Maxwell Smart Posted January 17 Posted January 17 It's no wonder Hawkeyes react to comments about their team when the media tells them things every fan wants to hear. Shane Sparks opening was about Tom Brands and what an outstanding job he's doing. Jim Gibbons at the half time break, with the Hawkeyes down 4-1, spoke about the Hawkeye wrestlers with joy and finished with "They're just a great team." CP at flow knows not to knock the program calling them "highly ranked" coming into the dual and then went on to picking PSU to win big. When it was opined preseason that they would lose 3-4 duals this year, Jimmy references took over. It could be 5 and the narrative won't change and either will the chatter.

And you’re just finding this out now? Come on Maxwell I thought you were smarter than that.
fishbane Posted January 17 Posted January 17 They are a great team. They were second at the national duals. They are a top 5 team. All of that is true. They wrestled the greatest team in NCAA history last night. PSU has won 70+ dual meets in a row. They set the scoring record at NCAAs two years in a row. They will have 6 wrestlers ranked #1 next week. Lots of great teams would get dominated by 2026 PSU. 8 hours ago, Maxwell Smart said: Qhen it was opined preseason that they would lose 3-4 duals this year, Jimmy references took over. It could be 5 and the narrative won't change and either will the chatter. They'll lose 4-5 by wrestling the top 3-4 teams multiple times. They are still a great team.
AgaveMaria Posted January 18 Posted January 18 "the media" does not wrestle the matches. Talk & fluff & observations and opinions don't make a team better or worse. Iowa wrestled with the attitude of "we won't be beaten too badly" and it showed. Very little offense and too many got on the mat to take up time & space, not to win. ” Never attribute to inspiration that which can be adequately explained by delusion”.
Maxwell Smart Posted January 18 Author Posted January 18 Jim Gibbon, said. "They're just a great team." Fishbane, writes. "They're still a great team." Great being relative. There's a lot of wrestling left, plenty of time to change the narrative. Let's enjoy the ride with all the young talent coming up.
