    did not give you the upper because i like the thought of the sport dying. Should be on ESPNU live !!!!!!!!! WTF !!!!!!!

    people must think Socrates was an idiot.

    I dont like the thought of it either AT ALL, I like wrestling as much as football and we have one of the best programs in our back yard, they keep trying to do all these big things with the national duals and whatever else, but THIS is what needs attention, THIS is what needs to be on t.v, yes penn state has been good for 5 seconds but Iowa/OSU hate each other with a passion and it will be a brawl and that is what people need to see to bring excitement back to the sport, not some b.s changes they don't need and then don't promote so it sucked last year, I was at the 1st round in Ames last year and it was pathetic, maybe a few thousand people there. Is that what you want on t.v, or would you rather see a packed house watching 2 teams that hate each other throwing bombs trying to fight to be number 1 again?

  • FYI, BTN has never shown an IOWA - Okie State dual meet, even when they were ranked #1 and #2 and not even when IOWA was working on the streak.

  • ESPNU has some Notre Dame BB game - probably can't get outa that.

    ESPN main station has the strongest man repeated every hour starting tonight? That would be great to watch 3 fat men pushing a tire around every hour for 2 days. the same tire, and the same 3 fat guys? this is important stuff???

    do you remember the guy on HI (Jim something????) - bluz knows who i'm thinking of ...
    he had some project to get kids to watch wrestling - and i took him up on it years ago. My focus was to save CSF cal state Fullerton - when i donated some money and then brought some kids from my son's FB team to see Minny slaughter the titans. kids loved it - i thought it would make some difference. Titans don't have wrestling no more.

    Really sucks - a state that has 30k HS wrestlers does not have many state college schools supporting the sport.

    How do WE, WE get the sport noticed outside of Iowa/PA/OK?
    I was a fan of Jim's efforts - but don't know how to make it bigger. Wished that the UFC craze would have fueled the interest!!

    I agree and do you mean GG? No one has heard from him in awhile, I hope he is ok. I really thought UFC would bring more attention to wrestling as well even more so when most all great fighters are former wrestlers. I wish I had more money because I would do something HUGE to bring eyes on the sport. I mean D1 is picking up more programs so maybe slowly it is headed back in the right direction. Would be nice to get Texas and Florida to have D1 programs and I agree for as tough and great as wrestling is in Cali. it is disappointing that a big school doesnt have a program like Cal,UCLA or USC

    anyways - a couple great TV ads that lasts 15 seconds - and a 2 hour episode to interrupt the continuous replays of the world strangest man on ESPN would be great for the sport.

    don't know - but this is on all access radio version. if you own all-access for all schools you can see it off the okst site.

    more important - if you guys do have a chance to see GG122 (Jim Brown) - just say hi for me (i'm sure he knows nothing of me - but he did inspire me a bit) old guys love that shit.

    Yeah I saw that, made me think that his injury might actually be an injury and they're waiting until he's 100%. That's pretty much my only thought there.

    I was very surprised at the result though. I suppose I thought that tOSU would keep it closer then they did.

  • Here's the link to the Okie State TV.com service thing, I do believe it will cost $9.99 though, which is the monthly cost for the service. Although I think that if you already have the CBSSports.com All-access pass thing, you won't have to pay the monthly fee again.

    Ironside should be there, along with the guy (I can't remember his name, sorry) who has been there for all the other duels this year. It'll be on 800 KXIC, in the Iowa City/Coralville area, coverage starts at 1:45.

    I don't know of any online streams, I don't believe that KXIC can stream it online or not, but if they can then I assume it will be on their website, here's a link to their stream, it's an Iheart radio link. Also here's a link to their website

  • I think it's odd how Ironside, the Brands brothers, and the Schwab brothers all have the same cadence and speaking qualities. It's kind of weird. Just an observation.

    Ironside is pretty fired up for the duel. He says that all the matches are "marquee matches" and that Iowa "needs to dominate where they dominate" etc.

    And yes, I'm providing updates on what a radio commentator is saying. I have little to no life.
