Iowa dual Grant Varnum added to this discussion on January 30, 2011 I won't give details/results in case people are waiting to watch it delayed but I was a bit surprised.        Discussion Topic: Interesting results from Penn State v. Iowa dual Ben Golden added to this discussion on January 31, 2011 Without Ohioans on their team they really would have been embarrassed!        Discussion Topic: Interesting results from Penn State v. Iowa dual Mark Niemann added to this discussion on January 31, 2011 I was THOROUGHLY impressed. THOROUGHLY.        Discussion Topic: Interesting results from Penn State v. Iowa dual Mark Palumbo added to this discussion on January 31, 2011 Iowa was relentless, as expected, but they made Penn State look out of shape. Even in the matches Penn State won, they looked like they were sucking wind. Got to give Brands and the team alot of credit.        Discussion Topic: Interesting results from Penn State v. Iowa dual Rex Holman added to this discussion on January 31, 2011 Ring, ring...This is Tom Brands with your wakeup call informing you that we intend to win the National Title again this year.        Discussion Topic: Interesting results from Penn State v.

Iowa dual Grant Varnum added to this discussion on January 31, 2011 Well, having Marion back in the lineup certainly changes things on a national level. I would venture to guess that PSU will do some adjusting though - watching them in other matches this year, they have never seemed to "gas" as badly as they did here, which leads me to believe that nerves may have played a role as much as or more so than conditioning... Not that Iowa is loaded with upperclassmen, but 5 frosh and 3 soph in a dual meet of that caliber, with that many people, on your home turf, etc etc...thats a pretty big stage to perform on... Certainly makes the rest of the year interesting!!!        Discussion Topic: Interesting results from Penn State v. Iowa dual Hank Kornblut added to this discussion on January 31, 2011 For those of us that looked at the Midlands Results and thought Iowa was down...surprise! Remind me never to doubt Tom Brands.        Discussion Topic: Interesting results from Penn State v. Iowa dual Ethan Moore added to this discussion on January 31, 2011 For me, the scene that typified Iowa wrestling, and this season, was between 125 and 133. The freshman Ramos ran to the center of the mat, got in a stance, and stared blankly at the PSU corner, awaiting the returning national runner-up Long. Ramos looked so ready and so confident, you could sense an upset in the making. Iowa took it right to PSU, and this Nittany Lion team is the real deal. Many fans have pointed to Iowa missing the National Duals as a sign of weakness, implying that Brands and Iowa would duck competition. I don't think those dudes would ever duck a challenge, but instead were doing what they felt necessary to prepare their team for another title run. Even in defeat I was impressed, an example being the smaller Ballweg bumping up and not getting majored by the 2X AA Molinaro. This has the making of a very fun rivalry.        Discussion Topic: Interesting results from Penn State v. Iowa dual Josh Lowe added to this discussion on January 31, 2011 Iowa is super-young as well. They're not exactly seasoned vets. And remember they loaded up in recruiting this year with kids like Dziewa, Evans, Telford, et al. I read that Telford in his redshirt year has a win over NCAA DII champion Elijah Madison -- Madison being a wrestler that was involved in a long-standing rivalry with Dom Bradley during his prep career.        ► Add to the Discussion
