I love running a chainsaw. It truly can be very therapeutic! I know some here agree.
You guys can pick up the logs and carry the water. Thanks

I’m not sure it’s the same. Mark told Cael he wanted to go, and Cael adjusted the plan. I don’t think Mark went up to Cael after weigh ins in Carver Hawkeye arena and told him he’s wrestling. Plans can be adjusted as things change. I’m sure Cael and Mark sat down after Scuffle and talked about how to meet Mark’s needs as well as to consider the long-term ramification. Last nights decision couldn’t have been more different.
The guy is playing victim. He had several Freudian slips but I guess a " pass the hat " would bring him off the ledge.
Sorry, one year is all you’ve got. No matter how many “what ifs” fill your tiny brain, it is still only one title and that won’t change.
So you miss Cael and you hate the Brands. What's new? Personally I feel you should be more concerned with your own Hawkeye coaches.
That’s the point. Two years is a blip on the screen when it comes to strategery and world domination. 😉
Math is on a losing streak.
My tiny brain says Iowa beat Penn St in the dual in 19-20 and won the Big 10 tourney. Then won Big 10’s and NCAA’s last year so by my count Penn St hasn’t beaten Iowa since the 18-19 NCAA tourney.
Another Iowa thread on BWI. Credit youz guyz for consistency.
Current tourney edge PSU; current dual edge Iowa. It’s a long way to Tipperary, best three months of wrestling.

You guys don’t count duals or Big 10 titles? I will remember that.Math is on a losing streak.
Hmmm, miss Cael? That’s a new one. No fan of Cael, but can’t argue he is the best coach in the game light years ahead of the field.
Probably. I'll give you that. But I won't give you the intellectual context because that is not how he used it. You know this.
It's 2022 now so I guess your wrong take odometer was reset.
Best part about this clip is watching the Iowa fan in the white shirt jumping around thinking Brooks pinned Nickal. Then his buddy with a slightly higher wrestling IQ breaks the bad news and the doofus just looks on in stunned disbelief.

I was just saying how I get enjoyment out of doing it. Nothing more. Don't look to far into it there dunke
National Championships are all that really matter. It’ll be years before Iowa sees another.
Barring injuries (which often happen), it’s Penn State this year and next. After that Ohio State will be Penn State’s biggest threat for a while.
There have been years that Penn State lost a dual or lost Big10’s and still won the National Championship, were talking championships here and in the last 2 years, Iowa has only won 1 - as painful as that might be for you.
They’re fun but not terribly important. It’s all about NCAAs and Cael knows that. Get your guys ready for the big tournament. Everything else is prep work and no one is even in the same universe as Cael when it comes to getting the most from his guys at NCAAs.
Maybe a canned food drive at the next home match? They’ll need to have pictures of what they’re accepting though. Last time they did it hawk fans donated like 8 cans of actual food and a lot of 6 packs of budget beer and tins of chew
I project
Not unjustified, but nonetheless... I doubt he wrestles any top 10 kids before Bigs
So you don’t care if Penn St wins the dual on Jan 28 or the Big 10 tourney? Interesting. You’re original post was comparing Cael and Penn St to Brands and Iowa. Penn St hasn’t beaten Iowa in a dual or tourney in 2 years. I know it’s hard for you to fathom but those are the facts even if you change the subject to only national titles.

I care about the Dual but in the big scheme of things it’s not that important. You seem to be suffering from the same problem as your head coach. He puts the emphasis on the wrong things. He should seek Cael’s advice on how to do it.
We want to beat Iowa in the dual, but that's not the goal, and hasn't been for a long time.
B10 tournament is even less important. Only 2 outcomes matter: qualification and health.
That's not changing the subject, that's facing reality.
People who make the B10 Tournament team race important:
If that's the case he'll have just 5 matches in before Bigs.
IMO, Brands will put his best line-up on the mat when we visit Carver. Maybe winning the NCAAs is goal #1, but protecting their home turf is a close 2nd for the Hawks.
If given a choice between winning Bigs or beating PSU at Carver, I think they would choose the latter.

I simply stated Penn St hasn’t beat Iowa in a team competition in 2 years. Can’t be disputed but you can continue deflecting.
So Carver has banners on the ceiling for that time they beat Penn State in a dual? I’ll remember that.

Great minds…That scene (and the one of TomTom tug-o’-warring the trophy was the first thing I thought of when the question of caring about B1G Championships was posed.We want to beat Iowa in the dual, but that's not the goal, and hasn't been for a long time.

Over time, people remember National Championships, not conference championships . . . unless there was a memorable peculiarity in one of the latter.
Ok, so I get your point, but the quibble is over semantics. You maintain PSU hasn’t won an on-the-mat competition vs. Iowa in 2 years, which is correct. NittanyChris maintains that the only part of that streak that matters is the 1 National Championship, which is hardly a streak (and also correct). Another contention is that we enjoy winning everything but at the end of the day really only care aboot the National Championship, which is also correct.
Absolutely true. It's also true that in the previous nine years Iowa beat PSU in a team competition once, losing at least 17 times.
You mean this one?
Though I'm partial to this pic -- because the dude in the background makes it look like the Tressel Trophy, which would be 100% on brand for the Big Ten.
Cael is a great coach, no doubt. But if Brands is so bad, like a checkers player against a chess master, how has Iowa ever beat Penn St? He must be doing something right to beat the Grandmaster over 2 years of competition.
Personally, I'd love to see some team upon winning the B10 Tournament embrace the NHL Conference Trophy celebration -- where the winners get their pics taken with the trophy but dare not touch it, because it's not the trophy that counts.
Unless you're Bo Schembechler and lose the Rose Bowl routinely.
Funny how many Big Ten titles Michigan remembers.
If Tom had 8 titles in the last 10 years and Cael had 1 title, some dual wins and Big10 titles I’m sure you’d stop by to tell us that Cael was on Tom’s level
