    IHSAA State Wrestling 2024

    I grew up wrestling in small town Iowa and now live in NJ. I can see both sides of this. * It is cool to see the small town rally around the 1 or 2 kids who make it every couple years. * However, I'm not sure multiple classes really make that much difference. Even today you have small...

    General Sickness

    I had to fact check this because I clearly remember being told that I may 'outgrow' asthma and I also did. Had a lot of problems in my teens that eventually faded. I do still have a rescue inhaler, but haven't used it for years and it's probably inpotent by now. According to the EPA...

    IHSAA State Wrestling 2024

    I'll give him some credit. Most kids would have quit at that point. He kept fighting, got the reversal and damn near got the tilt to win it all under 10 seconds.

    2024-2025 Recruiting Thread

    Not 100% sure but I thought he was Steve's kid. Either way, hope we're after him. Only a sophomore. Though after I posted, it seams Pearson pinned him earlier in the year. No idea if it was close and got caught or how it actually went down.

    General (non-ISU) Wrestling Twitter/News Thread

    No way Iowa gets rid of TnT though they should. If they ever do they will bring in another Hawk. If they were smart they'd send Spencer to PSU for a couple years to learn the right way to do things and then bring him back. Don't know that would work either though because the ones that have...

    Dual this week (WVU Friday 2/2)

    Decent performance by Sam. Is Jacob Frost hurt? Thinking I don't recall seeing him much in opens this year either.

    Dual this week (WVU Friday 2/2)

    The new redshirt rules have always been confusing to me, but I thought there was something about the 5 'free' matches were only for first semester. We wouldn't burn Naak's redshirt for this would we?

    Thanks for proving me wrong Big Rob

    You really like to troll don't you? Start with a mea culpa and then diss ME?

    Stop underutilizing Ward

    Honestly, the production that TJ is getting out of both BRE and Ward given their very obvious basketball limitations is nothing short of amazing.

    Roll Back 2 Years - Post ISU Expectations of Purdy

    I can't say that I actually gave it a lot of thought, which probably says more than my actual answer. I'd guess it was somewhere between 2 & 3. Practice squad for a couple years and hopefully get a shot at latching on to a backup role somewhere. As great as the story is, there is a certain...

    OU/Okie St Thread

    125 - So frustrating. He's got a great shot, but simply can't finish. 133 - Evan showed me a lot. Simply got out-horsed by a 26 year old man, but didn't give up. 141 - Disappointing. I know Jamison is pretty good, but Ech is much better and really controlled the match. Another instance of...

    # of ISU players still in he playoffs

    I think I asked elsewhere, but not sure the answer. Has ISU ever had player on a SB winning team? It's surely happened, but I can't seem to recall one off the top of my head. I know Keith Kreple (sp?) scored a TD in Eagles loss back in the day.

    What do you prefer for NFL games?

    These days, NFL is mostly about Fantasy Football for me. During the season I watched Red Zone w/Scott Hansen almost exclusively. It is rather painful going back to regular broadcasts with these announcers.

    Super Disappointing

    It dawned on me Friday morning that I hadn't seen anyone making posts/predictions and almost started a thread. Then I looked up the time. Damn...

    I'll gladly eat crow...

    Same. I'll go one further. Even when up 14-0 I gave us little chance to pull off the upset. It wasn't until the final minute that I truly believed. Shame on me.

    You could be right, but I just don't think he's smart enough to pull that off.

    Crazy Stuff Your Pooch Has Eaten

    We have a fridge with a freezer on the bottom. Took the family out to eat one night and when we came home, found that the dog learned to open the freezer. After he proceeded to gorge himself on ice cream we presume he got full, so he started 'burying' food under couch cushions, in houseplants...
