    Last Girl in Iowa Boys State Wrestling Championships?

    Reanah Utterback This is a story from Cody Goodwin of the Des Moines Register, but the link is on USAToday website, so no subscription is needed. Basically, she's the only girl out for wrestling at her school (Sigourney-Keota) and they have no program sharing deal with another district. Rather...

    Any New Iowa High Schools Coming in the Future?

    Ankeny created Centennial in 2013. Iowa City created Liberty in 2017. Waukee created Northwest in 2021. Any talk of more new high schools opening in growing districts? I see Southeast Polk, Johnston, and Linn-Mar BEDS (grades 9, 10, and 11 enrollment) are in the 1700-1800 range. Don't know if...

    Financial Support - C-RTC vs Ath Dept

    Can someone explain the difference in providing financial support to the wrestling program via the RTC versus going through the athletic department? For example, what how exactly does supporting the RTC help the program, rather than making a wrestling-specified donation to the athletic department?

    Big 12 TV Viewership - Remaining 8 Schools

    I've read and heard a number of people questioning how TV viewership numbers are influenced by which network the game is placed on, what time of day the game takes place, whether Oklahoma or Texas is involved, etc. and began to wonder what influences some of these items have on the numbers. So...

    Dresser's 1st NCAA Champ

    Back when Coach Dresser was first hired, I remember conversations on here about concerns that elite recruits may be wary of joining a team led by a coach who had never taken a wrestler to the top of the podium. It was just something that got kicked around - not a major worry. I have no idea if...

    Roofing Contractor in Ames Area

    Does anyone know of a roofing contractor in the Ames area who is willing to take on a small job? We have a small, fist-sized hole in our roof (it's patched for now) from the derecho storm back in August. Two separate roofing contractors have agreed to do the work only to back out later with no...

    Snowbirds

    In various threads I've read of people spending their winters in the South. How does that work from a living arrangement standpoint? Do you buy a condo and only live their for 3-4 months? Do you rent? Timeshare? RVs? This is something my wife and I might look into in another 10-15 years...

    SyFy Channel - TBT Xena Marathon

    SyFy channel is showing a marathon of Xena Princess Warrior every Thursday in April - enjoying a few episodes today. We used to watch this all the time - Lucy Lawless was awesome! This is great bad TV. Xena and Hercules as well. Man, I miss those shows. Any other Xena fans out there?

    Upcoming Arizona State Dual

    Looking ahead a little bit, but was wondering what everyone's thoughts were on our chances against the Sun Devils on Saturday. Personally, I think we have a shot, but need things to fall in place properly. Mackall and Small need to be at their best - those two matches are winnable. Parker...

    Nov 17th Dual vs Bucknell

    Anybody have any thoughts about the upcoming dual on Sunday? Looks like Carr will have a good match at 157 (if he wrestles?) as Bucknell's Zach Hartman is a returning NCAA qualifier. Bucknell has another returning qualifier at 197 in Drew Phipps (FYI-he was eliminated from the tournament last...

    Coach Dresser - CEO

    I remember seeing an article when Dresser was first hired at ISU where he was described as a "CEO-type" coach (maybe he described himself in that way). I didn't realize at the time how important that was for this program and how badly ISU needed this type of an individual as the head coach...
