Iowa thread for 2024-25

They had no time to do any real diagnostics before he went back out to restart, so all that we know is that the whole muscle wasn't torn off the bone or they would have seen that, but otherwise, the extent of the injury would require an MRI.
They did an assessment and through training, education and experience cognitively concluded he was safe to go.
 
Judging by their board, they’ve already thrown in the towel on this year

But next year - watch out!!!! After Krailure loses a few guys and Iowa adds Bo and Jax and several others - plus the inevitable upper weight room bump for Angelo and Gabe and Keuter, we’re doomed!

Corby has them all fired up with 1st person accounts from Bo and Jax’ family
 
Oh my gosh! I started listening to Christmas music a couple weeks ago and just now realized that the Kay Starr classic "The Man With the Bag" is about Slumlord Bob. It took some digging, but I found an obscure backmasking music site that even has the original secret lyrics. The lyrics are below, followed by the publicly released version for you young'uns who may not know the tune.

Tom & Terry tingle, as Bob’s pockets jingle,
The coin that’ll tinkle all their troubles away.
Iowa is waitin’ for the man with the bag,
‘Cause Slumlord is comin’ again.

He's got a sleighful, it surely will stay full,
He's got coin to throw ev'ry portal guy’s way.
Iowa is waitin’ for the man with the bag,
Dear Slumlord is comin’ again.

He'll be here, with the answers to the prayers
That T&T made all year.
They’ll get theirs, if they do ev’rything Bob says they should,
If they’re extra special good.

He'll make this December, the one they'll remember,
The best and most merry GIA ever did have.
Iowa is prayin’ for the man with the bag,
Sweet Slumlord be here again.

Tom & Terry giggle, when Bob’s pockets jingle,
With the coin that’ll tinkle all their troubles away.
Iowa is waitin’ for the man with the bag,
Their Slumlord is here again.

He's got a sleighful, endless NIL coin ain’t no bull,
Even more when room injuries happen every day.
Iowa salivatin’ for the man with the bag,
Daddy Slumlord is here again.

Bob is here, with answers to T&T’s prayers,
And nonstop Penn State smears.
Iowa gets theirs, if Bob hits his eviction quota like he should,
Feels so extra special good.

He hopes this December, to buy a spring and winter,
That won’t crush their dreams with the “also ran” tag.
Every Hawk is waitin', dark tunnels they're embracin'
Indebted to the man with the bag.
Ironbird is deep in love with this man!

 
I just visited GIA/HR to see their take on the 2 premiere early-season tourneys, but I found they didn't have a thread on Ironman or CKLV.

Strange for a crew that claims to be the best wrestling fans in America.

They weren't wrestling in the CKLV and the Ironman had so many PSU recruits and that makes it painful to watch or even discuss.

The reality of the playing field still not being level despite Bob "I got a bag for ya" proclaiming otherwise is just too much for the HR goofs to deal with.

Even worse, if they had watched CKLV they would have seen the future coach of the Iowa program who got away.

But the Iowa women went 5-0 at the Jewell Duals. So there’s that exciting news to read about. 😂

Something is going on with that site something fishy. I didn't go over there for four months and when I finally slipped in to see what's up there's nothing but bullshit threads. I'm thinking they lost their nerve or they miss giapet or something

I check it out on a regular basis because their takes are usually comical, but you’re right, lately it’s mostly just nonsense and talk of women’s wrestling. They have already given up on this year. I was hoping for some angry final death throes posts but i believe they are just quietly fading into irrelevance. Sad days in Iowa indeed.
 
Iowa goes 6-4 against Army. Injury at 157 and confusion at 285 but it's a team that "second best team in the country" should have demolished.

Gabe Arnold at 184 isn’t scaring anyone.

I’m somewhat impatiently awaiting his flameout - hard to hear all the hype from the Midwest Mafia for months

It was actually the states Hog-calling championships. Final results showed they called in 17 hogs, 8 cheerleaders and 49 Ex-wives. It was a new state record for # of hogs.

Wait, they changed their site name again? Lol. Hawkeye Beacon is better than the abbreviation of their rival's arena, though.

Half of this board has been banned. Care to screenshot or summarize?
Typical Iowa board nonsense.

A PSU fan complimented Iowa but it wasn't a full-throated SQUEEEEE !!!! so Slumlord Bob sarcastically swatted him away.

Dice then reminded Nicolls of past claims that the field was level and Iowa would win the 2025 title. That went over as well as expected.

Nicolls is as always the rich donor version of the wrestling parent who can't stay off the boards. Other than entertaining PSU fans, no good comes of it.

I am very proud to have rankled both Slumlord Millionaire and Gabe's Dad over there, and have done it without doing anything ban-worthy.

That part about entertaining PSU fans is important though.

The best part below (Dice uses the most effective rhetorical device in an argument - using one’s own words against them. In this case, Brands’ own words. Hoist Iowa on their own petard, so to speak)

Well, over here goalposts have a way of moving.

I seem to recall you stating a year or two ago that the field was level and that Iowa would not have to wait multiple years to contend for a national title. When pressed you said that would be 2024-25.

How's that working out for you? We're coming up on 2025. You want to try again?
Where did I say that changed?

I just so very appreciative of you Blue and Whites coming over to help us out.

Good luck.

We follow our incoming recruits at events like Ironman. Nicolls follows other college teams for next year's one-year rentals.
 
The guy writing the check got his money from ripping off single moms and disadvantaged families. Won’t be surprised if Teemer ends up in court fighting for his money.
BTW has anyone seen AJ still driving around in that BMW, post his hilarious video after the double birds incident? I wonder.

Zero starters lost. I'm as critical as an Iowa fan gets, but this team is wrestling well right now.

I think he's looked pretty good. In that match he got caught in one scramble getting greedy on his own attack and dug a 5-0 hole. Outscored his guy 11-2 from that point forward.

It's super funny that you guy act like the kid's a punk because he's done 1/10th of the trash talking of Carter Starocci...towards Carter Starocci.

Army guy who is 84 on Wrestlestat and 6-5 on the season.

Don’t think he’s a punk per se. More annoyed at the hype when we’ve got a guy just out of high school as a redshirt backup who has beaten him multiple times. He needs to handle our backups before he steps to our starters don’t you think?

He's not more hyped than Ryder. He's just on a worse team.
