What is the state of Iowa State wrestling after this disappointing showing?
Any wrestler who says they have never stalled is lieing. Stalling can be a good tactic at times, like 10 seconds left in an NCAA final when you are up by 1. -

What is the state of Iowa State wrestling after this disappointing showing?
The original point to be made about Morningstar is this...it is the NCAA tourney and he was the only one who could go because he compete at big tens; it was his senior; he was never going to get another chance to wrestle in his college career and probably forever...of course he is going to... -

What is the state of Iowa State wrestling after this disappointing showing?
We need to get a good stock pile of guys in the room. If you look at the other top programs, they have AA lining up ready to go. Look at Iowa, they Dennis gets hurt and Moore jumps in and knocks off some ranked guys. Marion started the year 3rd and ends up in the finals. McDonough drops from... -

***Official NCAA Wrestling Weekend Thread***
It doesn't matter how much you hate Iowa, you have to admit what they did this week was incredible. They just set the 10th highest all-time scoring record and 9th highest win margin. In the case of the hodge, they look at the whole year, not just nationals. So to say "he had the better run to... -

Anyone see Shawn Tirrell
Of course Brands gave him a death look, you don't ask him a question like that! Anyone in wrestling knows that. He doesn't admit to owning it until the trouphy is in his hands and in the record books. It shows in his wrestlers, they don't stop until it is over unlike what we have done the... -

***Official NCAA Wrestling Weekend Thread***
Honestly guys, isn't this how we saw it going? Who really thought anyone would compete with Iowa? They came in, did what everyone knew they could, and wrecked it. We obviously had some low points that shouldn't have been, but 2nd is still slightly in reach. Dake seems to allow people to keep... -

***Official NCAA Wrestling Weekend Thread***
Iowa is wrecking it right now. They should knock two more of our guys to the consolations tomorrow morning and long is supposed to lose also which would leave us with only 2 in the champ side if it goes right. Not looking too positive. And I wouldn't be shocked to see Metcalf get bonus points... -

NCAA scoring
I actually have an excel spreadsheet for keeping score. I am unsure of the placement points for nationals at this time but all that needs done is entering in those points in a table. -

Lose Big 12's/Win Nationals
No offense but that is just about as many ifs as you could hope for. If we get 4 of those I would call it a success. I don't think long will even get to see McDonough(I am assuming that is who you are talking about?). Matt looks like he could end up in the finals. Fan can beat Dennis but I... -

You guys need to realize, if brands was the coach at Iowa 5 years ago, he would have gotten those recruits. They wanted to wrestle for brands they didn't care where. So it doesn't matter that they went to VT and then UI, they would have been there anyway and actually wouldn't have lost a year... -

Ok maybe im not a very informed cyclone fan when it comes to football coaches release status, but everything else in that was correct and you know it. Just go back and read the last few pages. -

Official Big 12 Wrestling Championships
I am an ISU fan but it is times like these when i am embarrassed to say so. We got out wrestled today. A good fan would move on and hope to improve from it. Instead, everyone wants to point fingers and blame everyone else for it happening. Its like football...McCarney is sucking so fan call... -

Official Big 12 Wrestling Championships
You really want to point fingers at ward?????????? Get some class. It is a TEAM sport, no 1 person can lose it for the team. If there were 9 champs and ward got 5th, we would be #1. So why dont you blame it on the other 6 for not being 1st. It could be longs fault for losing to a kid he... -

Official Big 12 Wrestling Championships
Not sure what that means but I think it means you don't care for that tourney...then I must say, just because you don't like Iowa or Minnesota, as a wrestling fan you have to realize that tourney has some of the best wrestling in the country. -

May not like him but he is one of the best for the job and it shows. They are looking at a very likely 7-10 in the finals. Could be looking at a record year. -

Why only 5 in Big XII with wrestling?
It all comes down to money people. It is always about money. Why are so many wrestling programs dieing????? Because they dont bring out fans, they lose money, therefor the school says bye-bye. Look at ISU, Iowa, Ok State, Ohio State, Penn State, Minn, and other successful wrestling... -

Why only 5 in Big XII with wrestling?
Did you just crawl out of a hole or somthing??? They are ranked 3rd in the country with an 18-2 record, with their only losses to Iowa and ISU, which i would hope you know that they were supposed to lose. They beat Minnesota worse than we did. They will place very high at nationals. They... -

Why only 5 in Big XII with wrestling?
Honestly, the whole discussion on Texas is pointless. You are all speculating about a program that doesn't exist, money that you assume they would get but have no clue about, the ability/inability to get a coach and wrestlers, their ability to build facilities, assuming they would care... -

ISU host NU tomorrow
I guess what I was getting at was the fact that he looked decent last year and this year just sort of fell off. Was he hurt, sick, or something in the off season?
