IOWA WEEK!
- Thread starter pish69
- Start date
Pretty sure it's nothing more than Henckel's dad being a really big dude.
Few funny quotes on the Iowa Board:
"Who else took the money and ran?"
"Bailey just needs to do the running at this point"
"Brands when he signed his extension"
Just because this photo makes me laugh...................
It is both 100 percent what he said and also confusing to follow. But I think it simply translates to: His guys are either going to decide to attack and go at their opponent for seven minutes or they'll let the action be dictated to them and be forced to deal with the results of making that choice.
No matter how you feel about him as a coach, one thing is for certain, the sport will miss Tom Brands when he's done.
I would love to see Jason on the PSU staff, soon.
Don't see the coaching staff changing unless Nick Lee wants to move onto new ventures (outside of wrestling) He was basically the first person Cael had in mind to add to the staff when DT took the Oklahoma State job (and everyone knew Jimmy Kennedy was going there) They saw something in him and he has exceeded every expectation so far.
But like RBY and Thomas, Jason knows he's always welcome back to NLWC if he gets tired of the Southwest!
I like the one where Angelo bumps up to 197 and doesn’t get taken down by Barr. Man, I’d love to see that. One of our most active wrestlers, at the top of his game right now, taking down and letting up Angelo.
Of course MS158 would be very confused since he once insisted to me that Barr would never wrestle above 174, based on what he saw watching Barr wrestle his whole (scholastic) life.
Gold, Jerry, gold.
This guy speaks Brands.
Sounds like a bunch of single moms found new apartments elsewhere.
Am I the only person in America that thinks the longer that guy is involved with program the worse they get? Or am I just the only one that has said it?
Btw, I made a comment last week's about Drake Ayala looking like **** and that he's pissed learning Kennedy finally got a cut of the NIL and he didn't get his. I said it kinda tongue in cheek but the more I think about it, as a team Bob and Tom could turn anything into a **** show...
Great example of what the internet actually is…. This news is only a few hours old and I’ve already read Endene:
- took the NIL $$$ and then quit
- never got his NIL $$$
- failed out grade wise
- was injured (neck)
- popped for steroids
- never liked it at Iowa and never fit in culture-wise
- wanted to just spend time with his family

I started trolling Hawk fans years ago that Bob owns Tom. I use to just say it to get under people's skin. Now....not so much.
And that's just from one post by Weh8statehawk. (OK, maybe not lines 2 or 7.)
BTW, ISU makes a ton of sense for Endene. He has spent his entire college career in the state. They will need a 197 next year. And Dresser loves to stick it to the Oranges.
Yup. When Henckel was being interviewed by Marcus and Connor, it was talked about what a giant of a man he is.
Ayala I think has a case of HEW that is being exacerbated when he see what is at his weight class now and realizing 2 years ago, he just had to beat Richie Figs to win a title.
Is this like that commercial where Emmett Smith has a translator as he dances and talks?
As I said, the Nicolls fiasco is the tip of the iceberg. I'm actually glad I am at a conference all day Friday in the PNW to avoid watching the dual in real time. If anything, I hope it shows how badly change is needed. As proud as I am as a fan of the Cyclones and the progress made with the program, I'm embarrassed watching the Hawkeyes and what has happened the last three years.
It’s his second. Poznanski last year, too.
Happy to text you live updates of the dual while in progress
I can totally picture and hear him saying it exactly like that as well.
Cyclone Dad:

Brands pining for the old days when guys were just shooting other hawks or trying to fight teammates parents. Simpler times.
To be fair, the "popped for steroids" post was from Lisa Morales.

It has to be demoralizing for him to know he is .500 in mid January, and he hasn’t even wrestled a bunch of guys who can also (potentially) beat him at the weight class.
Until @Corby'sMom shows up and tells the true unvarnished version I will stick to anonymous internet **** posters
He’s 4-4 and 3 of his next 4 matches are against Blaze, Van Dee, and Davino. He could realistically head into February 5-7 on the season.
Where are you at in the PNW? If you’re anywhere near Bonney Lake, go to the BLT (Bonney Lake Tavern) and ask them to turn one of the TVs to BTN. You’ll find the food there is pretty good and the waitresses aren’t so bad to look at either.
A post on Facebook:
From everything I’ve heard (and I would know), it doesn’t appear that Mo left on his own. He was told he was no longer on the team, and no clear explanation was given for the decision. The lack of transparency and explanation from the coaching staff is quite literally unheard of at Iowa.
Based on my own time around the Iowa wrestling room, I know how confusing Tom Brands can be. His cryptic language and cult-like leadership is outrageous lmao. This situation fits that pattern! The decision doesn’t seem tied to anything in particular whatsoever, and I don’t think he was even given a clear reason for why things ended so abruptly.
If there was any straightforward communication whatsoever, we might understand why a top‑four wrestler in the country was removed from the lineup and potentially prevented from finishing out his season or competing at the national tournament.
Again, speaking from personal experience on this. **** is insane lol
