Saturday Morning Session

I hope you're right Cyclonestate78. I have no respect for the Iowa wrestling program, mostly because of the psycho way he and his wrestlers often act. But that makes it even more frustrating if they get it done on our backs. I love Cael and I believe he will make us a big winner.
I couldn't agree with you more. I remember the days when it was the state of Florida that took so much grief for their universities being a haven for these lawless programs where criminal athletes were welcomed with open arms. Now we have the U of I to thank for building that reputation for the state of Iowa.
Our wrestlers just look so small compared to most opponents in their same weight class. I know asst. coach Hartung handled strength/conditioning before he left last year. Do we miss him that bad?
Are you really going to make it necessary for me to go get links to all of the stories on the Iowa wrestlers that have been arrested in the last year? I am sure it wouldn't take me long to find several articles since you seem to be unaware of their football-like issues at the U of I.
Oh, you mean the one that is suspended indefinitely and will never wrestle at Iowa...Perry get arrested last year for public intox and he graduated.....
That's two guys that are no longer involved with the program...how about M*, Metcalf, Borschel, Keddy, Erickson, Tshirt, Slaton,etc. etc. etc.
For every bad apple there are a dozen standup kids that work their butts off everyday on the mat and in the classroom.
Then they get some jagoff like you that wants to lump them in with some football players, etc.
This thread has become unbearable. This is a RESULTS THREAD. Shut up about the Brands is a punk, Iowa kids go to prison, ISU kids are the classiest kids ever, I don't care. This is a RESULTS thread. If you aren't talking about the WRESTLING TOURNAMENT, go to a different thread.
Reading this last page = avoiding this thread. It was a disappointing finals. Let's root for the guys left and move on.
EDIT: What sodakjoe said above.

So for those of use that arn't really good at understanding wrestling: about where are we expected to finish?
Having ISU and Iowa fight for the title with a few new schools is only better for the sport, IMO. The fact that OSU still has a good shot to win it may help the sport start to grow again.
Thanks - that's close to what I had put together....
So we are going to have the #3 wresting team in the nation and there is a meltdown starting? I can't wait for the day for use to be upset with the bball team or football team being #3.
Guess I don't know enough about it, but #3 seems pretty good to me. Sounds like we had a chance to do better but didn't. I think I've heard that several times this year so not sure why the shock now.
We're pretty much gonna get 3rd at this point, which is where we were ranked coming in. It's a little disappointing because we had some good chances to pull some upsets, but our wrestlers came up short.
