Great show…….good content, keep up the great work.
Forget catching Penn State. Iowa’s more immediate concern is holding off Oklahoma State, Ohio State, Iowa State, Nebraska, and Virginia Tech. Despite the built-in advantages of its storied history in “Wrestletown USA,” this is unmistakably a program in decline. Just look at their their RTC, it used to be the national gold standard and now third-rate. And the reality is that Tom Brands and his staff have never been an elite recruiters, a shortcoming that has forced Iowa to rely on transfers more than any other top program. It's time for a change.
This is one of the best wrestling podcasts out there if not the best. I love that David isn’t afraid to bring up 3rd rail topics that make others run the other direction.
Please keep these coming guys.
