My prediction is that Iowa won’t challenge for another NCAA title until after the Brands brother’s contract extension expires. By then they will be largely irrelevant to college wrestling.

Eight scoring wrestlers officially debunked!
I love being able to root for Iowa's PA kids. It means Iowa is again an afterthought and I usually want the PA kids to do well.
Where is Miles? Probably polishing the trophy that he was ready to award to Michigan during the middle of the first round.
Good coverage of ADS’s emotion after his last collegiate match, his teammates greeting him in the tunnel and a clearly emotional Brands.
Exactly. My two favorite sports to watch. And Sumo, but that's an entirely different animal.
Might have been if he didn't confuse older with heavier. The older one wrestled the entire match with Carter in the center.
Not since at Iowa, though he likely crossed the curtain more than a few times in practice.
Not sure if he did any in youth/HS -- @dicemen99 saw a lot more of him in those days, might know.
So how long before we are inundated with folks telling us how 5 decades ago there was this mighty, yet cheating, dynasty that was greater than what PSU currently has going on?
Wait till next year.I'm starting to think Iowa might not win this.
Iowa is going to become the Michigan state football of NCAA wrestling. Lineup is going to be filled with transfers every year.
So the official clincher could be at 157 if Lewan doesn’t pin Teemer?
I know. I am already celebrating.

Terry going to have to start begging to be thrown after consie bracket wins?
The guys who wrestled PA high schools. Of course backseat to the good guys. It’s pretty cool seeing as many homegrown wrestlers going all over the country having success just not against Penn State guys. Just shows the depth and skill that comes from Pennsylvania high school wrestling. We all know Iowa had to invade Pennsylvania to win a championship with their 5 PA starters. 141 - Cole Matthews - Former PIAA champion from Reynolds High School District 10.
Gomez-Andonian needs an air traffic controller
Throwers on the left of the screen for 3rd. Funksters on the right for 5th
No, he is not a nice guy. He has been hanging around Dake to long. in his post match interviews yesterday he was trying to achieve Dake levels of douchebaggery with his comments. I think getting his ass handed to him in the Olympic trials last year seriously damaged his confidence.
You are correct sir, and this year's result illustrates we may well have won it last year had the Ivy's and others participated. A watered down field made it more like a super big10s than a true national championship. Fewer of Iowa's studs would weather that storm while I think we still would have had 4 champs last year, and the victory. There are no asterisks in the record by books, but it will be fun to hammer HR when they puff up their chests. The only team in history to return the full squad (yes no Spencer) and not only not defend but not even 2nd, ...3rd?

Gomez vs. Andonian is like watching two cats fight in a small space
I think he seems like a dick too. Setting high expectations for yourself is one thing, but aggressively whining about your performance on live television after you handled your opponent is lame.
Thought you were quoting a famous "Stealers Wheel" song.
...stuck in the middle with you 🎶
I know it's been mentioned for sure but the team race will be clinched well before Kerk wrestles again. The minute Michigan doesn't pin someone, we clinch.
Ten minutes left in Wolverine Dream.
For all of the Willets, Lewans, and Hidlays we have to suffer, Bryce Andonian is the hero we deserve.
