When everyone had the same inflection in their voice and sounded just like the Brands boys, they always seemed pissed,  mashing dudes face in the mat oob.  It was a moxy thing.   Other teams would fear them.  It doesn't seem like there's an Iowa style anymore.

I listened to the Iowa Hawkeyes radio broadcast of the match.

During the 149 match, when Parco was fading under SVN’s assault, Mark Ironside said, “I know he’s in better shape than that.” He couldn’t imagine an Iowa wrestler being outconditioned by anyone (ignoring the fact that PACE is literally the thing SVN does best).

The entire program is stuck in the 1990s. Coaches, fans, announcers.

Just after 56:00 in for the start of the discussion re: Parco.

During the 165lb match, Ironside seemed genuinely perplexed by a normal wrestling move.

Paraphrasing, from 1:35:38 or so. Second MM scoring sequence:

“They’re so good at re-shots. I guarantee they practice that on a regular, regular, regular basis. They all do it. … it’s not defensive wrestling, either. It’s like they’re using it as offense.”

With new stalling rules it doesn't work anymore.  

When did that happen? I remember Iowa was famous for locking up and pushing forever.

Well they used to just push guys out just to get the stall calls.  Rules were changed so the guy pushing, if thats all he was doing, could get called for stalling on the pushout.  I'm thinking that was ~10 year ago but I'm too lazy to look it up.

Iowa used to always have superior conditioning, not anymore.  I suspect all the injuries that were adding up over the last few years has caused the brands to soften up on the intensity of practices causing them to lose their conditioning edge.

Blood stoppages and video reviews are a couple examples of changes that have slowed the pace. Oh and the trick headgear that won’t snap.

Yeah, but these just replaced untied shoes, "run the injury time" lasso-finger, and unpenalized backing out of bounds. I'm sure Delfino could fill a catalogue with effective tactics.

When talking about Iowa style are we talking about coaches attacking refs, other coaches, flipping refs off, taking your shoe off and running onto the mat.

 

why don’t the get top recruits?

Never happened, but you just keep on beating that dead horse. It is all you are good at on here.

It has been that way forever.  1988 NCAA finals here.  Check out Coach Lorenzo here at about :27.

Same. Barrel chested brawny dudes without much technique that just pushed their opponents around until they got annoyed enough to miss their one takedown attempt in the whole match. That's my memory of Iowa style
