  1. That thread on HR reeks of irresponsible speculation. That being said, I'd be ecstatic and wonderfully bamboozled if Cannon, Volk, Alirez, Teemer, Haines, Mesenbrink, and whoever else was mentioned at one point in the thread actually came to Iowa
  2. it's not my style and I think there is a little bit too much "look at me" in our society overall but I think this is also the type of engagement baiting that wrestling needs to become more popular. Besides, if I don't like something, I have the complete freedom of ignoring it. I like Basset as a wrestler, a lot, but I haven't watched a single piece of his social media content and don't plan on doing it until the day he commits to Iowa.
  3. Nevermind. The alleged rumor is that the dirtbag messed with Cass' sister
  4. just insane that he still has 3 years of eligibility left.
  5. Finally got to watch the tournament over the weekend. I'm not familiar enough with the competition to really know how to feel about it all, but Seabiscuit did show a variety of leg attacks that I don't remember seeing from him 2 years ago. Hopefully, that translates to more than a couple of points at NCAAs. I'd be over the moon if he were a finalist
  6. Can that technically be considered pay-to-play?
  7. You could use them to immobilize your sparring partner and whip them until they finally understand what "going 70%" means
  8. Glute ham raise, olympic weightlifting platform, climbing ropes, prowler sleds, a soundproof solo studio for screaming/weeping. I like my wrestlers to focus on the tried and true fundamentals
  9. The latest Ferrari thread on HR exploded to like, 12 pages of nonsense within a day so I didn't bother reading it all but I saw some posts suggesting the older 2 were done. What were the details, if you happened to catch them? I've been anti Ferrari since the beginning and this whole saga has made me reflect on my fandom quite a bit. Angelo, from my knowledge, doesn't have nearly the same history as his older brothers so maybe give him a shot? Guarded outlook with him.
  10. This is the exactly the same EDM I was forced to listen to at frat parties when I went to college. My God, the flashbacks
  11. some pretty cool items up on the silent auction. I'm eyeing the cruise so @ionel dont be trying to drive up the bids just to irritate me
  12. le sigh. Wishing him the best (and hopefully he avoids CTE) but bummed that the sport is potentially losing out on an all timer
  13. Was hoping more of our men's freestyle reps would show. Will they compete elsewhere before the Olympics?
  14. yeah, those people exist. I always thought RBY was an upstanding dude so I don't want to jump to conclusions. We don't know the full story here after all
  15. Yeah, this seems like a strange move. Maybe he should have been more mindful about how he spent his NILions
  16. I thought I read that somewhere. Good hire nonetheless. Is he done competing?
  17. I hope (and think) you're right. I did watch RBY's matches, including the 10-4 win at the Pan Am qualifier over a wrestler that Lee torched. I think Lee is the better wrestler but I also think that RBY has a bit more to give. He has the explosive speed that can give Lee fits. However, your point stands: we haven't really seen that version of RBY at 57kg, yet.
  18. I think this match could be highly competitive. If RBY manages his weight well, he could wrestle Lee much like Wang did. On the other hand, Spencer could end the match quickly or put it out of reach via par terre
  19. In an interview at the conclusion of NCAAs (I believe it is posted by USA wrestling) he said that we'll be seeing him in wrestling, still. Paraphrasing.
  20. Tom Brands emphasized the need to have the HWC operations lead, Chad Beatty, in Turkiye when Spencer was competing. I take that as a sign that the Hawks are taking the HWC more seriously now. Would love to have Alirez on board but It would take me some adjustment to see him and Woods on the same team. There will be a riot If Alirez goes from champion to 4th place in the Iowa room.
  21. Not surprised. Both the Iowa and PSU boards can be disgustingly toxic. This is probably true for any online community that gets large enough
  22. Wow. I guess I'm an OkSt fan now
  23. Can someone fill me in on how much of a benefit Ritalin and similar substances can yield to an athlete? Just trying to understand the situation, not to pass a verdict or insinuate anything
  24. bro I thought DT was a lock to Iowa. If he is going to split time between M2 and OKST why not throw Iowa in there as well?
