    Is John Smith

    Depends on if there was any attempt at a cover up. There would have been Title Nine reporting responsibilities in play.

    What do you miss/appreciate about Iowa?

    Iowa nice is a sham. It's the way that insecure Iowans convince themselves that they're better than everyone else. In my experience, it also papers over the judgy and self righteous attitudes of many. As for what I miss-- for me it's watching the tread of a tractor tire as it digs into damp...

    How should the Big 12 play the hand it has been dealt

    Change conference name to the "Big Twelve(s)"?

    Recruits & Transfers

    I've been around this block too many times to engage the hype. I do think Carr will take it to a whole new level--and that's gonna be exciting.

    Purdy mini camp

    Neither Purdy nor Kempt are NFL quarterbacks. Between the two, I think Kempt had the better overall skillset for a college QB. Smarter, even tempered, able to read the game much better. It's all conjecture and amusement of course, but I think with a healthy Kempt instead of Purdy the 2021 team...

    Recruits & Transfers

    Has ISU ever landed a big name from the transfer portal? All these "X is now in the portal" posts are like salting a wound.

    2022 Recruits and their list of schools

    This is superb news! As my past posts demonstrate, I was skeptical that the Dresser and crew would reach this measure of recruiting success. I am happy to admit that I was wrong.

    Transfer Portal

    100% agreed! Indeed, Williams is not subtle about his lack of interest in wrestling. But you more than make up for that.

    Downey's posts WERE the stupidest things I'd ever seen.

    ***NCAA Wrestling Championships (Thu.-Sat.)***

    I think this is right--make the call objective. Year after year it seems the NCAA tells us that refs will crack down on stalling. Then they seem to do the opposite. I have never seen so much hanging on the ankle.

    ***NCAA Wrestling Championships (Thu.-Sat.)***

    Truth. It's more fun to watch videos of barnburner matches from the 80s and 90s than this tournament. Those older matches are much more suspenseful -- even though we already know the outcome.

    ***NCAA Wrestling Championships (Thu.-Sat.)***

    I struggle to name another wrestler ranked so consistently high that owns such a poor record of NCAA performances.

    Are we witnessing the beginning of the end of ISU wrestling? This is a total implosion.

    The Detroit institute of Art is world class. You should see it, and Henry Ford’s Greenfield Village before you leave.

    ***NCAA Wrestling Championships (Thu.-Sat.)***

    Okay. So you're all trashing my posts where I cast the shade of this terrible performance on the coaches. Why? What you describe above is poor coaching. Weight misalignment is poor coaching. Underperforming seniors is poor coaching. A team that perennially craps its pants come tournament time is...

    And we pay top dollar coaches salaries for this?

    Turns out our coach Ironic that At other schools athletes occasionally exceed expectations. Not our thing, I guess. We‘ve had four reasonable chances so far.

    Parker is done. Full stop. Don’t know why it happened, but it did. He may win one on the backside, but such a disappointment.

    Why not the hawkeye symbol for injury? Or a duck emoji for hawkeye wrestler?

    Campbell on ‘22 Spring FB

    Based on player talent and coaching ability the top end for our O-line is "average." Injuries, and anything less than top performance, get us to below average in a hurry. Campbell's mistake was overhyping the O-line in the last pre-season.
