Not even having these guys could have helped UNI tonight.
Tim Brewster may like to tweet "WIN FIGHT DOMINATE," but the Iowa wrestling team lives that mantra. Four nights after stumbling to the finish of an 18-16 win over their other major in-state rival (ISU) and two nights after the Iowa basketball team got blitzed by UNI, the Iowa wrestling team opened up a can of whupass on their UNI counterparts and left them beaten into pulp. Granted, Iowa State is (or was) the second-ranked team in the nation, while UNI is... not ranked. BUT STILL: we celebrate dominance in any form and over any opponent, no matter how hopelessly overmatched they are. WOO DOMINANCE WE TOTALLY KILLED YOU DEAD.
Of course, even given the quality of the opposition, the scope of Iowa's dominance is pretty staggering. Iowa used a handful of back-ups (Nate Moore at 133, Montell Marion at 141, Blake Rasing at Heavyweight), none of their nine wins came by less than a major decision, six of Iowa's wrestlers recorded pins, and UNI mustered a single, solitary takedown for the entire night. Iowa had more difficulty with Coe and Cornell and UNI should have been a greater challenge. Iowa's now off until the Midlands Championships (12/28-29), a major regional tournament that should go a long way in settling spots at 141 and 157.

What have we reaffirmed?
Iowa wrestling doesn’t play down to lesser competition.
It never gets to be easy
Isn't this match being broadcast on BTN sometime?
Or was it tonight and I wasn’t watching? If so, damn.
Yeah, probably.
It was BTN.com for $3 tonight, but it’s on the actual BTN tomorrow (and Saturday, I guess).
Sweet Jesus
Six pins for Iowa? Seriously? That is the definition of dominance against UNI. I’m really excited for my tickets in Omaha this March.
They took the bar, the whole fucking bar!

One correction
I wouldn’t exactly call Marion a backup at 141. I have thought all along that he should be the starter at 141 and, based on results at Midlands (man, I miss being able to go to that tournament), I fully expect him to be the guy for the rest of the season. He just has such upside.
Life is hard. It's really hard if you're stupid.
Speaking of Demolition
I was blown away the other day when I learned that Smash (right) was also the Repo Man. It all makes sense now!
At first glance
his inner thighs truly look like testicles.

Again on Demolition
I shared beers last night with Jimmah! Clausen’s infamous attacker. I shook his hand and thanked him for knocking some sense into that cocky fucker.
They took the bar, the whole fucking bar!

Well played
Is he from Chicago or something?

No
He works for a big company in Chicago though. There are quite a few ex-players that work for big companies in Chicago based on how many of them I met last night thanks to my co-workers.
They took the bar, the whole fucking bar!

Hulk Smash
Seems appropriate.
