Have Iowa wrestling fans ever booed their own team at Carver?? I’ve only had season tickets since 2013 and I don’t recall it ever happening. Did it ever happen at the end of the Zalesky regime??

Penn State fans booed one of their wrestlers a couple years ago.
You’re bat shi$# crazy. How many times have you been to SC to watch a PSU match? I’ve been a season ticket holder long enough to have seen 12 NCAA National Championship banners raised to the rafters in Rec Hall. Never, never, NEVER, have I heard ANY PSU fan boo one of our wrestlers.

I visit your message board occasionally, just for amusement and entertainment. It never disappoints.

I love it when PSU fans just tell everyone they are bandwagon jumpers.... They only Boo Olympic Champions.....

I think you’re confusing when they booed Burroughs. Which was bad, but not booing someone on their NCAA team at an NCAA meet.

If I’m wrong, you’d need to prove it.
You're wrong they booed one of their college guys. do a Google search and you will probably find it pretty easy. I'm not doing it for you.

Bandwagon jumper??? Huh?? If the Olympic Champion you’re referring to is Burroughs at the Olympic Trials, yes he was boo’d. He wasn’t exactly innocent though. Nor was his coach, Manning. Childish behavior by all parties, including the PSU fans.

If you weren’t booing Brian Ferentz at Kinnick at the end of whatever that experiment was, I’d say you weren’t an Iowa fan. It happens. 🤷‍♂️
This isn’t the wrestling board. Football is a team sport. Individuals take the mat for the wrestling team. I suppose an Iowa wrestler could hear some boos if they get stalled out, but they round be a rarity, imo. Nobody is booing the team or coaches.

That’s why I was asking. I’d never seen it at Carver in my years of having season tickets. Everyone has seen it at Kinnick.

You also have a lot more fans who think because they played football in high school they know more than the coaches. Wrestling fans, in my opinion, whether they competed at a high level or not, tend to understand what it takes to get to this level. Someone could get teched tonight and there is a better than average chance that will happen, I doubt there will be anyone booing as long as the person gives effort. If the person flat out quits - then maybe and deservedly so.

Why some of you PSU fans, who follow a team that is currently lightyears ahead of Iowa, feel the need to come onto an Iowa board to defend your championship caliber team I will never understand.
Enjoy the winning while it lasts.

In the 90s we had a wrestler get stalled out (or damn close) against isu. IIRC there were some boos that night.

It's rare but it has happened. We prefer to save our boos for the opponent, but lackluster effort (there were a few last weekend) could earn the ire of the crowd tonight!

On a bigger note, can we please retire the woo thing? Absolutely the worst!!!

I did a Google search of "penn state wrestling fans boo their own wrestler" and it didn't spit out what you are contending. So, do you have another suggestion on how to easily find it or would it be OK if I just continue to consider you full of ****?
It happened but will be harder to find now I guess since you guys booed Jordan Burroughs also

i have to say something...

i see a lot of (fair weather) fans on hear saying they are disinterested, dispassionate, or less supporting of an Iowa wrestling program that is perennially Top 1-5 in the nation.

i don't get it. if you love a program/team, that's some nancy ****.

it says more about you than the program.

you're not a fan, you're a frontrunner.
