Yea, while they're busy pointing fingers, their lineup has some interesting body types.

Arnold at 5'7 184 was extreme, but now he is over 200 lbs? That's professional bodybuilder dimensions.

Their potential 157 is a shorter version of Arnold that is even more freakishly jacked. In his case it's fairly obvious what going on.

Then there is Kennedy who was a career 165 that is now having his best success after being forced up to 174. I personally would like to give him the credit for working hard but according to the way they view things any guy that moves up and has success is on steroids.

Barry Sanders pre-draft measurables.

If you look at the last few years, most Iowa wrestlers have not achieved much success, at least to the level that is normally expected from them. However, I don't recall any cheap shots in social media coming directly from Iowa wrestlers. Any talk of roids or other illegal performance enhancement methods is coming from the Iowa fans, not the team.
Eh, Marinelli and Warner were all too quick to jump on the Kasak Trashing bandwagon right after NCAAs.

We don't throw beer at their black athletes, and why stoop to their level in this manner either?

Allegedly PSU is working with a 15 million a year budget so the playing field is still not even according to Bob.

Also, Ira Lubert is apparently is uncle
Also he's replying to a dolt who doesn't know PSU Athletics is fiscally separate from the academic side of the university.

Just some musings from an old fart that's long past his prime but it seems to me that our millionaire is more frugal with his spending than Iowa's millionaire is.
I say let Bobby boy keep throwing good money after bad. If he's happy with his ROI that's all that matters.

Again, it’s amazing that they know everybody else’s inner workings …

My bi-monthly reminder that even Iowa insiders don’t think Bob met up with Ira more than once, ever.

I hand those out to crying evictees. My husband is sick, I lost my job. Boo hoo! I spent 900,000 dollars on Parco & Teemer for 1 point at Nationals and you don’t see me crying. GET OUT!
Yes, but Bob you cry damn near daily about the unfairness of PSU wrestling superiority.
Better coaching
Better recruits
Better rich guys

And on and on. Oh boo hoo, boo hoo.
😃😁

Yeah, but I dry my tears with twenty dollar bills. That’s right, twenty dollar bills. Then I pass my tear soaked cash out to hawk recruits because those guys aren’t making bank like our poached guys. The kids that have a couple years of development getting coached up somewhere else deserve it. Recruited guys can take those soggy 20s and buy gas station hot dogs for lunch while the transfers and I dine on catered Casey’s pies. Peasants!!

Yeah but are you helping out with the medical bills after your naive recruits that you poached from other programs end up undergoing multiple surgeries and post-surgery rehabilitation?

I dont know if Ira is more frugal, but I'd bet the people spending his money are light years more intelligent than the ones spending Bob's.

More sour grapes from Slumlord Bob. The bitterness is understandable considering his overall poor ROI with buying transfer wrestlers. Referring to Cael:

He did a nice job talking down to (of) school custodial staff in another post. We ought to get Carl on the case …

(They like saying Carl there)

It's amazing that the University of Iowa hasn't yet told him to shut up.

Or maybe they have, and he won't listen. On brand if so.

Either way, great entertainment for us.

I hope this dysfunctional Iowa lasts forever. Their disdain for PSU is the only thing they think about 24/7.

Bob since 2011 watching Penn State kick Iowa’s head in (but at least we found someone he despises more than a single mother who can’t make the rent - Cael):


Maybe I'm wrong, but I think Slumlord Bob was referring to Ira with that post.

Of course, he probably thinks the same of Cael.
