He did hire Brands and that was a great move. Iowa's slippage is mostly because of how good PSU has become and now OSU. Those are recruiting hotbeds and sleeping giants that have been awoken. Thanks Pollard for waking up PSU and letting them have the next Gable.

So many sleeping giants out there.

So because JP was probably fiscal, it's his fault Iowa can't beat some other schools? If you can't beat 'em, blame their old boss?

Iowa currently ranked 7th. Those 6 sleeping giants have really hurt them

I don't know if anyone has The Athletic membership, but Stew did tease an Iowa mention in '18. Maybe he thinks they've got a good chance.

Don't forget Michigan and Missouri

Awesome for the Michigan and Missouri Cyclones. How many points will the ISU Cyclones get in their match against Iowa?

How many of those six other teams have won National Titles in the 2000s?

Wednesday is your reach day I take it.

How is that a reach. ISU fans are notorious for living vicariously through Iowa's opponents when their own team in that sport isn't good at all.

We could use a lot of help on this team. Not sure a kid who can't defend from a bad conference is going to help anything just like Beverly hasn't

Yes you could-how bad you getting beat tonight? What’s the spread?

Dude, you brought up how good Ohio State and Penn State have become. Other people said, hey don't forget about these other schools too.
Hell, you haven't even mentioned Oklahoma State.

Step back from the trigger.

Google doesn't work in the trailer park?

3 I would assume (Penn State, Ohio State and Oklahoma State)

Those other teams haven't passed Iowa. OK state is probably even. OSU and PSU are the top dogs right now and no one else is really close ATM.

Lol what?

Probably win two matches I would guess?

WVU -9.5

Honest question because I don't know, did Barta hire Brands?

Wiki says " In the spring of 2006, Tom Brands returned to the University of Iowa as head coach."
"Barta became Director of Athletics on August 1, 2006."

Oklahoma State has yeah. They have two runner ups in the last 5 years to Iowa's 1 including the most recent one

Just funny to see a fan trolling a fanbase of an elite Wrestling Program when their own is in the gutter ATM.

 

[iahawks]

So that is passing up another school now? Ok State and Iowa are both in the same boat. Both looking up at PSU and OSU. They are pretty even as far as where they are at competitively on the mat.

 

[YeahBuddy]

Bump for @YeahBuddy

Iowa's football program has been really good under KF, cant fault Barta for that contract.

Fran has almost as good of a win percentage in CHA as Johnny Orr did in Hilton and has won a much higher percentage of his conference games so he cant be all that bad.
