Is Iowa match a Whiteout?

There's been no indication of such. Would it shock me if it spontaneously happened? No.

 

[Shpsu]

Okay I will spontaneously wear white.

@GregPickel Whats the B10 infatuation with Ben Kueter? He's obviously a very, very good wrestler judging by his pretty high national ranking as a freshman. But they're injecting football into it? Yeah, he was a 4-star. But he's not a key football player like he is a wrestler. I get not profiling PSU. But there are no interesting wrestlers at Illinois, Indiana, Wiscy, Minny, Rutgers, MD, or Purdue?

Yeah, why aren't they featuring the dozens of other wrestlers that came to school on a football scholarship?

They act like its never been done before. We've had a few at PSU that did...Johnson, Sefter, Joyner. Others have excelled at both at many other schools: Curley Culp & the Golics come to mind. Heck Haselrig didn't even play football & he became an NFL all pro. Gable got a tryout with the Bills. Its not unusual. You'd think they cured cancer. To be clear, I don't have a problem featuring Kueter per se. It's more that he's from Iowa. Exaggerating but isn't he like the 4,856th Iowa wrestling guy profiled? Hey, whatever huckster Brands can do to push Iowa's line-up to 100% portal guys.

Some people go looking for cow and then complain that their shoes smell.

Mike Reid… PA’s Jim Nance was pretty good at both.
