Sunset, I find it convenient you know everything about Iowa issues, but fail to know anything about ISU's. Everyone that likes Hawkeye football, was extremely embarrassed of the actions of a few football players back in '07. If that crap starts happening again, then yes, it would be cyclical, and yes something should be done. Ferentz added a life coach, :mask:, and since, we've had minimal issues. As for the 2nd Ferentz situation, two walkon's got into a shouting match with an off duty officer, who called for backup, after he witnessed one of them break a parking garage gate. As they were shouting, Ferentz's drunka$$ was walking down the street, saw his two buddies, and started yelling at the guy, as well, from a block away. The on duty cops showed up almost immediately and arrested all three. He was wrong for being drunk underage, and wrong for assuming his buddies were in the right, as he knew nothing about the situation. I really would like to know your definition of a criminal, because these two situations, do not define a criminal to me. As for Clayborn, Cyplains, are you suggesting that we should waive his rights as a citizen, because he's a Hawkeye football player. Last I checked, it's innocent until proven guilty in this country, and not just Hawkeye football players, get their trials delayed.

Honest question here: how many posters in this thread follow wrestling? And I mean watch it on a fairly regular basis, not just catch the National Duals and/or NCAAs when they're on.
I do, and have since I was a wee lass. Thanks, dad!

I watch every wrestling match I can and I can say I would stand toe to toe with Metcalf in the bar ... his antics are an embarrassment to the sport. He is to good to act the way he does after most matches.
PS ... I wish Metcalf was on States team.

Classy answers from a classy kid after what he did. At least he gets the part about it being the hawks against the world though. That is right Metcalf.... the entire world hates you.... Boy... he really thinks he is important. lol.

Didn't Keddy refuse to shake hands after his match? I think these acts show disrepect that is indicative of a coming fall. We're going to get these guys at Nationals.
Yes I have to thank my dad as well, I started wrestling in kindergarten and by 3rd grade was going to the youth tournaments around the state in March and April and the summer when I wasn't playing baseball was spent wrestling freestyle. I wrestled all the way through high school. I qualified for state my senior year when the tournament was still at Vets, I was 2 and done though but it was an experience I will never forget with 12,000 to 15,000 people in there.
I watch whenever it is on tv (not much coverage though) and I make it to all the weekend meets in IC but not the Thursday meets as it is tough to get over there by 7 from Des Moines with my job.
Because Metcalf and Keddy were ****** about their matches doesn't mean a fall is coming. There is a chance that Metcalf & Mueller along with Keddy & Ward don't even meet at nationals in the first place.
I'm not saying ISU can't win but I think you are reading too much into 1 match for both. With your logic and the antics pulled by Varner when he was walking off I could say the same about him and he won't make it to the finals where he has been the last 3 years.
Keddy refusing to shake hands now? I think some people look too much into things. He was slow to get up and turn around but shook Ward's hand after a very disappointing match for him.
I agree, I didn't see anything wrong with what Keddy did. Watching live on TV I didn't notice what Metcalf did so I can't comment, but I was a little disappointed in Varner after his match.
Sent Kevin Jackson an e-mail last night. I been a wresling fan for a long time, have season tickets front row center mat. I like what Jackson has done for our program in a short period of time, but I also do not appreciate Varners antics either. Hawk fans won't agree because they are blinded by their success, but EVERYONE in the nation besides them thinks the Iowa wrestlers and coaches are complete classless acts and I don't want our program to turn into any thing like that. Varner in my opinion did exactly the same thing on Sunday that Metcalf has done, and Brands have been doing. Any one close enough on Sunday knew that Brands constantly covered his mouth and was yelling at ISU coaches, refs couldn't hear but I could.
The point is I am willing to take a stand for cyclone fans and say I don't care what Iowa continues to do, I for one will not tolerate my team participating. Iowa has been this way for two decades and their fans love it let them continue on that path. ISU needs to take the high road and put the intensity on the mat, and leave the mat monkey anticks to the likes of the Brands.

Go to the Hawkeye message boards, and you'll see most Hawkeye fans do not agree with the hawk coaches antics. Tom has settled down in the past year or two, but Terry and Zadick get out of line and over the top, and I wish they would chill out. It IS embarrassing, and not all of us like it.
I haven't seen a lot but from what I have seen this is 100% true. Terry is more of a problem than Tom anymore.
This board probably would have exploded if Metcalf did what Gelogaev the 197lber for Oklahoma St did after his match Saturday when he fingered the crowd in front of the cameras, also did anyone else see the Oklahoma St coaches after Oliver beat Dennis?
It's not just Iowa coaches or Metcalf that get carried away sometimes.
