Yeah. Kind of the vibe I catch when I go over there, too. At first it was kind of funny, and then I began to realize that it wasn't a schtick. Like, I envision him yelling these things while typing, as his wife shuffles down the hall to watch more Judge Judy, in a house that smells like old people and vinyl.
Are you saying bnicolls is both landlord and tenant?
Was that him or Eviction Bob? Ha, even I lost track of who spewed the nonsense.
Ironbird is really one of our guys screwing around over there anonymously. Pretty fun, if you think about it.
My guess is YES…naked.
You guys crack me up! One of you thinks Iron Turd has a wife, and another thinks he can drive.
I think it comes down to that any very successful program will have an entitled fan base. I think their expectations or more like the gable years that what's going on now
And I think they kind of realize that it's not coming back, ever. Sanderson is obviously a great recruiter and coach, it's obvious they're developing wrestlers, and we all know that Pennsylvania is the top high school wrestling state and country.
Penn State just has all the advantages of them right now and it's not going to change in the near future.

As for Bob, the guy knows very little about wrestling and if you pay attention you'll find the guy is full of shit much of the time. Some of you might remember when he told us he was at the match when Carr punked Murin with the crying gesture. Only problem was he told us it happened in a gym in another state. Lol. The deal with Bob is if/when Iowa can co.pete with PSU, he wants to go down as one of the people who made it happen. It was suppose to be Spencer Lee to make that happen. Bob is just another attempt is all..
Just another HR asshat, who poses as one of their big donors. The wrestling facility they are building is named after him.
He makes his money bring a slum lord and preying on minorities.
Loggers festival every year in Cherry Springs...awesome. Went to every one of them back in the day.
This guy. He's a frequent poster on GIA, among the most delusional but with the money to do something ineffective about it.
Post in thread 'In Iowa desperation news…' https://pennstate.forums.rivals.com/threads/in-iowa-desperation-news….332751/post-6330280
Just the room will carry the Nicholls' name. He says only until the Brands retire, when he will have it renamed after them.
The wrestling facility is going to be named after another Hawkeye Wrestling donor family, Goschke.
Lol. Naw. They went the Spencer route, creating the PA pipeline and all these recruits wanting to be on his team. That one failed so they are moving on to Bob and trying to see if his money can beat Cael. Not gonna happen..
Bob could have and racoon turd may have repeated it, but it was definitely the turd in this case.
Who is gonna be the one that screen shot all his posts calling us PSU fans pedophiles and spreading it all over social media when the ribbon cutting ceremony goes down? That would look good for the program. Sounds like something @PatMineo22 would love to be a part of. Lmao. And don't look at me, I work on a fee and Cael won't be involved in that seedy shit. Ha

He also claimed he's good friends with Ira and they did lunch a few years back and Ira openly admitted that we cheat and encouraged him to do the same.
But you’re PAID Iowa hater!! (See what I did with the all caps) 🤣
Reading his spiel about the fields now being level, the athletes in the rooms being comparable, they are now on the right path, the rest of his blah, blah, blah and the reverence they pay him while kneeling before the majesty that is slum lord Bob is humorous. That is a man dying to be recognized and credited. Hopefully he presented the twins a 3 ring binder.
LOL no one needs to be paid to hate iowa,we all do it for free!
I know of at least one Hawk fan that is tired of his idiocy. I mean, he's one of the best I know so I'm aware he's probably an outlier.
Ok good Go over to HR and stand in for me.
I know you'll do a fantastic job!!! And thank you for offering.
LOL I dont think I would last long,they would ax me after my first remark!
Lol. I know...I kinda wanted to see it.
It's interesting...a few weeks ago, in their annual post-NCAA hand wringing session, a commenter (who I believe is a current or former HWC member/leader/knower-of-things) said the following...
"Gable had the richest club in the nation for his career-- Roy Carver donated a couple million dollars early on to fund the club.. in todays $$ that would be like 10mm or more."
What is the answer?
I have a few thoughts but one that keeps coming up is $ and the constant nudges in every thread that alludes to, you want improvement—donate, but who is the steward of those dollars? I donated to HWC and realized some decisions were a bit frustrating. For years the club was non existent...

You'll all be shocked that this generated basically no reaction or acknowledgement from their contingent that insists Cael is only successful because of a $$$ advantage (which seems to be smaller than Gable's $$$ advantage).
Even if they are forced to resign in disgrace for bringing in a family of serial rapists?
yea I know that don't you love iowa??Lol. I know...I kinda wanted to see it.
That would be Randy Novak, former president of HWC. Not sure his current role (their new president is Brad Eldeen) but they seem to understand it's essential to actually fundraise rather than whine that Penn State has more. Seems like Iowa fans prefer to donate right to the wrestlers rather than give them a healthy endowment that's sustainable though .It's interesting...a few weeks ago, in their annual post-NCAA hand wringing session, a commenter (who I believe is a current or former HWC member/leader/knower-of-things) said the following...

Understandable. University rules likely prohibit using endowment funds for bail and defense attorneys.
Ultimately, this is really my fault...expecting a realistic, accurate portrayal of Iowa's dominance of American wrestling.
Gable's bonus scholarships didn't hurt either.

I may be the outlier, because I neither hate Iowa nor think Bob Nicholls is somehow bad for Iowa wrestling.
Wrestlers routinely wore Iowa t-shirts when I was in high school in Western, PA and Dan Gable was at the helm.
Later this year, a recently minted nephew-in-law of mine will be taking up residence in Decorah, IA. I may end up visiting him and my niece, so I think it's best to maintain good standing in the state.
