So just ignore all the posts where people are making comments and attacking me? Those posts aren't on subject either. What about someone who made a Corbys Mom user name ? Just curious how those are being handled.

Good grief dude. Stop it. When the entire community tells you they believe you are being needlessly annoying it is almost always not the community's mistake.
As a favor I would like to ask you to just try and be an informative contributor that simply participates.
I guarantee if you were to choose that path the swipes at you would diminish.
100% what he said.
Very few people here really dislike you here and that is only because you post like a fan boy way more often than you do a knowledgeable poster, Iowa fan or not it really dont matter, its your fan boy posting that does.
Is English your first language?
I am a couple of ginger ales and jamison orange deep sooooo.
That is an interesting variation, fav ginger ale? Or ever tried say Ginger Beer?
Enjoy your Fourth!!!
Yes. Don't be like MSU. You don't need to argue with everyone. Pick your battles better and more selectivly. You provide good info/discussion when you stick to wrestling so I hope you can tone down the drama some.
Never understood why anyone would ruin whiskey or whisky with ginger ale.
Apple Brandy goes really well with ginger ale. (edit: In Iowa.)

Guys, please keep this thread for Iowa news only.
There are other OT threads available for non-wrestling topics, stories and discussions.

Sipping some Old forester 1870 right now, as i play some poker.
Suck it losers.
Kidding.
Saw this on Intermat (first part is Arnold; 2nd is unknown):
Another wrestler hit a female and knocked her out at a bar in IC a couple of Saturday nights ago. Do not know if the authorities got involved.
No finger pointing or names.

He's gotta be talking about Williams. Saw someone posted his charges were dropped. I believe it was an argument with his girlfriend but nobody was punched. Pushing a bouncer was the original story
100% Williams.
According to some insiders on HR, that seems to be back on track pending Williams fulfilling some academic obligations, but we'll see.
Would not be surprised to see him back on the roster second semester. He wouldn't be the first guy under Brands to earn his way back on the team after getting kicked off (Evans and Marion being the prime examples).
Wouldn't be surprised, but at this point, I am questioning why from the Iowa side. I think this is a reflection of the good things that Tom/Terry bring to the table that don't get acknowledged here - absolutely pointed at myself as well, it is a lot more fun to poke fun at their foibles than extol their virtues. It's not likely he's going to be a guy who is going to be better than much anyone they can bring in at this point, and he'll also be burning another year as he's not starting in 2025/26. But, props to the Brands, and to Gabe, if it happens, it will be meaningful in that there is more to the Iowa wrestling program than just on the mat results.
Brands are a joke. They say they are for the athletes but they are actually for themselves.
So I brought this up over on the Iowa board. Seeking any comments in here.
They seem pretty confident that Arnold can go JUCO for a year and still have three years of D1 eligibility left. To me it seems the issue is more about the eligibility clock being paused than a year of JUCO using a year against competition year count. Is the assumption that all notions of the 5 year clock are out the window? If not, it seems weird that Arnold could sit out from school and competition for a year and lose a year against the clock, but if he goes JUCO and competes it wouldn’t count against the clock.

I think the idea is that eventually, the 5-year clock will just be years spent on an NCAA roster. At the rate it is going, I could see it getting to that. If Arnold does do that, it would be a great test case for how far the ruling goes.
He could -- if he had a shirt year left. But he already used that. Maybe he can use the Nagao 2025 Olympic Shirt in 2026.
HR is nothing if not "creative."
And to think Schalles lost his 3rd post season opportunity because he enrolled for a summer class at East Stroudsburg
I graduated from Penn State and wife from Clarion.
We followed PS and Clarion since the 60's. If I remember right, and remember I will be 78 next week, the 1st year that Schalles wrestled at NCAA's freshmen weren't allowed to wrestle.
I just retired, but if I put my mind to it, I could make 125. So since I wasn‘t on an NCAA roster, it looks like I have eligibility! I actually had a dream about re-joining as a walk on and working out with RBY a few years ago. Looks like it may come to pass.
i hope Gabe finds peace and his calling. That being said, the chances of him becoming an AA at Iowa look to me to be hovering around zero. Some on the Iowa board already have him back on the team this year- despite being dismissed. Those guys have a lot of imagination.
If I recall correctly, Schalles would have been OK except that a coach from another PA school made a big issue about Schalles being at East Stroudsburg for a little while. He did it because Schalles didn't accept his offer to come to his school. Pretty petty for a coach if that story is true.
I'm curious if Iowa's interpretation of the JUCO rules will work. It's worth a shot, they have nothing to lose if Gabe is not starting this year anyways.
Diego Pavia (the linch pin of this ruling) started his career in JUCO, which he says shouldn't start his clock. Mo Endene also had a similar situation, he started at Iowa Central before spending 3 years at Wartburg.
Can you stash an athlete in JUCO to stop their clock? Gabe might be the first to try it as I have not heard of other cases.
If it's ruled you can, a can of worms is opened, this literally gives coaches another eligibility quirk.
Let's say next year, Henckel loses the wrestleoff to Rocco Welsh who drops down. No problem, unenroll Will from Penn State, have him enroll in online classes at Harrisburg community while he still goes to practice as a member of NLWC.

I should have written his 4th post season. He lost in QF as a fresh, won in 72 and 73, but in 1974 he was allowed to wrestle the entire season until the post season. Because he enrolled for 1 week at East Stroudsburg in a summer session his Clarion move was deemed a transfer and he lost a year of post season eligibility.
Really simple answer: if this were permitted, then Cornell would've abused it by now.
That’s awesome, but I’m pretty sure many of us here could make 125 kg if we put our minds to it. I’d need a whole season to get there tho.
