    Almost lost to Bimington!!!

    Bing has a pretty solid program. We're in a transition right now. Well, more like, I HOPE we're just in a transition.

    So much for ISU being the Olympic wrestling mecca

    Uh...I just did. Your comments that there couldn't possibly be 2 people with the same username are ridiculous.

    Iowa vs Penn State

    Ramos is Iowa's 133 pounder and he beat Long today. Iowa knocks off top rated PSU 22-13. LMAO.

    So much for ISU being the Olympic wrestling mecca

    I know. It is totally crazy to think 2 people from Iowa with the same last name might just be wrestling fans. LMAO

    So much for ISU being the Olympic wrestling mecca

    Does everyone realize Iowa is also an Olympic Training Center? And was before we got one in Ames? Seems like a lot of people think this gives us some huge advantage or something.

    How Long Before Our (CF) Wrestling Experts Get Worried?

    That is true for the most part but they are doing exactly what they should be doing--whipping up on that level of competition. Our guys are doing well against THE SAME level of competition but not as well as their guys. So you want to downgrade Iowa's kids...what does that say about our true...

    How Long Before Our (CF) Wrestling Experts Get Worried?

    Do the rest of us--people who DO CARE and are posting on a WRESTLING MESSAGE BOARD--a huge favor and leave us alone, please.

    How Long Before Our (CF) Wrestling Experts Get Worried?

    I don't think the issue is that we aren't going to be better. We ARE going to be better in the very near future. I'm just not confident we are going to be a top 5 level team in the next few years. Everyone wants to point out our "young talent" but I don't think our "young talent" is on par...

    Dan Gable Traveling Trophy? Really?

    1. Why does Cael have more respect for ISU than Gable? Personally, I think the opposite is much, much more true. 2. Why is Dan Gable a "tool"?

    Keeping up on ISU/IOWA Wrestling

    Complain about how Iowa wrestled all you want, but they are actually younger than we are. They started 4 sophs and 3 frosh. We started 6 juniors and seniors. On top of that, I think they have more studs waiting in the wings than we do. The staff needs to keep plowing ahead in recruiting and...

    Dan Gable Traveling Trophy? Really?

    I can't see Iowa agreeing to that. Gable experienced tremendous success at both schools. He doesn't hate ISU in the least. If he hates ISU so much, why is he a donor? Yes, he favors Iowa. Well guess what? He has spent half of his life working for Iowa and is currently employed by...

    Who Is Red-Shirting This Year?

    He's a full time student already so grey shirting is out of the question at this point. I'm OK with biting the bullet this year and not wrestling Finch, Gadsen, etc.

    Will somebody please buy UNI something better than 8MM Cameras?

    KWWL is a local station that only does a handfull of live sports broadcasts each year. The next closest alternative is to not have it on TV at all. It wasn't too long ago that it wasn't. Wouldn't that be fun?
