2025 Iowa vs ISU
Things are really starting to shape and I had to do this just to break it down for myself and see if ISU has a chance. I’m putting out both teams best lineup. 125 - Poulin Dec Peterson. Stevo won the h2h at NCAA. 3-0 ISU 133 - Ayala Dec Ortega 3-3 141 - Frost Dec Bailey. Repeat of NCAA. 6-3... -

Final X
Final X is this Saturday at 1pm. David Carr vs Messenbrink is the first match on the card. They have a best 2 out of 3 series to make the world team. Lots of people’s opinions on this matchup have shifted since the US Open finals where Messenbrink won by tech. I think David made a few stupid... -

2025 WTT
Seeds are out. Wrestling starts on the 16th. Looks like Carr should have a bye and will likely face Caliendo in the semis. After that would likely have Jacques or Monday in the finals. Should be Carr next topic setting up a 2/3 with Messenbrink at Final X. Coleman has a small but STACKED... -

Other Conference Discussion
Watched the PAC 12s last night. It was really cool that they were on Thursday so they don’t get lost in the shuffle with Big 10 and Big 12. 133 - Romney and Bailey are both tough. Neither did much in their finals match, so not really much to be learned. Bailey is not a guy that I’d want... -

UNI 2/16
Need to get this thread going. Does ISU have a shot? 125 - is Terukina back? I’m going with UNI with a decision win here, but Perryman has been wrestling well. UNI 3-0 133 - Frost has bonuses Farber 4/5 times. Going to need it again. Major for Frost. 4-4 ISU. 141 - Frost has improved with... -

Flowrestling Night in America
Sounds like Flo is putting on a wrestling event on 2/26 at the Coralville Xtream Arena. I haven’t seen many details yet, but the headline of Spencer Lee vs Masanosuke Ono has been announced. This will be an amazing match. Seems like some CRTC guys should try to get on the card as well. Would... -

Non Olympic WTT
Just listened to yesterday’s FRL and they spent some time speculating about David Carr wrestling at the upcoming WTT. The speculation was around Carr dropping to 70 kgs. Carr at 70 seems very unlikely to me. But, I hadn’t even heard that he was planning to wrestling at the WTT. Anyone have... -

Cyclone Fanatic NIL Curse
I think this topic needs to be discussed. Everyone knows about the Madden curse, right? Basically where the cover athlete on the Madden video game has a bad year after being on the cover. Well, it seems there maybe something similar with Cyclone Fanatic’s wrestling NIL deals. Last year it... -

Cyclones 3rd in Attendance
Pretty awesome to only trail Iowa and PSU in attendance rankings. This is without even having Iowa at home. Hope more fans will continue to come out for duals this coming season. Since Dresser got here, they continuously put out a fun and exciting dual team year after year... -

NCAA Predictions
Made my way through the brackets this morning. Below are my picks. ISU Redding - 3-2 losing to Fix in the front and the blood round to Ragusin Swiderski - 3-2 losing to Hart in the front and then in the blood round to Bartlett Paniro - 5th. Loses to Yianni in semis and Yayha in the Consi... -

New CRTC Athlete - Akhmedkhan Tembotov
Looks like the CRTC is bringing in a new wrestler from Russia. He goes by Han and is 20 years old. He’s won a couple of European Championship golds at the cadet level at 80 kg. Sounds like a good guy to bring in the room. Wonder if there is a chance he suits up for folk. Maybe replace Marcus? -

Scuffle Plans
Maybe a little early, but I have a hard time waiting to watch this team compete. Scuffle is our next event and I thought we could get some discussion going. Lots of good teams there. Anyone know if we’re planning on sending the starters, or what ISU’s squad will look like? -

Iowa Dual Discussion
Rather than overtaking every other thread to talk about this match let’s get it started. This is the week! It’s going to be fun and a great test for the young guys. 125 - Lee fall Terukina. I have no inside knowledge, but reading the tea leaves that Lee will go for this dual. 6-0 Iowa 133 -... -

Grand View Dual at Humboldt
This should be fun. We have 4 tickets and am hoping to make it, but have had sick kids all week so we’ll see. I’ll admit I know next to nothing about Grandview (other than they’re historically very good) or NAIA. Any competitive matches in this dual? Who are Grandview’s best kids? -

Wisconsin Predictions
Whoo, this season is starting out with a bang against #7(Matscouts) Wisconsin. Here is how I see it shaking out. 125 Barnett dec Terukina. Barnett has continually gotten better and is Seth Gross primary workout partner. This will be a very tough match for Terukina. 3-0 WI 133 Lamont dec... -

Wrestle Offs
Dresser just sent an email that they are October 28th 6:30 PM at Lied. They are open to public. What are some potential good matchups? 57 seems very competitive and 74 with Devine/Broderson. What weight are some of the young guys going? Gaitain, Rojas? Interested to see them and Schon. -

Klingman Sleeping on Bastida
Has Kyle Klingman ever watched an ISU match? Not sure given his recent 197 preview. For those without Flo Klingman has Max Dean as the 97 favorite and has contenders of Warner, Buchanan, Elam, and Bonaccorsi. Then in his predictions he does not have Yonger as an AA, but does have Elam... -

Yonger Training with Team USA?
Caught Yonger in this photo of Team USA training on Twitter this morning. The thought of him in the room with all these guys is making it very hard to keep waiting for the season to start.
