Best Ice Cream around. Best wrestling fans. Rabid environment. What's not to like? Carver is going to be loud and crazy just like it should be!

I got great tickets this year off center mat. I'm ready to be off work already and get this going! Wont be long now

Not great seats but will be there at 6:30!!
If you have never been to Carver there is really no bad seats in the house. Unless you get caught up on the landing in the standing room only area. The underground bowl environment is a one of a kind experience that every big college wrestling fan should experience. I plan a trip to State college aswell when my son gets a little older. Bucket list!

Maybe by then you will have a coach who isnt afraid to come to SC?

I'd recommend you go ahead and skip your trip to State College. It's only going to make you like Iowa City less.

Brands just answered that in a recent interview. Hawks owe PSU a trip and PSU owes the Hawks a charter to get there. Maybe Cael is just being cheap:) Sounds like both parties are working towards ensuring there are no gaps in future years.

It really is a shame that PSU and Iowa don't meet every year. The rivalry that has developed between the two over the last decade has been incredible for the sport.
 
I'd really like a sampling of that ice cream. I mean really....is it made from some magical milk or something? I hear how great it is but lets be real, theres a limit to how good one can produce ice cream right? 83% of the time, when I hear how great something is and I finally try it I walk away disappointed. Last week I went to Primantes after years of hearing my buddies tell me how great it is. Primantes is a perfect example of what I'm saying here..

Pretty sure the Big Ten sets the schedule and the teams go wherever they are assigned. But that's just me.

It's a running joke referring to when Iowa and PSU did not wrestle and Cael and Brands scheduled an "OOC" matchup between PSU and Iowa, with PSU traveling to Iowa for it that year. Brands owes Cael a return trip to PSU in a year when the two don't meet.

I;d be willing to bet he already knew that.

JTS,

My opinion is Primanti Brothers sandwiches are best consumed after 2:00 am and after several libations. Otherwise 83% of the time they are not so enjoyable.

You lost all credibility when you said your ice cream was better. Bring your little man to the Creamery when you visit...you can thank me later.

To clarify, when Penn State traveled to Iowa for the OOC meet several years ago, Iowa paid for the charter. Brands agrees that he owes a trip to Penn State but says Penn State owes them a charter in return.

I don't think that will be a problem. I believe Brands is a man of his word.

Best consumed after 2 AM at the Strip District location 30 years ago. Once they started opening stores all over, it wasn't the same.

Someone needs to ask Mike Evans if he was impressed with Carver ice cream.

Turk have an icecream on BWI tonight. However, if that top dip falls on the concourse floor, just understand the karma of it all.
 
I tried to have a customer of mine from Iowa demand I come today for a visit, couldn't get it to work.....

Anyone going, enjoy! The environment will be electric. #1 vs #2.

Btw; (1) Creamery ice cream is better (I've had CHA's), (2) best wrestling fans are Penn State's, and (3) the whole "rabid" thing you (Turk) can have. :);)

Ice cream could be true, environment is 100% true, but best wrestling fans? Meh ‍♂️
