Some of our guys can't until their training kicks in late in March.
Cael does not seem particularly happy ...

You're pissing in the wind over there. Rational posts are not understood in the cesspool.

I thought Brady looked small as well compared to Marinelli.
I used to go over to the HR for a bit of entertaining reading and also to catch some balanced takes on wrestling. The good posters there were washed into the mix and it was harder and harder to find their posts. I stopped going there two years ago...
If it gets better I'll be back.. Doubt you will be able to change the environment there quickly but I hope you do.

Was Angel the bus driver? Just trying to figure out how to get an average official involved. Yes, I know Angel is somewhat below average, but he is the average bad official.
Maybe by you personally, but not by your masses. As little as their collective mind is, they make up their own mind and rarely is rational thought encouraged or tolerated.
There are plenty of Iowa Fans that would probably reciprocate those exact words back about this forum as well.
Two passionate fan bases. you guys are basically new to the party (in the last decade) and Iowa fans don't like it. Completely understandable.
Mike
Maybe new to the party from a University commitment to wrestling, but PA wrestling fans and PA wrestling are not new to any party.
I actually had the same thought during the match about Cael. He had, what I thought at the time, a kind of disinterested look on his face for much of it. Wasn't sure what to think about, chalked it up to genuine concern about how things were going and then wondered why. Kinda seemed like he was distant or something. I don't see him enough to know if that is normal or not......

Having seen The Bull's donnybrooks with Cenzo I was worried for Berge if it turned into that kind of match. He seemed to wrestle like he was, too. He also looked like he was up a weight. It will be interesting to see how he does against Kharchla.
Come on dude. Penn State wrestling fans are not new to the party (last decade). I have had season tickets to Penn State wrestling since the late 80s. I have attended Penn State wrestling
matches since the 60s. I am not the only person on this message who can make those claims.
As far as the past decade, yeah we are king of the mountain. The goofs on HR have had a decade plus to get used to the order change. To be honest, Iowa wrestling is always present in their competition's mind and always represented by their fans but for the past 11 years they have a single championship and a single runner-up finish. It isn't even like they have been frequently knocking on the door. Hell, go back 2 decades - 4 championships. The Iowa that Iowa fans envision hasn't existed for more than 2 decades.
Perhaps not throwing in ‘goofs’ and insulting the general intelligence may lead to more ‘rational’ discussions? Just a thought.
Both fan bases are biased, or we wouldn't have our own boards..
What I'm saying the douche to good poster ratio is off..
The HR is running rich, maybe 20:1 and the smoke doesn't smell like castor bean oil either..
If you can weed out a bit of the crap and get her up to 50:1 the board will relive its glory days.

Posted on hr board because i believed that i could actually discuss wrestling lol. Found out real quick, that unless your a total nut job Iowa fan you really cannot discuss wrestling there. Unfortunately I went back and antagonized a bit. We do have our own douchbags here but now where near whats over there. I do go read their ridiculous post for entertainment. Like all Iowa wresters are undersized and injured. I get it when your not the top dog after a history of being that, you need excuses to justify what’s happening. Iowa wrestling will always be a good product but its not the Gable era anymore.
Then why did u ban me asshat? One Purdue beer picture. Rational and HR don't belong in the same sentence. Thin skinned much?

“Unfortunately I went back and antagonized a bit”
And there is the rub. Unfortunately
A. Iowa fans will respond
B. Too many of them don’t respond accordingly
And
C. Too many of your predecessors chose to begin with the ‘antagonized a bit’ approach.
iows fans are homers, PSU fans are homers. PSU doesn’t have the market cornered on rational fans. They are out there in all fan bases. With larger fanbases the vocal minority however get the attention. If this board sent their rational posters to the cesspool rather than some of the ‘antagonize’ brigade both fan bases would benefit.
Not taking a Zierath or nitlion side on the posts above. I will say that Mike has a point, as Penn State fans (a minority) have chest-thumped on HR more and more as the titles rolled in. No argument from me on that point. It has, at times been tasteless too.
HR, with the most cesspool-dwelling of a mostly respectful fan base (my experience) as the occupants, hasn't dealt well with being second fiddle.
Both fan bases can own some of the hateful, vile, angry, mean-spirited, over-the-top rhetoric. Give me the old-fashioned banter that accompanies respectful rivalries.
I can't believe Penn State allows Cael's PC to go behind a pay wall. I also can't believe Flo keeps it behind a pay wall.
Here, lets spin this another way......and I'm only stating the obvious
24 of the last 46 years have been won by Iowa. 8 of the last 10 have been won by PSU. That's a staggering 32 out of 46 between the two programs. Basically, 70% from 2 programs.
Only Oklahoma State has more NCAA Championships than Iowa, since it began championships, in 1928, at 27. And back in the day, Iowa State had 8 Championships as well.
So the tides have turned........and will likely turn again.
Iowa and Oklahoma State, are still the two most recognized and respected programs in the NCAA's from a Championship standpoint. Undisputable. PSU and Iowa State are the second tier, with PSU potentially continuing their current run.
Iowa will have a say in that.
Mike
Maybe Mike will be back to explain himself. Frankly, some of your most recent posts have surprised me.
Did I?
Or did someone else?
I don't recall having any run in with you. If we did, and I banned you, you had it coming, period! I have a very well documented.........long leash.
Mike
And if that beer picture you posted is what got you banned, I guarantee it wasn't me.
That's actually funny.
Mike
That's actually funny.
Mike
At least 4 of us.
I'm not the only one you have to worry about. I'm just the most lenient.
