Iowa / Isu
- Thread starter WDMHawk72
- Start date
Stand by my post. He quit wrestling on the edge and gave up bonus.
ISU earned the win. Iowa earned the loss. Sad, but true. Drake and PK need to be better. 141 and 157 are holes right now. Those two weights need serious improvement somehow or by someone new.
They threw a brick late (almost certainly intentionally). That should be deemed to be a lost challenge.
My point stands.
Any more brick fvckery resulting in a lost challenge, denied challege, etc gives the opposing wrestler 1 point.
I here you loud and clear, sandusky.
That played a small part but Iowa was loaded during this period of time. If you recall, they actually got top recruits during this period of time. Lol. Oh and the only one to win a title was Spencer.
I feel like our wrestling teams over the last couple of years are comparable to the Iowa football teams when Brian ferentz was the offensive coordinator.
Caliendo is our cooper Dejean but without him, we do not generate much offense.
Maybe our AD puts in a metric where we must have a first period takedown in 50 percent of our matches or we have a complete overhaul of the coaching staff.

TNT’s failure to get rid of our yes men assistant coaches is on them for sure!! Also why keep both Tom and Terry, they’re the same f#%^#*%g guy!!! I’ve been a season ticket holder for 25 years and this year said no more. Transfers at half our weights with no loyalty to Iowa was the last straw for me. I know this will anger the apologists but I’m old and I can’t take this 
anymore!!!
anymore!!!Props to Dresser on using the lung timeout fir Gaitan.
Use the rules to your benefit.
He's still a POS, tho.

We like our guys baby.
But actually, the guys are fine. The coaching isn’t. Big time pedigrees up and down the lineup. Recruiting has never been the only problem with Iowa and until the right people understand that and are willing to do something about it, the slow decline will continue.
It’s 2025 and TNT are still trying to run HB Dive out of the I-formation 40 times a game. Wait, which board am I on???
Iowa transfers went 2-3 (Peterson, Caliendo; Bailey, Williams, Endene).
ISU transfers went 2-2 (Zerban, Elam; Poulin, Dean).
In transfer-vs.-transfer matches, Iowa went 1-2.
I'm not surprised or particularly upset by the outcome. We knew it would be close. It was an entertaining dual, with good wrestling from both teams. Peterson showed more offense. Block wrestled with confidence and gave himself the opportunity to win. Caliendo looked good. Kennedy & Ferrari both took 100% of the shots in their matches.
Iowa actually has an above-average team this year (100+ point potential), but so do five other teams (PSU, Ohio St, Ok St, Iowa St, Neb). Iowa will probably end up 4th, as usual. Now you not only have to win the recruiting battle, you have to win the transfer battle. My opinion on how Iowa is doing on those fronts didn't change based on today.
Kudos to ISU.

Says the poster who visits only after big meets and tournaments.
Another big problem is for the few apologists left one of the arguments is well we’re definitely the 2nd best team every year and while most of the time that isn’t true now it really isn’t true.
It’s a pretty big deal if you’re not black. Jesus Christ get lost.
Without looking I know you full on like vhs' comment
At this point, the only sure fire AA's are Caliendo and Ferrari.
Likely AA at 133, 174....but not a lock at either
Good chance at 125, 149, 197 & Hwt
No shot at 133, 157
Could see IOWA anywhere from 4th to 8th
Hopefully someone hijacked his account.again. But I can’t believe he thought it was OK to post that, even in jest.
The Hawkeye wrestling club results are atrocious. Very little expansion of athletes outside of the Hawkeye collegiate program. Ask any high school recruit who Daniel Dennis is and very few will know.
The credit goes to Gaitan with some hellacious grip strength on that last ride.
Gaitan is a counter wrestler. Probably has never taken a legit shot in his life.
Kennedy was gassed by the start of the 3rd period. I don't want to use the "he was sick" excuse, but something was off today.
It sure did. He quit and really didn't require anything other than taking a simple step to not get majored. Cut his *** now and be done with it.
You can always tell when you guys get sensitive lmfao
You can always tell when you guys get sensitive... about the multiple sexual assault stuff lmfao.
He actually said that?
Of course he did. Nobody should be surprised with this result in any way. It was a tossup from the start, and Iowa State finally got one to go their way, so give them some credit. Iowa got exactly what they earned as a Team.
Toughest schedule in D1 wrestling creates the possibility.
To be fair both wrestlers got lungers. Could be argued that the breather should have helped PK get out.
Nope just calling you out since you cant lose with dignity lol but you do you
She will read it right after she gets your Pizza Bites out of the microwave.
TnT should be able to coach Iowa until they are ready to retire and have Nelson take over the program.
Still cracks me up that during the match, every 3rd post here referred to stalling calls, or the lack thereof. Y'all refuse to move on from that way of earning points, yet you blame the coaching staff and wrestlers after a loss. Iowa got out-wrestled, simple as that.
Watching it live, I was surprised Dresser thought the lung timeout was a good idea given Kennedy looked gassed halfway through the match.
