Interesting matches in Humbolt
Great event. The gym was packed and there was some good wrestling. David looked great & may win another title this year, but we also have to not get ahead of ourselves with the level of dominance expectation. Just a few weeks ago, he beat Peyton Robb in SV after a last second takedown. Deakin is... -

Cy-Hawk Dual
I wanted to make sure I was reading things correctly so I went back and checked. Post #671: A hawk fan brought up a $300,000 condo. It was a made-up example they were using to tell people to either have an example of wrong-doing or quit making stuff up. Post #673: Then crabs actually looked up... -

Cy-Hawk Dual
I am not missing the point. I just think some people are doing a little more than mocking and are truly worked up enough to research too much into Marinelli and his wife. He has been there 6 years. And now, just randomly looking into their financials? Yes, that's very odd. Fan bases get... -

Cy-Hawk Dual
No it isn't. Just like the PSU slush fund that Iowa talks about all the time is an excuse for why PSU has dominated until the recent couple of seasons. Nate Carr is the RTC coach because it helped get David. I am glad Marinelli's wife has a good job where she can help a top wrestling program... -

Cy-Hawk Dual
Ummm. When a thread has reached 2 pages of talking about Alex Marinelli & his wife's income, how they could pay for a house, whether it was a big down payment and not.... the board has reached a whole new level. Maybe time to shift focus to what's coming up for the team? Looking at who we... -

Cy-Hawk Dual
I don't care if fans want to call it a rivalry or not because of the lack of W's for the Cyclones, but you could tell the hostility was there between the teams and coaches. I haven't seen something like that since the 2009 season at Hilton between these 2 teams. They didn't like each other then... -

100% agree with this. Does it suck? No doubt. Is it on the coaches? No. Unless the team is competing for a title or a trophy, which ISU is not, coming back for an extra year is to try to end your career on a high note and achieve a goal/dream. Parker doesn't need to make himself miserable and... -

2022 Recruits and their list of schools
"The top programs" is a key. Iowa State currently is not in that category. Building up to that position takes a long period of time. Even look at programs like PSU & Iowa: when you take out starters at certain spots, they don't have a back-up that would be competitive on a national level. There... -

Okie St Dual
What match results from today truly surprised anyone? 125-- Got majored by him last year. 133-- Small is a back up. Over performing all year. Gave up a big move. 141-- Did his thing. 149-- Back up. Out matched vs a guy who should be the new #1. 157-- Did his thing. 165-- Up a weight, against... -

Cliff Keen Invitational December 6-7
I have zero inside information regarding the injury. But, from my persepective, t didn't look good when it happened, and it seemed to limit him a little bit during the quarters. If it was bad enough to sit the semis, then I see no rush in getting him back in the lineup, especially with a more... -

Cliff Keen Invitational December 6-7
This tournament = a mixture of good and bag for the team. 125: Needs to finish out with a win. Semi match was a toss up. Would have liked to have seen it be closer. Loss to Prata a bad loss. Good win over Courtney for 5th. Like someone said, spent too much time riding in his losses when... -

Vegas pre-seeds
I read it the same. More of he is out until the 2nd half of the year (maybe more). Overall, no idea how ISU will fit into the team standings. Top 5 would be very good with the field as set, without Gomez. Finalist possibilities with Mackall, Degen, and Carr. As mentioned above, huge... -

ISU vs Iowa
Iowa looked Great last night. Totally dominated Wisconsin. 3 Big matches in the dual -- 133, 165 and 285, with Iowa winning each of them. They only gave up 2 takedowns all dual I believe. They dominated Wisconsin more so than the Cyclones. Gross is going to need to make major adjustments in...
