iowa fight night

Gilman has no comedic timing, which makes this even funnier. He's like a prick version of Steve Carell in the office.

Used to hate Gilman, now I'm on-board, so according to him, it's "**** me". That doesn't stop my fandom. Heelman for president 2020.
 
yes - that is 15 minutes of my life i need back. wasn't funny - wasn't WWF heal-ish. was just awkward.

....and this brings us to our next point...Don't Smoke Crack! I must say the waterboy seems a bit smarter and not quite so many uh,duh,mmm sounds as Gilman.
 
The worst part to me: stating that this was Iowa's last year at htis event. Even more so because of "last minute" notification -- umm, it's an annual event, no idea it was coming? And then he had to say it again, with emphasis, at the end?

Not exactly promoting the sport, and needs a Dale Carnegie refresher.

The funniest part to me: if you ignore the message and listen to his speech mannerisms, he sounds exactly like TnT. Nelson probably doesn't sound as much like his dad and uncle.
 
Just watched it. It was just a poor attempt at a roast. It wasn't overly offensive, just awkward. Cropduster characterized it well when comparing to Steve Carrell in The Office where the lack of awareness just makes you feel awkward it makes it kinda funny.
 
when the original tape comes out please post. I have to see this it sounds great.

Out of the 3 big schools:

Schwab went first- He was relatively PC. The only dig he really took was at Tom for not showing up.

Gilman went second....- He took "Fight Night" quite literally. He said we aren't dodging anyone and would wrestle Zadick, Schwab and Dresser right now, but would leave Dresser for last because he's old and crippled. Called Dresser out for leaving VT in the middle of the year and said why would you send your kids to ISU and someone with no loyalty. He went on to say that both Dresser and Schwab are just jealous because they've been passed up by their alma mater. "And oranges? I don't know anything about oranges. If Dresser was a real man he'd call us pussies". Gilman did give props to all his teammates there and current wrestlers on the roster. Started going down the list and said stopped himself "and another one I won't mention yet"... thought that was interesting. When addressing rivalries he said that he doesn't know what a rivalry is, but he knows neither of those schools are rivalries. We neat the shit out of ISU every year.

Dresser went third- Said that when he was at Iowa they worked hard and played hard. Won 9 straight titles (he has 5 rings) and that this Iowa is not THAT Iowa. It's not the same. Made a wise crack about not winning any titles in a while. He was pretty PC considering what he sat there and took from Gilman.

*extremely paraphrased, and missing quite a bit of content. The tension was THICK. Like I stated before, Giman said this was the last year the Hawks will be represented at Fight Night. He treated it as such.

High stakes when you're fighting for 7th place
 
This season could be the worst in the TnT era. So I can't help but feel all these distraction's off the mat are manufactured.

Like to take the discussion away from what might not be the best results which will have the fans up in arms.

Pd3, new contract, hwc, gman, etc...

Dunk,
Its no big deal. I was reading an article the other day about how 60 is the new 40. Fourth or fifth best team in the Big 10 is just the new Iowa.

***Disclaimer - I know Iowa may some day rebound and become the biggest threat to Ohio State for second best Big-10 team, but this is sure fun while it lasts.
 
Just watched it... enjoyed Schwab and Dresser. Gilman was a train wreck but he has us all talking today. Credit to him for that.

Iowa State will be beating Iowa in 4 or so years.....Dresser is going to be the nails in the Brands Brothers.....Iowa has been down and will be even lower now that Iowa State has a great recruiter and Coach....

Very convincing, but not one exclamation point or any capitals, proves this is an impersonator.;)

So they sent an angry troll in place of Brands... Whats the big deal?

If T-n-T aren’t embarrassed by this, I’d say someone has a “culture problem”.
 
I like to imagine Gilman is like this with the barista at his favorite local coffee shop, too.
Barista: Would you like the usual?
Gilman: I wan t the usual. I'll take a #2, too. Hell, I'll take the #3 afterwards, because I know it's a light roast. Serve it to me outside in the parking lot.
B: Sir, I just wanted your order...
G: No, I want the other guy in the back. You didn't wanna serve me the strong shit before, when I was just a Hawkeye. **** you.

Gilman goes behind the counter and makes his own order, until the store owner chases him out.

To quote P.T. Barnum...oh, never mind ;).
Come on. It isn't the nickel, it's the victory.

Generally speaking, every other week during the summer 8 of us travel to different central PA golf courses. We throw a few bucks into a kitty and play different games.
One buddy and I have a standing bet, outside any group wagering. A quarter for low gross. Little bit of bragging rights for a couple weeks.

Betting the nickel is just for the fun of it. I would say we could let Spyker hold the nickels, but we both know he would keep them.

Ha, you're correct...bragging rights it is!! Though a nickel isn't too far from the weekly allowance I get from Mrs. Roar ;).

No need for anyone to hold the nickels...close call, but you're good for it.

You could always send the nickels Gilman's way after the bet is over and say here's our contribution to the purchase of a new hat. That'll make him happy. Don't forget to include the can of free soup.

All I can say is for sure Gillman is not a PC person and for that I still like the guy. So he pissed off some big deal it happens in life get over it.

I'm an ISU fan and I'm over it. Still pretty funny from my end that your guy looks like a complete ass to the state of Iowa wrestling community other than Iowa fans.

I'm good. Keep it up champ.
 
should anyone not think that Tom Brands and Hawk wrestling arent icons in the state of iowa
