I think we are being rather tough on our B1G brethren on HR. They are stuck with only a bitter taste in their mouth and to expect more is fruitless. Heck they can not even deliver sour like a lemon, or sweet like honey. Anymore to be a Hawkeye wrestling fan is to carry bitter like a badge of courage.
Flo on DeSanto ... coming Wednesday!
- Thread starter El-Jefe
- Start date
You couldn't be farther from the truth. How about trying to focus on supporting your own team instead of constantly tearing apart others? Just a thought
funny as always. But ummm..... JoeFlo could be out? Please tell me that was a joke!
Now come on. Do I really tear apart other teams? I am currently a bit unrelenting on Rutgers having one wrestler in the lineup, but oh well.
I don't go ripping on Spencer, Glynn, Turk, Sorenson, Kemmerer, Marinelli, Gunther, Bowman, Wilke or Stoll. I do make comments about many of the fans of Hawkeye wrestling who post on the Hawkeye Report. That isn't ripping the Hawkeye wrestling team at all. Pointing out the Hawk program is currently struggling to maintain a position in the top 3, 4 or 5 in the country is not ripping on anybody. It simply is what it is.
Just a thought.
I forgot.
Nice "Anybody else think the Flo DeSanto - Lee video is a good idea" thread.
This is rich. Have you posted this on HR? I doubt it.
EDIT - It looks like Turk is willing to tell the worst of the worst on HR to pipe down and cut the nonsense, so I give him credit for that.

Man. I guess I'll have to reach out. I've known Martin and Joe since they started the whole thing. It's clear the venture capitalists have different ideas from them. Thanks for that very depressing nugget.
It's very odd, like some of them actually gave birth to the kid or something. But they are "coaching him up"
He’s actually quite accurate. If he wasn’t and Iowa fans focused on their own team, trolls like me would stay away. Instead, they are constantly accusing PSU of cheating, using performance enhancing drugs and calling us pedophiles. It’s all over the place there Turk. I’m not telling you anything you don’t already know...
Are you saying that the best light weight room in the world, cant coach up a kid w 3 world titles, 3 PA state titles, was the #1 P4P wrestler in his class with a debatable position as the best recruit to ever come from PA?

I'm a diehard PSU fan--been one for 50 years. But I don't get why so many PSU fans continue to knock Iowa. I know that some folks on HR make some ridiculous posts (I'm sure they're a minority of Iowa fans). Some PSU fans make some pretty ridiculous ones too (I'm sure I've been guilty). But our PSU wrestlers make their statement on the mats. I don't feel that it serves the wrestling community to return snide posts for snide posts. Iowa has a great program and I for one respect them. I've met a lot of great Iowa fans. I prefer trying to respect other teams and fans. If some act inappropriately, ignore them. Not trying to offend anyone, but just sharing MO.
There is one more year's class to give it a whirl. Unless they get the US Supreme Court to grant PD3 an 8th year of eligibility it will probably be Wilke and i do not see any Bo streaks stopping.
I don't knock the Iowa program. I only openly mock the know nothing, delusional scumbags on Hawkeye Report.
and some on HR mock the same type of people here.. see how that works?
The scumbags on HR don't spend their time mocking the posters on BWI. They spend their time accusing Cael Sanderson of paying wrestlers and of lying. They spend their time accusing PSU wrestlers of cheating and performing illegal holds. They spend their time accusing PSU wrestlers of using steroids. They spend their time crying that every documentary wasn't made with the utmost respect paid to Iowa, and that it was not made from the Iowa perspective.
They are delusional scumbags. It's not even close.
I try not to get on refs too often. It's a tough job and they are human. However, the DeSanto loss to Brown was one of the worst ref-jobs I've ever seen. As you mentioned, he got ripped off twice.
The only one I've seen worse was Mike Rogers of Easton. I think it was his Senior year. There were like 5 awful calls that went against Rogers. It is the only time that I actually questioned if a referee might be racist. It was either that or he quite simply didn't like Mike Rogers.
I'll never forge the Eckloff-Jones match. Most thought Jones would take it. I was always a big fan of Eckloff's wrestling in high school. That one lived up to the hype too.
I remember the Andrew Alton-Marshall Peppelman match being highly anticipated, but, I think it was a semi-final. I was shocked at how much Peppelman dominated that match. I'm surprised he didn't have a better college career (though he did keep lots of matches close when they didn't need to be.....a la Dean Heil)
you spend a lot of your time repeating yourself. You could always just avoid HR if it bothers you that much. It's bold of you to say no one on HR has any wrestling knowledge. Very bold.
If my opinion bothers you, well then it can bother you. It's no sweat off my back. Here's the thing about Hawkeye Report. Whenever PSU smashes Iowa and PSU wins I get to read all of the crybabies on HR whine about how unfair it is mixed with the self loathing regarding the Iowa program. And since I find Iowa fans to be right up there with Michigan fans as the most insufferable in the B1G the schadenfreude is well worth the visits to HR.
Whatever floats your boat man. Doesn't bother me. I just find it hypocritical of you to talk that way about HR posters. You're basically describing yourself here. You may not understand that but thats ok. Carry on
The difference between me and HR posters, again, is that I don't attack programs. I don't attack their coaches. I don't accuse their coaches of paying wrestlers. I don't accuse wrestlers of taking steroids. I don't accuse wrestlers of cheating. I also don't cry when Flo releases a documentary because it's not all about PSU and hurts my feel feels because they didn't take the time to make sure everybody knows it was really unfair to Spencer Lee.
If you don't understand the difference between me and the scumbags on Hawkeye report you are either intellectually dishonest or stupid.
What I do, is I attack the morally bankrupt, delusional scumbags on Hawkeye Report.
If you're on your 7th "HR is saying ______" post of the day, you're probably not convincing anyone of anything.
Today on FRL272 the guys announced that there will be another mini documentary like the DeSanto one coming soon. This one on Suriano. Now I'm sure there won't be any info on what really went down with the transfer, but I'm sure that it'll be interesting.
Probably the pressure and struggles to become his “people’s” champion.
It's been a long time since I read How to Win Friends and Influence People ... but I don't recall the word "scumbags" in it.
