gets dialed in. 0-6 Iowa
141 - I think we see Redding here and he is going to get this one done. 3-6 Iowa
149 - Ech is better on his feet, Parco with the advantage on the mat. Parco experience is the difference here. 3-9 Iowa.
157 - We’re either getting a hobbled Paniro, or a true freshman here who isn’t ready for this spot. Not great either way. Dec loss if Paniro, tech if K Naak. I’ll split the difference. 3-13 Iowa.
165 - Euton is tough, but I think Caliendo is the clear #2 in the weight class. Tough match up for any of our 165 options 3-17 Iowa
174 - Think Dresser throws MJ out there. Two years ago that didn’t go over well, though MJ clearly is much better than he was back then. Still think Brands is a bad match up for him as he won’t get into funk situations. Think he wins by Dec over MJ or Riggins. 3-20 Iowa.
184 - Arnold crashed the party for us last year. I think Bockman matches up better with Arnold than most guys at 184 will. Arnold is short, squatty, tough to score on and is explosive. Think Bockman is similar (not quite as explosive) but is savvy. Bockman pulls off the upset 6-20.
197 - Carroll will look good early, then I think the flood gates will open in the second and third. Think it’s a much closer match in March, but Buchanan is a massive step up from Stanford/Navy early season for a young guy to handle. 6-24.
285 - Iowa fans will be all over Yonger in this one and I do believe Keuter will try to gas him on the mat. Still think Yonger has enough on his feet to get it done. Hope his tank holds up.
Iowa wins 24-9.

Carroll's gas tank looked much improved against Navy, but not top-notch yet.
Here's hoping it keeps getting better from week to week.
I'm not expecting a Carroll win, but he has that blue-chip aura where I won't be surprised if he finds a way to win.
I'm excited to see all of the matches. If we can win a couple of toss-ups and/or manage an upset, things will get interesting in a hurry.

Just a FYI, this isn't the instate rivals forum so trolling isn't very wise.
Sorry, haven't been following the team too closely early this season. I keep seeing people list Euton as the projected starter at 165 pounds vs. Iowa. Isn't Gaitan the best option? I know Euton started the last couple duals, but Gaitan was round of 12 last season up a weight and just dominated a returning NCAA qualifier. Why are people listing Euton? Is Gaitan battling an injury or something? Or was there a wrestle-off (which I don't put much stock in)?
Euton won the wrestle off. Euton/Gaitan is better than Gaitan/riggins
Thanks for the info on the wrestle-off. Thought that might be the case. I'll respectfully disagree with you on what is better. I believe the best option is Gaitan at 165 and Riggins at 174. But Dresser is a hell of a coach so he will do what makes the most sense.
You’re thinking Gaitan at 165 is worth more than Euton at 165 plus Gaitan at 174? I assume you’re just thinking he scores better at 165 this year?
Not disagreeing with you, just curious if that’s your thought.
I don't think Euton is worth many points at 165. Solid kid but I see Gaitan as a potential AA at 165. If Gaitan goes 174, which is not his preference, he could still do well. I'm still not expecting much difference in national points between Euton at 165 or Riggins at 174 ... so start Gaitan at his preferred weight class (165) regardless of what happened in a wrestle-off. But I trust Dresser to make the right decision.
I think it’s a little early on euton to be saying this. Euton beating gaitan at 165 is not something to sneer at. Seems very clear to me that getting euton and gaitan in the lineup is our best option for the moment.
I think I am a little higher on Eutons potential than most seem to be.
They love Euton. Riggins has had a tough go so far but also has gone against two strong opponents. He won the Grand View Open but Tate was probably his only decent competition. It’ll be interesting to see what they do at those two weights moving forward.
