Great attendance at Iowa - Purdue Dual

This board needs a hate everything Iowa thread. Pin it at the top of your page. Then Tom, Tim and the rest of the mods can move the weekly 4-5 Iowa threads into one spot. If you think about it, not a bad idea, right?
... and all of HR could be combined into a single Bald Man Bad thread.

How about a single Midget Man Bad Thread. See how that works?
Who's the midget? I don't see either Brands being short for their weight.

BTW, Bald Man Bad lets you guys lump in all your hate for Cael AND Willie in one place.

Though Marinelli might be problematic for that thread.

what would you have to visit and post about then? Now that you talked about Mark Perry, what is left until #2020?

Hey WT, can you confirm whether the rumor is true that Iowa is considering this new team motto:

“Iowa wRESTing. That’s what we do!”

Like most of your starters, the “L” is intentionally omitted. ;):D:p

That would make a decent t-shirt -- with a pic of a sauna.

Time for the sympathy card! As in, "See, I'm a human. You and I are not so different..." :)

Go check out your boys at home.Two of the top five threads are PSU related and some of those posts are weird.You guys could have sticky threads for the freaks that can't talk wrestling without making a mess on themselves while they give a pbp of their wrestling mixed with whatever fantasies, another one for the idiots that know the inside scoop on recruiting violations, one for your sandusky crowd,one for the guys who just hate Cael,etc. It's good you police this board though.

Paid attendance is the method used for attendance by all major sports and venues, professional, college and possibly beyond. This is not new, nor unique to Iowa.
Oh...I know, and have always known, or at least for 30 plus years when I was around the guy when he was adding it all up. I just think it's silly to announce the number of people who paid to attend, when it is clear they did not show up.

Then....on the other end you get to announce not only the number of people who paid to attend a sell out and then add in a bunch who presumably did not pay. Those include ushers, press, etc.... Then add a fudge factor.
 
I really enjoy 50%+ of HR. When they focus on wrestling they really are some rabbid knowledgeable fans. Several are wrestling encyclopedias and most are knowledgable about the sport. In the off season they have more volume of interesting content than most other places.

Then there are the haters... It gets old PED state, Cael can't coach, PSU cheats. They just can't let go..... ever.

For the most part, there is little of that here, on BWI although maybe we are a bit too focused on tOSU. But.... there is a big difference in kidding tOSU about Tom's tan, trips to Aruba, pin chains, robes, popping off with big predictions as soon as Nolf got hurt and other silliness. Looking at that list, he deserves it. That said there is virtually no time spent on tOSU 'must cheat' to get 2 deep blue chippers at every weight...

Given the sheer number of top recruits I think Tom actually out-recruits (incl transfers) Cael in 'volume'. Cael just is a better recruiter on 'quality' and a better coach in terms of development IMO.

HR has another fresh thread today on PSU cheating. I am sure my response earned a block from about half of the 50% who have not already done so over there.

I keep hoping their recent ascendance stops the foolishness over there, but I won't hold my breath.

Andegre built a great stats-etc site. I wish some other wizard would build a filter for BWI that makes posts about HR invisible to me. I care about wrestling and PSU, but I don’t give a damn about HR.
 
Someone on HR posted that Spencer had the flu yesterday and that is why he sat out. Of course, someone else posted that he was seen sitting and chatting with Howard in the stands during the match.

Who knows what's true, but that's probably what led to the above post.

I'd guess that Howard would have preferred to watch Lee from the stands, instead of chatting with him in the stands.
