As the 'Bon said - tiny sport. Add that it's very conservative which will eat its' own for the sake of dessert. That mindset has proven over the course of centuries to be hyper-destructive to anything be it a person or an ideology pushing against the status quo. Oddly hypocritically given the above second point, Willie, given his personal stances, very correctly pointed out that the sport is on life support more than ever both domestically and internationally. The slackjaws like Mineo will push things forward, but the question will always be "at what cost?" Given the (rightful) impending death of the NCAA, this is all but a foregone outcome for our sport and many others that did not make the right moves. It's a damn shame because our sport teaches the most important life lessons of all no matter the level.

Two wrongs don't make a right, but I appreciate you anyways. Big ass ram noggin just dominating

Yes, yes I am. This Iowa defense has me all sorts of flustered and makes me sick to my stomach.

Ferrari was the top recruit in the country what are you talking about. He picked Iowa, not the other way around. And my feelings about the Focus family are not exactly vague. Lee beat Suriano in HS. But you think PSU won't recruit over someone for a better person? Get ready to speak Nevills-ese buddy. Ayala chose Iowa. Google tells me he was the #5 overall big board recruit, who would get to train with Spencer Lee (again 3x champ, reigning Olympic silver medalist and favorite to win worlds this year) and 3x AA Austin "I eat toes and try to break opponents arms" DeSanto while learning under the guys who coached up Cejudo and Lee. But sure he could have picked PSU who is known for their 125 and 133 prowess (except when they face Fighting Illini and cops and staph). Please stop making me defend Iowa and TnT. I'm begging you... please...

It's not stolen valor I just want a straight answer not this flip-flopping about offseason shenanigans!

Spencer Lee just took home an Olympic silver and is the odds-on favorite to win worlds this year. Buchanan chose, on his own, to pick Iowa and they coached him up to a natty over a (holds nose) very game Focus and a likely 2-3x champ in Ryder (McEnally pending). Ayala has made the finals twice. Not his fault he ran into the buzz saw known as Lucas Byrd, Illinois Athlete Of The Year. Iowa won the team trophy in '21 and would have in '20 as well. Thomas Gilman did nearly all his best work at HWC. Maybe if he stayed there he would not have attempted a merkle costing him potential Olympic gold. Kueter chose wrestling over football in what was likely the most pivotal offseason of his football career, one that could cost him literally tens of millions of dollars if we play the what-if game. The sky is not falling. Iowa is still Iowa. I would gladly take Iowa's results and outlook.

@Husker_Du I finally got around to listening to your PSU podcast and couldn't help but notice you called out my Intermat post and you said "nahhh" But then you posted this after! Hmm.

Pssshh all the Bo Basset news this week proves most men are immature 50 year olds going on 14

Hey Kyle! Never knew we had an all-timer among us!

Slumlord Bob better stop posting and start donating real quick. Did you know that from 2012-2015 there were 172 high $$ amateur athletics donors who mysteriously disappeared along the same stretch of California highway that Dennis hitch-hiked along as he conducted various clinics to collect "beer money" for his broken down truck tent? Did you also know that the disappearances suddenly stopped right around the time TnT "randomly" decided to absolutely abandon 2x reigning world team member Tony Ramos at the olympic trials? Sure, no coincidences there. I've been in the Fox Lake area for a long time and I can tell you for a fact that Jimmy Kennedy is scared of two things: a covid vaccine and crossing Daniel Dennis. Been that way since those fresh animal pelts showed up on his porch after they wrestled off back in HS. Jimmy stayed under 103 just to make sure his fingers weren't cut off. If I were Slumlord Bob, I would be sleeping with one eye open and all the lights on. Probably hire some former Hawkeyes who aren't afraid to shoot in the night even if it's a teammate. Heck, he might even need to get a hired security service that would be willing to do a drive-by Ferrari style. Still might not be enough to tame the Wild Man after losing the golden goose...

Yeah the source is Slumlord Bob. Trust me bro.

Your wrong Bartlett was offered $12 million PER SEASON as long as all 4 brothers committed but they knew dodge ball > no balls and they left Iowa City faster than a Ferrari double husker to there fans

Silver at the toughest weight in the world to break a 20 year drought isn't successful?

I'm throwing a big double husker to anyone who disagrees. It's not dramatic to see the bad in Focus family dramatics.

I feel awful that I walk around each day as an above-average healthy male adult with at least average (probably?) and some/most above-average organs (based on my athletic physio profile over 4 decades) that I will never be able to support others because I happened to miss out on the other end of the genetic lottery with a transmissible chronic liver disease. It is not fair that I have enough physical gifts to stand out, relatively speaking, amongst society but I can never help others if something were to happen to me, much less if my parents or wife or kids needed even something as "simple" as a kidney. No, the unfair part is that one day I will need to be the one asking for help despite all that was given to me. And when you don't just know, but you have to fully reconcile what that means, you know It is absolute bvll*I poop my pants, don't laugh at me*. It is an awful feeling that I wish upon no one else. I hope Askren can get the help he needs. I also hate what that means. There is no god.

Denny Hastert, Republican speaker of the house, was brought to justice. But it's laughable to think the same could happen amiright
