    Re-watched the game and here are some tidbits

    Iowa State has a solid punter who gets great height on his kicks. The coverage on most of his punts were downfield to make the tackle. He had one real short punt and one line drive returnable. I'll take solid hands to catch those high punts over a young speedster all game long. Field position...

    A win is a win, BUT…

    But what? Gritty performance after Iowa State threw every look, gimmick plays, and has some veterans playing that defense well. Iowa State isn't playing untested players and really played an in your face almost dirty football game. Lot of late whistles letting plays go way beyond when a whistle...

    Hearing bad rumors (band)

    I stand corrected and glad the band was in shorts and t-shirts. Someone also mentioned they had access to water/gatorade. The field temp was 141 before kick off as I was in contact with a media person on the field. The heat and humidity has been brutal for many lately and we missed this game...

    Hearing bad rumors (band)

    Kinnick field temp before kickoff was 140 degrees. It saddens me we haven't figured out how to provide Gatorade to band members and that maybe shorts and gold Iowa T shirts with a hat and sunglasses is more appropriate for the band in extreme heat.

    The Brands have silenced the haters

    Basch, VanDeventer, Saylor, Pyles, Chapman, Sherrill, Klingman all have been around talking wrestling with themselves and anyone who would listen for quite a long bit now. Some wrestled, some didn't. People that write for The Mat, Wrestling Media, WIN and Smalls two companies that combined have...

    The Brands have silenced the haters

    Nice, sums up the group I go to Nationals with thoughts. Combine that with a very underwhelming venue.

    Tip of the hat to Penn State

    Im well into retirement and have stood beside Tony, me being 1" shorter. I am physically bigger than Tony at about 6-7% bodyfat. What a human looks like on T.V. and in person is shocking. Side by side I dwarf Caliendo as I outweigh him by well over 35 pounds. I am as lean as him though.

    Tip of the hat to Penn State

    Slow down with the back and forth. Tony C weighed 210 as a high school freshman with a really good strength base, kept working through high school on his size, but he put on close to 25-30 pounds of chub weight to go with his strength. Being a collegiate heavy closer to the 285 side he had a...

    Tip of the hat to Penn State

    Funny you talk Pax River. Spent a good bit in Lusby. John Gamble is fairly legendary and most people have Gamble stories. Powerlifting Magazine had a world renowned photo of him with veins in his trap muscles. About 2-3 years later he was the NSCA Strength Coach of the year. Funny you guys knew...

    Tip of the hat to Penn State

    Ken Leistner DC. I knew Kens wife Kathy also, as she was honestly one of the most physically tough women around. My brother knew Ken through chiro and myself through Art Jones and Nautilus. To say Ken was well known is quite the understatement. I interned under Mike Arthur and the Huskers used...

    Tip of the hat to Penn State

    Take it slow and you will soon be climbing the ladder. I am blessed to have been able to lift for almost 50 years with zero injuries and took 10-14 day breaks periodically to stay healthy. Definite advantage when you are in facilities almost daily anyway. Those genetic traits... We all have...

    Tip of the hat to Penn State

    Nice totals! 1170 raw at 148 nowadays would be just shy of elite. 1982 raw 148 pounds top performers were at 1383. The 165 totals are elite by todays standards and a 480 squat 15 pounds above elite. Gear is a whole different deal. Groins and glutes are not the tears anyone wants. Being around...

    Tip of the hat to Penn State

    So were you a 3-4-5 guy at 165 or elite? What is a "fat" 165 pounder to you? Just curious what that fat 165 pounder would weigh when skinny.

    Tip of the hat to Penn State

    "Ive seen guys put on 30 or 40 pounds in a couple of week and we all know what that is" Your words not mine and you say something along the lines of calling b.s. on here! You are digging your ditch with that statement with a backhoe. Disparage me? I have lived in weight rooms across the U.S...

    Natty’s Roll Call

    I sit within talking distance of Chuck at home meets. 1980 first nationals Howard Harris Oregon State was the outstanding wrestler. Great heavy.
