I can't believe people are beating up on you. Oh wait, yes I can. lol

This board HATES it that I'm a wrestling fan first, an ISU fan 2nd, and happen to have a couple of fairly well connected Iowa fans in my family. (Who I will admit sometimes screw with me.) So I don't necessarily have the cardinal and gold glasses that many have here.

Don't forget it all started when I joined the board and many of my posts were about how awful KJ was, and how he was taking our program down the crapper. I was immediately branded an Iowa fan because of it. Heck, one guy even said I was anti-KJ because he's black. It was really something. And even more funny that I was 100% right.

On the other hand, I was over the moon with excitement over the KD era and am still an ardent supporter of the staff. They aren't perfection but they are pretty damn good, and we are lucky to have them.

So you're telling me that my 35-0 ISU over Iowa dual prediction is "optimistic" and that I have "cardinal and gold" glasses on?? Typical Hawk fan

Cool your jets there, NEI. I and many like me simply read your posts along with everyone's else's. If there's something to debate, we do. I agree with you as often as not -- and I never go to bed fuming that I gotta get that NEI.

Another guy caught between 97 and HWT
He won the 215 title at state as a junior this year. What makes you say he couldn’t end up a decent sized HWT after a year or two in a college weight room? I don’t know his height but on the surface it seems possible.

He's definitely big enough to grow into HWT. I just can't pass up a chance to b1tc4 about the 97 to HWT gap lol.

Oldest Baeir kid went to Nebraska too. Pretty nice coaching staff they have there for 1A. I wrestled in that conference back in the day lol.
NV’s heavy weight was a good 1A wrestler too. Going to play FB at NW Mo State. My son wrestled against them several times/year. Ashton is less animated, more calm than his dad.
