Cael obviously missed a payment to the ref's.

Good call dude. You are obviously the smartest person on these forums.

Awesome look.

At least he competed.

Well you nailed it.

UGH, 2 years without a champ. They sucked.

Trump wrestled. Biden will lie and say he wrestled but the only evidence of a Biden wrestling is Hunter and his crack dealer.

Sorry PB but Iowa was a dynasty anyway you look at it based on the History over the last 30 years prior to Brands , Including Zaleski's run. He had a resume comparable to JRob and John Smith at the time. Zaleski wasn't seeing the same success as Gable but neither is Brands. nobody was until Cael.

But I was wrong Zaleski had 3 championships 2 runner up finishes and a 4th in 9 years. Those years not winning are when OK State had 5 champs and won 3 titles and Minnesota had a crazy good team for a couple years.

I coiuld see PSU with 2 champs and could also see them with 5. I Could definately see Vito beating RBY and Kerk losing like you said. Haines and AOC seem pretty evenly matched. I could see it going either way. I feel 90 percent confidence in Brooks and don't see Starocci losing after destroying Labriola at B10's.

Right. lol. Zaleski was HC at Iowa for 9 years won 3 Titles one runner up and 4th. that's 5 podium finishes. Add that to what Gable did and Iowa wasn't a dynasty? Fer sherr. PSU won a title in 1953.

That's funny, last night I was thinking back to 10 years ago when the hawk fans were all saying that Cael couldn't coach, he could only recruit. Well it's obvious that Brands is a better recruiter than a coach. He had several recruits followed him from VT that he recruited, but he also had the guys already at Iowa. He won the three titles early on with those recruits and in 2021 on a PSU rebuilding year, but Brands said his team was hurting in 2021 because PSU had 4 champs and head to head Starocci beating Kemmerer, Lee beat Eierman add RBY and Brooks winning. PSU was celebrating second and Iowa was sullen in victory and the Iowa board reflected it. Iowa has picked up transfers off of the portal in Eierman and Woods and others. Woods their only finalist this year. I think the Brands bros are good people, But I haven't been a fan of Brands with the thug mentality of his team always wrestling after the whistle, grinding the head into the mat, poor sportsmanship and everyone speaking with the same inflection That said Brands inherited a dynasty, Cael has built one.

He beat everyone in his bracket. duh

Getting beat will do that to ya.

Sorry Mrs. Kessinich.

He's been bad for years. He's actually improved. He interviewed coaches when their guys were wrestling. Barry Davis was coming out of his skin when Howe was wrestling and Quint had a mic in his grill the whole time. Super cringeworthy.

I wish he was more humble.

Brooks looking for the upset.

Tom Brands said Tom Brands is hurting right now.

Is Lee safe to go home?

Yawney sucking wind

Barry Davis approves this message.

Lee can still come back for 3rd.

Spencer Lee unluckiest ever.

I think Starocci , Brooks and Kerk are going to have their hands full. Foca looking tough.
