Great attendance at Iowa - Purdue Dual

Be honest, those "checks" only serve to help you.

Facts and your feelings are on opposite paths.
This thread was started about college wrestling attendance. I presented 12 straight years of facts on NCAA wrestling attendance. You should go back and check that
 
Back points? How about we start them off slow and work on a TD?

Hard to fathom that there was optimism from some on the HR that this team was a NC contender with a minor slip up from PSU. They have chasms to bridge.

Nothing a little athletic tape cant fix

Hard to fathom? C'mon this is HR we're talking about, where delusion and bitterness run unchecked.
 
Seriously....... you're like the guy that has his wife open a jar of pickles for him.

you should have stuck with your decades old facts. Comedy and metaphors arent your strong suit.

more "bud", less mud
 
If your a die hard or season ticket holder at Iowa and you risk life and limb to drive in what surely is the worst ice storm in recorded history, the least TnT could do is have half the lineup be starters.

Maybe the inner circle sent out a memo to stay home and save lives.
I thought the worst ice storm in recorded history was the one Gable made them practice in, after Lorenzo beat them.

When I have an exciting match on the old lady will bring me a sandwich and some pickles and ask questions about this move or that, Today,every time I doze off she changes the channel. I woke up and watched the Yule log for 10 minutes.checked the score and let her put the log back on.

Careful now, it's a good thing that CP has such thick skin.
Reminds me of Nathan Thurm sometimes he’s so defensive

If points were awarded for knee braces and miles of athletic tape, iowa would always start the meet well ahead.
Now that there sounds like a J Robinson, Minnesota Goofer, national duals, NCAA championship formula.
 
Iowa averaged 8,996 fans per dual, more than 1,000 in front of second-place Penn State (7,693) and third-place Ohio State (6,681). For the year, 71,966 fans attended Iowa's eight home meets. Rutgers and Fresno State round out the top five.

Iowa State finished sixth, with an average attendance of 3,361. Northern Iowa finished 15th, at 1,724.

The Hawkeyes’ average this season is their fourth-highest average since 2001-02. Iowa has led the nation in attendance in each of Tom Brands' 12 seasons as head coach, and have averaged at least 8,000 fans for the 10th straight season.

CHA seating capacity 15,500
Rec Hall seating capacity 6,502

Shouldn't Iowa lead in attendace?

Side note: Isn't the argument from Iowa against Pennsylvania being the best wrestling state because of a bigger population?

Logic, and its consistent application, is not a strength of our Iowa friends.

So far the best action:rolleyes: has been an Iowa guy pushing a Pudue guy out for a stall warning.

That's the "Iowa style".

Good-natured ribbing aside, I've always found it peculiar that the emblem of Iowa wrestling's greatness is their legendary Coach Gable bronzified while motioning for the ref to call stalling. Not Gable in some encouraging or celebratory pose willing his wrestlers to greatness or acknowledging some great feat. But instead, Iowa chose to immortalize Gable intently focused on penalizing an opponent and looking for a win on a stalling call. Seems strange to me.

Why strange? Paraphrasing former Hawkeye and current Buckeye coach Tom Ryan, for a quarter century that's how they handled it.
 
How’s it going Turk? Shouldn’t you be over on HR trying to chase “me” away? :D

You lied when you said it wasn't you. Sad. But I didn't expect anything different. We knew better. Johnstownsteel handle #8 on HR!:D

You guys are funny. I think anytime "jt" appears anywhere in a handle, it receives an autoban on HR. You'll have a difficult time catching up Turk.
