Jimmy Cinnabon

Their situations are similar, though Williams has a extensive history of alcohol related offenses across multiple schools where I believe Davis does not. Do we see both wrestlers receiving a similar outcome?

Significantly, Hellickson’s lead assistant during much of Strauss’s tenure was Jim Jordan – the two-time NCAA wrestling champion turned Freedom Caucus congressman and Donald Trump bootlick. While Jordan would register his share of on-the-record denials at the time, a number of former wrestlers say in the film that Jordan reached out to them privately and pushed them to change their stories in hopes of making the scandal, and the growing scrutiny on him, go away. The story bookends a shocking testimonial from Frederick Feeney, a respected wrestling referee who alleges that Strauss pleasured himself as the ref was showering after officiating a meet decades ago. “The next thing I know, I’m feeling his hand on my butt,” Feeney says to camera, choking back the emotion. “It affected me so bad that I didn’t even respond to him, when I should’ve knocked him on his ass at that point. But I didn’t. As I’m walking out [of the locker room], Russ Hellickson and Jim Jordan were both standing there. I looked at both of them and said, Strauss was in there masturbating beside me in the shower. Jim Jordan looked at me straight in my face and said, ‘It’s Strauss. You know what he does.’”

How do you feel about the fact that Bo Bassett will be 20 years old when he starts his career at Iowa?

For the record, I'm all for second (or third or fourth) chances.

Assault and public intoxication are the charges. Apparently this is at least his 3rd alcohol related arrest, with two while he was at Oklahoma State.

Not a good look for the new Hawkeye.

The biggest "problem" with Spencer is he hasn't actually said he wants the job as Iowa HC that Hawkeye fans have ordained him for. He has said he wants to be AD, though.

What hardworking, humble, young man.

I have a hard time seeing Askren being a HC if he truly needs a lung transplant. That is a long long road to recovery.

I.e. who will be the next David Taylor-esque hire who will either invigorate an existing powerhouse program or elevate a second tier program to the upper echelon? Some obvious candidates: Spencer Lee (though he has said he really wants to be Iowa's next AD) Jordan Burroughs Kyle Dake Jason Nolf Yianni D (maybe he hangs it up after being dethroned by a high schooler) Coleman Scott (after being burned by Ok State, he's still a prime HC candidate) Who else am I missing?

1. Duke 2. Jax [possibly 1b with Duke as 1a if he beats Vito] 3. Blaze, true 3rd over Hardy 4. Bassett I wonder how many Nicolls it would take to pry Duke away from Penn State?

Yeah, but he spent most of his career at Iowa.

Who are the HWC members on the team? The Lee Woods And about 6 women?

Yes, clearly HWC is the place to be!

Final X has yielded mixed results so far for Penn State/NLWC: Messenbrink gassed and lost to Carr Barr dominated by Hidlay Duke TF'd 10-0 by Yianni Lilledahl dominated by Lee Dake dominated by Valencia Maybe Penn State isn't the juggernaut everyone thought it was?

I can't imagine the revenue apportioned to wrestling would exceed the value of a scholarship...

I thought Stevo finished his eligibility last year.

Or in Penn State's case you can have 30 rostered wrestlers and 6-8 guys who tried to transfer out but didn't find a new team?

But they wouldn't be officially part of the team, right? Since they are outside of the 30 rostered wrestlers...

According to Daniel Cormier, Askren is back home with his family now. https://bloodyelbow.com/2025/06/12/daniel-cormier-provides-major-ben-askren-update-amid-ex-ufc-stars-sad-health-battle/

I assume these wrestlers' college wrestling careers are over then? Or do some of them get to stay on their previous team? I'm thinking about Penn State where there were about 10 guys in the portal and only 3 or 4 of them landed on new teams.

Funky is amazing. T+P and wishing him a speedy recovery so he can get back to ragging on Iowa ASAP.

Rutgers is the obvious choice.

Iowa fans are convinced it has started. Soon Iowa will be #1 again! https://iowa.forums.rivals.com/threads/the-downfall-of-rome-penn-state-edition.474470/
