The Brand brothers are morons! Glad we beat their asses...
This board needs a new JonZ. Someone’s gotta step up.
All that's missing from them at matches are clown costumes. They are embarrassing.
It’s really disappointing how classless Ioweak fans are. Trailer trash
Re-watched the tape and upon further review I can come to but one conclusion. Iowa fans don't know how to lose. This explains the pushing, the shoving and trash talk after the whistle in the early matches. With the exception of heavyweight, we won the matches we were supposed to win. It was a defensive battle; only three bonus points scored by both teams. IMO Max Dean was robbed of an escape and a takedown right before the buzzer but that's how the chips fall at Iowa City. Kerkvliet got caught not once but twice in a Cassiopia bear hug which led to five points (counting riding time). I'm confident it won't happen again.
I believe Iowa fans resent we're doing to them what they did to Oklahoma State decades ago. And there's every indication our dominance won't end anytime soon because last year-- if memory serves-- half their starting lineup was either from PA or wrestled collegiately in PA at one time. Big Ten wresting is the storm, and we are the eye of that storm so long as Cael is around. For real.

The one Brand brother...guy wearing the black shirt last nite. What a lunatic! Is he actually a paid coach?
Don't know how anyone but a die hard Iowa fan could approve of those bozo's or even root for Iowa wrestling with them in charge of it.
Every time I watch Iowa wrestling, and that is only the PSU matches, I'm so glad that Cael is the PSU coach. Cael's demeanor is first class, rarely argues a call (I've never even really seen him do it), uses the brick if he has an issue, which is on top of being the best technical coach in college wrestling, which is 180 degrees from the Iowa coaches who look like they should be in charge of their children's kindergarten wrestling. About the most classless representatives of a B10 or any university. But from what I've seen recently of Iowa fans with their booing of injured players and the like, the Iowa coaches are a great match for their fans. I try and only root for PSU and the other teams I have attachment to (U of Dayton BB where my son attended, .....) and avoid rooting against other teams, but Iowa in any sport is the exception.

Sorry to spoil the party, guys.
Yep, and just another example where good defeats evil. Just when some thought there was no hope for the world!!!
I don’t recall which match it was, but the camera view shows him in the background. The match goes south for the Hawkeye wrestler and he is seen putting hands to face and and very sad look.
Like someone his milk money at school. I chuckled.
And, which scenario went terribly quiet faster (and more pleasing to Penn State ears)?
Walk off TD or Lee scoring in SV? Both were fun to (not) hear.
OL
In what way is it a down year for PSU? We have four defending national champions on the roster and AA transfers Dean and Hildebrandt, as well as Berge returning.
Yeah the Brand brothers and Ferentz. What a combination of classlessness
It comes right from the top - the Brand Brothers are classless punks and it spreads through the organization and the fan base.
In contrast, look at Cael - the definition of quiet confidence and it spreads through the organization and the fan base.
Tom Brand reminds me of Antonio Brown. Out of touch with reality. Totally nuts. Prone to idiotic emotional outbursts. In desperate need of psychological help.

I expect the team to be even better in the next year or two, tons of young talent on the team.
I will note that the Iowa fans were very classy toward Gable Steveson when he one his match the week before in Iowa City. Standing O.
Do you suppose they would have given him that standing O if he'd just won the overall match for Minnesota? Iowa was comfortably ahead before the heavyweight event. Timing is everything.
Wrestling has become my favorite collegiate sport. The way Cael runs the program reminds me of Paterno in the late 1960s and early 1970s. Spectacularly successful teams and quality players.
This year's team is fun to watch and I expect them to win the team national championship. However, I think that the individual wrestlers are a cut below many of those (Bo Nickel, Jason Nolf, Mark Hall, Zain Retherford, etc.) in the recent past. This year's wrestlers win but don't dominate.
One mark of Cael's program is that the wrestlers seem to get better and better the longer they stay in the program.
If they were coaches at Penn state, they had better win every match as well as Big Ten & NCAA title or that classless wack job behavior wouldn’t cut it.
That really isn't true. Iowa is the only team that averages over 10k add Penn State as the only one over 5k. If you averaged the Top 10 you would likely be around 3,500. It certainly has a rabid following but it is definitely a niche sport like most non-football and non-basketball.

Could you clarify this: I am reading this as saying only Penn State and Iowa average more than 5000 fans for wrestling and only Iowa averages over 10,000. Correct?
Verified it for myself:
Iowa Sets NCAA Attendance Record
IOWA CITY, Iowa -- The National Wrestling Media Association announced Friday that the University of Iowa wrestling program set an NCAA record and led the nation in average and total attendance for the 14th straight season.
